Vicuna is the rarest and most expensive material in the world
historically used for Presidents and royalty. Suits and coats
made using Vicuna wool range in price between $15-$50 thousand
dollars. See below for more details on this incredible material.

You will be the best dressed man in the room wearing what
kings have worn for centuries.

This jacket was made in Hong Kong using a blend of Vicuna wool
and cashmere.

Jacket has a two button front, is fully lined and center vented.
The overall condition is excellent.

Fits most closely to a 46 Regular, but is not labeled
so please rely on measurements for best fit.


Measurements:

20" top of shoulders, 24" pit to pit, 24" sleeves with 2" to let out,
30.5" length from bottom of collar.


See my feedback and store!

USA only


Vicuñas produce small amounts of extremely fine wool, which is very expensive because the animal can only be shorn every 3 years
and has to be caught from the wild. When knitted together, the product of the vicuña's fur is very soft and warm. It is understood that
the Inca valued vicuñas highly for their wool, and that it was against the law for any but royalty to wear vicuña garments.
