Size: Suggested 43" Long
Photographed on a 38" mannequin.
All measurements are external, taken with the garment laid flat, to be doubled where appropriate for circumference (with approx. metric equivalent):

Jacket Chest - armpit to armpit: 23" (58.4cm)
Shoulder to shoulder: 17 1/2" (44.5cm)
Shoulder to cuff: 27" (68.5cm)
Armpit to cuff: 18 1/4" (46.3cm)

Condition:
In good condition overall but with some damage as follows - some loss of nap to the leading edges, high spots & around the cuffs - a hole in the left back about 1/4" diameter - some moth chews to the edge of the left pocket flap - a small hole in the front of the right sleeve at about elbow level - some white paint marks to the lining & the hem edge - wear & fraying to the lining at the top of the vent (all shown in close-ups) - the top button has been moved over. It appears this was originally a full-belted model as there are marks where the belt loops have been removed, the lining has been hand sewn at the side seam & the front straps have tunnels for a belt to go through. Has been thoroughly steamed & brushed prior to listing but a slightly musty storage smell remains.

I have a no returns policy - please check the above measurements and compare to a similar garment of your own before buying - no refund offered for items that don't fit.
