Tweed jackets ~42R

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I am selling at least two if not a third tweed jacket, just in time for the weather to cool down; I'll entertain offers if you're interested
1. The first is a Pal Zileri Sartoriale. While not as popular or written about as often as many other producers, the sartoriale line contains some fabulous pieces
This is tagged at e52R 8 drop. 3 button dual vent. As you can see, it is NWT and is in the style I suppose of an equestrian riding coat with buttoned, flap patch pockets.. it has a rough hand with a very nice chocolate brown base with orange windowpane.. there is very little shoulder padding and the chest feels fully canvased. even the pocket flaps are lined with the same felt used for the collar.. the collar buttons closed for colder days .. the sleeves are basted and the jacket comes with an envelope containing buttons and thread.
asking $350 shipped in the US
Measurements:
shoulders - 19"
chest - 44"
waist 41"
sleeves - 25.5"
length from bottom of collar - 30.5"







2. The next is a very well made vintage tweed jacket from Avery Lucas Saint Laurie. The background is cream with a brown pattern. The jacket is 3 button, unvented with patch pockets; there are many signs of handwork, as evidenced by the collar; the sleeves have functional buttons; there are no composition or size tags
asking $80 shipped in the US
Measurements:
shoulders - 20"
chest - 46"
waist - 41"
sleeves - 24.5"
length from bottom of collar - 32.5"




3. The last is RL Purple Label 75% wool / 25% alpaca.. I just picked this up from Lance at VCH and love the fabric.. it is tagged a 44L, though probably measures to a slim 42L ;NWT and button pouch
It is just a hair tight on me.. I don't plan on gouging anyone (it was listed at $500 on the bay), but would like to recoup what I paid plus additional shipping and paypal fees, so $325 shipped in the US (retail is $1595)
shoulder - 19"
chest - 44"
sleeves - 27"
length - 32"

All very nice indeed. Pity the shoulders on the Avery are too wide for me. The PZ is delicious.

I love the pockets on the PR jacket too.

Like the looks of both those, but I love the PZ.

bump... asking for a little love

I know this doesn't help, but if I had a 1000 dollars spare and a slightly smaller frame, I'd have the PZ and the PL off you. They look lovely and would look nice over in the UK.

Alas, i've had one too many dinners and i'm struggling to keep up with the IOU's from all of the beautiful stuff on this site.

Sorry but good luck with it.

Regards

Clint

if there is interest in the RLPL tweed, I'd like to know sooner than later. Lance has allowed me to return the jacket, but I don't want to string him along. With the deal I got, I'd be happy to pass it along In a few days, I'll pack it up for return FYI, the angora gives it an extremely nice hand

one final bump for the RLPL
I've told Lance that if there are no bites in the next day that I'd return it
This is a beautiful jacket
MSRP is $1595 and still has the retail tag
The identical jacket is being offered on ebay for $625 BIN/OBO
