EDIT - thank you all for the very kind comments and positive feedback. It really is HUGELY appreciated; you lot are the best.
The jacket is now SOLD.
This jacket is from my own wardrobe, and being sold only because it doesn't fit as well as it used to. I take good care of my clothes, so as you would expect, this jacket has no rips, stains, tears, etc, etc. It is as great today as the day it was bought. I am pricing it according to that superb condition; it's as fresh as a daisy! Retail when new would be the usual RLPL thousands.
38S RL Purple Label wool/cashmere jacket
$650 shipped worldwide with insurance & tracking
Style Details:
- tagged 38S, has been tailored for a slightly trimmer fit, see measurements below
- made in Italy by Saint Andrews
- dark grey with some lighter mottling, with a very dark purple subtle windowpane
- 95% wool, 5% cashmere - feels sturdy yet soft
- 3-2 roll
- notch lapels
- double rear vents
- flap pockets, with ticket pocket
- 4 sleeve buttons, but I got only the bottom 2 working. This is often done on Savile Row, to permit later alterations. What this means for you is that if your arms are longer than mine, your tailor can easily let down the sleeves from the bottom, and just remove one (or both) of the non-working buttons/buttonholes and then add a new working one (or two) below the current working ones, so there isn't an ugly gap between the end of the sleeve and the buttons! Clever boys, these tailors...
Measurements:
shoulder seam - shoulder seam: 18.5"
chest circumference: 41"
waist circumference: 38"
length from base of collar: 29.5"
crown-cuff sleeve length: 23.5 (+1.5" to let down if needed)

UK buyers: contact me for a GBP price; it will be significantly lower due to no currency conversion fees, and more importantly, much cheaper postage.
