R = Regular fitting (for chaps between 5' 7" - 5' 11" tall)
S = Short fitting (5' 2" - 5' 6" tall)
L = Long fitting (6'- 6' 5" tall)
For example, if your chest measures 42 inches and you are of average height, a jacket or coat listed as '42R' will normally be a good fit. When estimating the 'size to fit' we take into account the garment cut and how it is meant to be worn.
How to measure yourself
When grading items we use the following naming system:
Mint: An item is as perfect and pristine as when it was originally made and shows no sign of wear (mint condition is rare for vintage clothing).
Immaculate: An item shows only the slightest signs of wear.
Excellent: An item shows typical signs of wear due to occasional use but has no obvious flaws.
Very good: An item is considered wearable but has some obvious flaws (e.g.staining or soiling or loose stitching to lining). Flaws are repairable, so the item can be returned to Excellent condition.
Good: An item is wearable but cannot be returned to Excellent condition even if repairs are made.
Restoration: An item has many significant flaws but its historical value merits an investment.
