Size 42 Bronco

This one needs a lining, but could be a good restoration project for someone.

And there I was thinking it was a United. What was the tell tale sign?

Sadly the shoulder seam is not visible from the pics to determine whether it is centred under the epaulet (Sheeplined) or behind the epaulet (Bronco) but the horizontal over-stitching on the hanger is typical of Broncos and not of Sheeplined.

Good eye.

Before anyone bids I asked the guy about the sizing and had this reply:

'armpit to armpit aprox 20 inches, shoulder seam to seam aprox 17 1/4 inches, windflap aprox 21 1/2 inches, sleeve aprox 24 inches.remember i said aprox 42 size.'

I guess what he actually meant by 'approx 42 size' was actually size 38". Although to be fair he hasn't listed in the fashion you'd expect of a seasoned A-2 seller so he may be forgiven for his slip up.

Damn shame as I was keen on taking a punt. Thanks for the heads up Andrew.

Steve, its too small for me and I will not be bidding. Good luck to those who do.
