Just the photo and the way it's slung on the hanger, in fact it was quite windy so the jacket was moving a bit too.

I'm actually trying to think where the nearest elevator would be, certainly not around these parts that's for sure

Clearly my comment and photo of the partially opened box didn't hit the mark. It was I! Yours truly took a punt on the Ebay 44" and the photos above are of that very jacket freshly arrived from Greece.

Labelled size 44"
Measurements [as supplied by Platon to me prior to sending:
pit to pit 23.5
shoulders 18.5
back 24.75
sleeve 25.75
Observations: Despite my lowly post count in this incarnation I've had and handled original and repro A-2's over quite a few years but as I said in my into / bio I tend toward keeping a low profile. The jacket is in the middle of the weight range, not heavy, not light. The hide is grainy, pliable and with an even finish. It will be interesting to see if / how it develops character in time. Labelled 44" the fit is very similar indeed to my current favourite GW - a 46" Star 18245-P although it feels feels lighter in the wearing.
I'll leave you to judge how well the garment stacks up against whatever you choose to compare it with [which admittedly are only from my phone]. Personally I think for a new jacket it is good value considering the cost.
Hope this is of interest.
