A 44 is like 20+ inches
Sounds good. I put a small bid on it. A little scared since the shoulders are gigantic (c'mon, that's more of a 44 than a 40, right?) and the sleeves are functional but we shall see how it plays out! Looks like a great jacket.

My measurements were an altered 38R. Made to measure, making it a 38L. Shoulders were left exactly at 17.5. So, no matter what it may be, it may still be plenty large on me. 1.5" of extra room. We'll see, if I even get it.

For a moment I thought the guardian article said the Versace house was on sale for $25m, not the minimum bid. That would have been a steal

Now I'm completely confused.....How can a 44R only have a 43" (21.5) chest?

I am baffled by that chart as well, it is saying since I am a 44R I wear greater than an XXL Polo? In what tiny child sizes? I wear a large in Polo, my shirt size is 16.5/34-35 and shoulder, chest, and sleeves are a perfect 44R.

Not sure but Kent Wang, Tiberias Clothing and Proper Suit use the measurements as a base on their MTM so it must be working. Not comparing the brands but I'm comparing the sizes, which I know a 38 fits with some MTM modifications.

Here, made this for you so it's easier to stay on topic. Hope it helps.



Either way, we're straying from the path of LuxeSwap so maybe just call it a draw and let it play out. Thanks for the help, or whatever it was. :p.
