I'm selling an item I pre-ordered because I haven't had a chance to use it. I haven't even tried it on. The size is 38. I've kept it in my closet on a hanger since it arrived. I will remove the hanger, etc., and pack it as compactly as possible for shipping. Please understand. It's new and unused, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details, as it has been stored by a private individual.
