For sale is one pre-owned, 100% wool sport coat in grey wool twill with a brown windowpane from trusted internet menswear purveyor Howard Yount.
This jacket is fully canvassed, and the outer shell is 100% lambswool from Italy's Lanificio di Pray. The jacket was made in China by a reputable manufacturer that met Jamison's (HY's proprietor) exacting standards; per Jamison, the fabric buyer for the manufacturer was at Samuelsohn for decades. The jacket is tagged a 46 (EU 56), but because I've had this taken in to a tailor for a nip and a tuck, I'll provide a more fulsome set of measurements here:
Chest: 23.125" pit-to-pit (46.25" around)
Shoulders: 19.25" (shoulder seam to shoulder seam)
Length (from top of collar): 31.25"
Right and Left Sleeves (from top of sleevehead): both 25"
Truly, Jamison's word is gold because quality is apparent in this jacket. The wool possesses a soft hand and is quite warm, yet the jacket feels quite light notwithstanding the fabric's relative weight. The mid-grey base color combined with the brown windowpane allows for some earthier color combinations that are quite elegant. I often wear this jacket with dark grey flannels and brown suede oxfords. The jacket also looks quite nice with a pair of brown donegal trousers, also from Howard Yount.
This jacket has received regular usage during the fall and winter months since 2011, but shows only limited signs of wear and is holding up quite well. The jacket will be dry-cleaned prior to shipping.
Far lesser jackets have sold for quite a bit more money, but this is not the case here for this will provide you with an excellent return on investment. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions should you have them.
I'll accept $180.00 to buy it now, but I am willing to entertain reasonable offers. Happy shoppings.
