Measured & noted

Chest (pit-to-pit) 21 in (20-22.5 in, 7 comps) — XS-specific comps were scarce, so this is scaled from small/medium Interchange and similar Columbia ski shell measurements plus Columbia men's XS body chest guidance. Vintage outerwear shells usually have several inches of ease.
Shoulder Width 18 in (17-19 in, 4 comps) — Several comps listed shoulder widths in the 16-18.5 in range for women's S/M or small-fitting shells; men's XS outerwear is likely near the upper end.
Sleeve Length From Shoulder Seam 24 in (23-25.5 in, 6 comps) — Comparable Interchange/ski shells ranged about 23-26 in depending whether measured from shoulder or pit; verify because Columbia radial sleeves can be awkward to measure.
Back Length From Base Of Collar 27 in (25.5-28.5 in, 7 comps) — Comps vary from shorter women's shells around 24.5-26.5 in to men's M/L shells around 29-33 in. Men's XS shell estimate centers near 27 in.
