Y-3 QOS Jacket Size Medium for Sale

Some of you may have seen my recent thread where I am selling a number of coats/jackets due to some weight gain. It kills me to do this because it's such a nice piece and QOS is my favorite Craig-era movie, but I rarely wore this jacket to begin with, I don't look good in black, and it's just too snug. Plus, the Y-3 jacket is now unobtainable and I know it will go to a good home with an AJB'er who will really enjoy putting it in their collection or wearing it.
Anyway, the details; this is a size Medium QOS jacket that I was lucky enough to snag shortly after the movie came out. As most of you know, these jackets fit a little large (I would say in-between a true M and L) and the sleeves came extremely long for some odd reason. My tailor in Boston expertly shortened the sleeves through removing and re-attaching the cuffs. I am 6' tall with long arms and he shortened the sleeves to approx 24.5", so unless you are very tall, they should be plenty long.
Aside from that, I wore the jacket 3-4 times when I first purchased it and since then it has been hanging in my closet in a garment bag. The jacket comes with the original tags that were attached via a safety pin and an envelope with a spare button. I looked over every inch of the jacket and cannot find a single defect or blemish. The tight weave of the cotton shell, amazing silk-like lining, and highly-tailored fit are just unlike any other textile jacket that I have ever put my hands on. I am asking $500 and I am willing to work with the buyer on shipping depending on where they are located.
I kid you not, I slept on this decision for not a night, but an entire week. Hopefully I am not making a mistake here, but I feel OK knowing the jacket will go to a true fan. Please let me know if you have questions.
