FS: BN BoO Donegal Tweed Schoolboy Blazer, size 2

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
SOLD

Last time I posted this it was an interest check. It is now officially for sale, and as such, is priced to sell. It originally retailed $1600 without a hefty sales tax. It's yours for $750 shipped. That's more than half off. You cannot beat a deal like that.

TERMS
I accept paypal only. Priority to US customers with confirmed Paypal addresses. Due to recent supermarket scams (and my ongoing paranoia) I have the right to refuse sale if you do not meet these requirements or if I can't confirm your credibility. Items as is, all sales final. If you are interested, send me your paypal email address and I will send an invoice.

I am not accepting offers.

DESCRIPTION
Do i really need to say anything about this? Entirely handmade, fully canvassed"”not fused, fully lined, hand details, cuffs still basted (horn buttons included, of course). Assuming that my chest expands in girth in the coming years, I would take this jacket to my grave. To my knowledge this isn't any different from the same jacket they're offering this season, so you can either buy this one at this great price, or you can pick one up for $1600 (with tax it cost me around $1700). Worn around the house in front of the mirror before storing in a garment bag.

I will ship this via FedEx or UPS and will provide tracking. You will need to sign for it upon its delivery, so you'll either need to be home to accept it, or you'll need to retrieve it from your local FedEx or UPS center.

shoulder seam-to-shoulder seam: 16"
pit-to-pit: 19"
torso: 17.5"
length: 25.75"
shoulder seam-to-sleeve: ~25" (sleeves are still basted. there's feels to be about 3" of fabric tucked into the sleeves to have them lengthened. jacket includes 4 buttons per sleeve.)

What is "BN BoO"?

A better picture of the label would help your listing.

Is the jacket still for sale? If so, what size does a size 2 equate to?

Can't respond to PM as I only have one post. Trying to figure out measurements. I'm a 38 but the narrowest shoulder on any of my jackets is 17 inches, so afraid the jacket might be too small.

Gorgeous.
If I hadn't stretched my bugdet for 1st quarter purchases already, I would have copped this in a hearbeat. Always wanted a tweed coat like this. Looks a little tight in the shoulders though?

measurements are tricky, and the 16" is an approximation. if you're still undecided, i can take pictures of the blazer alongside a tape measure for scale. i'm a size one, and the shoulders on my suit hug reasonably; the brand's shoulders are intentionally narrow like that.

it is gorgeous! you should stretch your budget even more and make me a reasonable offer. overall, BoO jackets and garments aren't too forgiving (narrow shoulders, high armholes, slim, cropped sleeves); they're comfortable, but they hug"”and if you're like me, it fits just right.

I can fit in a Thom Browne size 2 (I think a similar size scale ) snugly, and I look for 18" shoulders, so I doubt the shoulders on this are 16", but I could be wrong. I've never measured one or tried on BoO jackets.

depending on where you measure, 16.5" is the longest the shoulders get"”nowhere near 18".

i've never tried on a thom browne or black fleece, but from what i've seen and read, those lines aren't built for the slim and slender despite their cropped stylings. and actually, a superfuture member with this same jacket said he wears TB in a 0 or 1, depending.
