FS: Belvest Navy Blazer, tagged EU 52R, measures approx. US 40S

post #1 of 10

I posted this in another thread but made a mistake in my sizing conversion in the title. Thanks to drizzt and EL72 for kindly pointing this out. Up for sale is a used Belvest blazer, navy blue. Two-button, notch lapels, unvented, darts on the front of the jacket. Signature Belvest lining. Size is tagged as 52R - the equivalent of 40 in U.S. sizing. Actual measurements are pretty close to a 40S. Sorry for the poor quality of the tag photo. It reads: Belvest, expressly tailored for Piccadilly, Vigevano, Piazza Ducale 34, Tel. 86192. 100% wool with cupro lining, made in Italy. Very high quality jacket. Excellent condition. There is a slight discoloration on the lining inside the left sleeve which is totally invisible from the outside. I have included a picture. Only the lining is affected, the wool is fine. Measurements as follow: Shoulder to shoulder: 17.5" Pit to pit: 21.5" Shoulder seam to cuff: 23" Bottom of collar to hem: 29" Asking SOLD anywhere in North America.

I figured out how to take close-up photos with my camera, so here is a picture of the fabric:



And this is the lining:

This is more of a 38s (based on shoulders at least).
And I think you may want to re-assess pricing as this jacket is pretty old (with the two-button cuffs and lapel shape).

Shoulder measurements are an imprecise indicator of size. You can find 36R coats with wider shoulders than 17.5" and some 40R with smaller ones depending on the cut of the coat. I would go with the chest measurement, which, if accurate at 43", suggests a 39-40.

I will consider reasonable offers.

Also, I'm always willing to take additional pictures if requested.
