No this was a new jacket.. not used.. just a closeout.. they only had a few sizes left.. luckily the jacket either runs small, or I like it looser than it should be.. either way.. I got a size 46.. and with the liner I wouldnt want it ANY tighter.. without the liner it's a tad loose.. but I like it.
