FS: NWT Luciano Barbera Sartoriale 40, 100% Cashmere Made in Italy 38/40, BB Suit 37S

Thread Starter 
NWT Luciano Barbera Collezioni Sartoriale tan sport coat made from 55% wool, 30% linen, 10% silk, and 5% cashmere. It is tagged 50 and would best fit a 40R. The fabric looks like your standard tan/beige linen sport coat, but it has a much smoother and heavier feel with a lot of great texture to it. The coat is fully canvased and has very natural shoulders. It is quarter lined, 3-roll-2 with a single rear vent and two lower patch pockets. Everything is still basted, and buttons are provided for you to add working buttons on the sleeves. This is a great spring sport coat, and this color should be a staple in every wardrobe. The retail is $2,150. Shipped for $499, which is over 75% off! Shoulders: 17.5 Chest: 21 Length: 31 Sleeve: 26 I am a 38, so hopefully this will give a reasonable idea for the shape of the shoulders. This is also the most accurate representation of the actual color. Notice all of the handwork on the back of the lapel. Two NWT 100% cashmere sport coats made in Italy that could fit either a 38 or 40. These are Bobby Jones jackets which retail for $1,350. I bought these for myself after seeing both edmorel and chorse wearing these exact coats. They are just too long for me. Here are links to the threads in which chorse wore one of the coats, that he described as "like wearing a cashmere sweater. It's phenomenally soft and unbelievably comfortable." http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...postcount=6815 http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...ostcount=10012 I have one in heather (light grey) and another in rainshower (light blue). Both have a herringbone pattern, quarter lining, two buttons, three patch pockets (including the breast), side vents, and working sleeve buttons. They both have a great herringbone pattern to give the fabric some visual interest. Here is a link to chorse's old auction for some additional pictures: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...6+MSRP+%241350 I can't say enough great things about these coats. I wish they fit me. I'm asking for $200 shipped, which is 85% off retail! Shoulder: 18 Chest: 41 Length: 31 Sleeve: 25 Grey SOLD PENDING PAYMENT Blue Detailed shot of the herringbone Brooks Brothers 37S SOLD

Some interest in the blue cashmere jacket, but no takers yet. Luciano Barbera still available as well.

The Luciano Barbera coat looks great, but I am a 38 as well. The dimensions don't seem inconsistent with a 38; however, it looks a little loose along your chest. How high are the armholes?

You are correct. It's definitely loose in my chest. The shoulders fit me fine and would probably fit the shoulders of others who wear a 38. However, it definitely fits like a 40 in the chest and waist and would require alterations to make it fit a 38. The armholes are quite high, and the lapel gorge makes me think it is Attollini. Perhaps someone else here could do a better job of identification.
