Isaia/Valentino jackets Polo/Corneliani pants 38

post #1 of 10

Up for sale is a lovely black Valentino jacket that is made by Isaia. I didn't know Isaia made for Valentino but as you can see from the tag, it is. This is a very soft, slim cut, narrow lapelled jacket that I'd say is the same as the Base 2 cut from Isaia. The fabric is super 150's. Would look bad ass with jeans or grey pants.Size 46R tagged 58eu $275 shipped. length 32 shoulder 21 sleeve 26 chest 49 Up next is some lovely Corneliani for Polo 100% flax pants just in time for summer They feature double foward pleats and are lined to the knee. The color is tan and the pants have suspender buttons. tagged 38 unhemmed $79 shipped. And I still have these jackets which I'll now take $275 shipped. Hey guys, I have two lovely Isaia jackets for sale. First up is a 100% Bamboo 2 button Isaia jacket. If you haven't felt bamboo it is a very soft but supposedly very strong fabric. It's medium weight and could be worn year-round.I don't think I need to tell you about Isaia but suffice to say it's one of the best. Lightly padded shoulder and very soft canvas. Basted sleeves with buttons included. It would look great with white pants in summer or with brown cords in winter. This jacket has a small flaw. Looks like some dufus put the tag through the lapel so the fabric sticks out a little in two spots. The good news is that it's so high that it's at your neck and not really visable when worn. 48R (58eu) $275 shipped in CONUS. chest 49 length (from bottom of collar) 32.5 sleeve (basted) 26.5 shoulder 21 Second I have a Isaia Argento 2 button jacket. Don't ask me what Argento is but I know it's full canvas like the other jacket. The shoulders are completely unpadded. The fabric is a 35% linen 35% wool 30% silk blend. The combination is a thick but light fabric that could be worn year-round. It has a very slight sheen. It's lined in the upper back. Basted sleeves. 44R (54eu) $275 Shipped in Conus. chest 47 length(from bottom of collar) 31.5 sleeve (basted) 25.5 shoulder 20

Love the bamboo. I'm looking for linen in that color to go with my sky blue Sammy bamboo pants.
I just wish that were a 48L. Well, maybe I'm glad it's not.

Beautiful Valentino. I just wish it weren't five sizes too big for me.

But, I also didn't know Isaia made for them; I was always curious who it was, but I assumed it would be a lesser maker, especially because valentino is the king of outsourcing to cheap makers and doubling the price. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see he hasn't completely cut corners.

As for "Argento," do you think it might be the color?

I'm no linguist, but wouldn't "Argento" be silver? The jacket looks brown on my monitor, although perhaps it does have a silvery sheen. Maybe refers to the sheen of the fabric? A particular name for the fabric given its materials and weave?

^Thanks for clarifying that. I couldn't remember what it was, but knew I'd seen it in a color context. For some reason, my brain was wondering if it was something related to brown, but that was probably just because of what color the jacket was.

Oh well, the search for Isaia "Argento's" meaning continues...

Check the length because it's pretty long.

Hi, Isaia makes stuff for more designers than you might think. Just a few are: Zanella Loro Piana Brooks Brothers (their high end line) Donna Karan Valentino Mr Sid Carroll & Company Paul Stuart I think they make some of the Private labeled Neiman's stuff too. There are others that I can't think of at the moment.

I'll have to keep an eye out for those brands from now on. I'm allways looking for cheap ways to get good makers and this is one of them.
