$65 CONUS/offer: Saks Fifth Ave. cashmere coat--canvassed an d fully lined!

post #1 of 2

I have two coats to pass along today, both of which date from my FatTweedy days, and both of which have been languishing as I put off listing them, both for reasons of sentiment and laziness about posting! As always, prices include boxed shipping in CONUS with delivery confirmation; International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost. Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME! Please PM with interest and offers! 1) Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere coat This is a lovely coat--thick, heavy cashmere in a lovely rich camel colour that my pictures turned to washed-out beige... So, please don't be put off by them! This coat is a lovely, thick, heavy cashmere--not the thin stuff that's available now. It's also very well-made, being half-canvassed, fully lined, and with a hook vent. The exterior pockets are lined with either suede or thick cotton duck, with the right one having a functional change pocket inside. And, of course, it's terrifically cut. However, it does have some flaws--although these are mainly lining issues. The lining under both armholes is frayed and torn, and needs to be patched--a competent dry-cleaner tailor should be able to do this. The lining under the flaps of the front pockets is also frayed and worn, as shown--again, an easy patch, unless you'd like to ignore this as it won't get worse quickly, and could be readily fixed if it did. There are also small rubbed patches from wear on the right sleeve by the shoulder, by the hook vent, and near the hem, on the front, as well as on the elbows. These are from abrasion from wear, and so give the coat a lovely, lived-in old-money WASP-y feel... However, they do render it unsuitable as a business coat and mean it should be a more casual weekend or evening coat--and one that would be absolutely perfect for dates, being formal, yet, now, owing to its acquired patina and hence sprezzatura, not! Given this, this coat is in Good condition, and so I'm asking just $69, or offer! Measurements: Chest: 25 Sleeve: 27 Length: 46 Shoulder: 20 1/2 Tear under sleeve (found on both sides; this is the worst affected): Tears under pocket flaps: Rub marks on sleeve (similar one by hem on front): Rub by vent: 2) Barbour Polarquilt SOLD This is a very nice coat, but I've just shrunk out of it... It's in mid-brown with a quilted dark brown lining; it's very warm, unlike most Barbours. There are two handwarmer pockets on the front, and a zipped interior pocket. The coat has the Barbour logo zip which moves fluidly, and Barbour logo snaps. The back has a snap vent, like the Bedale, for ease of riding or just sitting. The coat has a very small dark mark on the underside of one arm which can't be seen when it's worn (shown), and a small rip (a momento of barbed wire while following a fox-hunt in Gloustershire!) by one of the back vents (shown), which would be an easy fix. There might also be a few stray hairs in the lining from my hunt dogs! Given these flaws, then, I'd say this was in Very Good condition, and so I'm Tagged an XXL, but please see Measurements: Chest: 27 1/2 Sleeve: 27 Length: 32 1/2 Shoulder: 21
