For anyone considering this, I'll note the coat's a true 3 button. Some folks seemed disappointed with that previously.


Yikes, I must not have read this carefully enough. I thought it was a suit.

What the hell. I just bought it.

Thanks for posting the link!

A nice lady at the outlet let me mix and match, so that I got a smaller coat and larger trou. Hope whichever poor soul got the leftover creation tried it on before purchasing.

I ordered it from a store in VA I think. I called them back after I received it to see if I can just exchagne the jacket but they said no.

Oh Well.

He's been selling quite a few of those. A number of members have said the seller is reliable. Maker is Attolini.. they are older, but not that old stylistically.
