Canali 38S/38R silk/wool sportcoat w/ free pocket square

$145 CONUS

I bought this off of forum member Dr. No a few weeks back, but have decided to forego adding it to my jacket rotation (I just commissioned a slew of shirts and pants from my tailor in Bombay, so I need to keep my finances in check).

Anyhow, it's an amazing piece, exceeding my expectations for a Canali jacket. First-rate condition. Very soft with a delicate weave. 55% silk, 45% wool. Full-canvassed, double-vents, 3 button (amazing lapel roll). Typical Canali details - lots of shape to the body with substantial lapel roll, a suppressed waist and high armholes Shoulders may seem small for a 38, but they are not - the narrow shoulders are offset by just the right amount of padding on the shoulders, chest and around the collarbone. I don't have one handy, but I'll post up a photo later tonight of me wearing the jacket to provide a sense of the fit and cut.

While this is tagged a 38R, I think it's suitable for a 38S (which is my size). Note the following measurements -

Shoulders: 17.5"
Chest: 40"
Waist: 38.5"
Sleeve: 24.5"
Length (BOC) - 29.5"

The distance from the top of besom pockets to the front hem is 10.5", so you can easily lop off an inch and still maintain a proper balance w/r/t the pockets.

I'll throw in the pocket square (Talbott, all silk, made in Italy, hand-rolled edges) Dr. No gave me with the jacket.

All photos (except last) taken in natural light, so color is accurate. Close-up is likely most accurate, though. Apologies for graniness of first photo - I'll correct that when I get home tonight.
