Brioni 100% Cashmere Overcoat / Silk Lined. Handmade

post #1 of 20
Thread Starter 
I have for sale, a most wonderful luxurious item from the king of handmade bespoke - Brioni of Italy. This coat is handmade made from the finest cashmere wool, and for the lining - the finest silk. This item would cost you around $7000 (£3500)...plus it would take a month or two to make! Brioni sell to the world's elite - cool customers include: Donald Trump, Pierce Brosnan, Kofi Annan. All Brioni items take hours of handcrafting....to own a Brioni is to experience shere luxury. Read more about Brioni here: http://www.lifeinitaly.com/fashion/brioni.asp Brioni UK/UK: approx 40R / Medium 100% Cashmere 100% Silk lining Leather button holes / inner pocket flaps Brown outer / dark brown inner (branded Brioni) Leather Brioni label surround IMMACULATE CONDITION - no wear around the cuff / collar etc Measurements: Outer arm length (from shoulder join to cuff): 26.5" Inner arm length (from pit to cuff): 18.5" Shoulder to shoulder width: 19.25" Length (from rear collar to hem):42.5" Armpit to armpit (at widest point): 23.5" Waist: 22" Condition This item is absolutely immaculate in every way. There is not a thread out of place. There is no wear to the cashmere...this item is like new, and has probably only been worn once or twice. The inner silk lining is beautiful, with no damage...it is how it was when it left the Brioni tailors hands! No buttons missing.. Its the finest item I have ever had in my possession...and its a real bargain. Payment: I am happy for anybody to inspect the item in person (Berkshire, UK) prior to buying. I will take bank transfers (no surcharge) or paypal. Paypal is subject to a 2.9% surcharge to cover their fees. Personal cheques must be supplied with a proof of residence (e.g. a scan copy of council tax bill - this must match with the address where I post the item) and a landline telephone number. USA & European customers - paypal with confirmed address only. I do not ship to any places, unless you pay with a bank transfer. I will ship to established members of this forum via Royal Mail Airsure (insured + tracking) or Special Delivery (UK). Price - sensible offers taken

Kind words - many thanks. Packing an item correctly is something sellers often forget! JP

A couple of people have asked for measurements. I will have them by the end of the week hopefully. The coat is having a fresh professional dry clean at Jeeves of belgravia in London. Please email via Style Forum, expressions of interest. I will then go through the list (in time order received) and ask if you would like the item.

Rgds,John

Don't you think that photo quality is a bit low and doesn't do justice to items?

Better than 90% of the sellers on these boards including, and most especially, me.

The coat is lovely. The photos are good but the JPEG compression is high. That may be due to your camera, your photo editor, or the place that hosts your photos.

Its the hosting - they automatically compress them. If anybody requires pic sent to an email account, I can get the originals emailed. Also, I have done some measurements: Outer arm length (from shoulder join to cuff): 26.5" Inner arm length (from pit to cuff): 18.5" Shoulder to shoulder width: 19.25" Length (from rear collar to hem):42.5" Armpit to armpit (at widest point): 23.5" Waist: 22" The item is still for sale, I would like this to go to a good home for xmas....I am not putting onto ebay - its only for sale on here....so speak now or forever hold your peace! Regards, John

Yikes, guys. Don't bust him too hard on those photos. It's tough getting good pics of anything. Those are a lot better than a lot of things that get posted around here, including some (most? all?) of mine.

Good luck on the sale. It's troublingly in my size, but not in my price bracket.

Thanks for your kind words make me an offer - you never know I may feel generous!! I would rather sell it than it gather dust in my stock room! This item is a lifelong purchase - and will serve you as such
