Brioni Sportcoat + Formal shoes & etc

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
A few things I have lying around consolidated into one post, plus a new-to-me Brioni coat. This is a really beautiful coat by Brioni for Neiman Marcus. Not sure if it would be bespoke or MTM, perhaps someone can clarify for me based on the tag. It does have a name and doesn't have a size, so I'm presuming it's one or the other. The fabric is super 150s, very soft hand, and it's got a tiny houndstooth in black-on-tan. The big picture photos of course blend this to a sort of overall tan, that is very different from the in-person effect of the pattern. It reads almost like a small B&W houndstooth, but it is definitely very slightly tan, and the detailing is in brown, which emphasizes this. The coat has working button holes, subtly Brioni branded lining, and is just lovely. The condition is excellent -- the only singificant flaw I can spot is that the interior pocket button is missing (as pictured). There is, however, a bit of thread to hold a buttonniere behind the lapel. I measure the chest as being about 21" across. The coat measures 31" along the back seam from the base of the lapel, and the sleeve measures about 26" from the top shoulder seam along the top of the sleeve. THat would make it about a 40R. This reminds me of something a guy I used to work for might wear on the weekend -- former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown. Now $95 shipped in the CONUS Consolidated from a previous post: A pair of Brooks Brothers made in England formal pumps, in size 10E. They're worn, but in good shape. Some creasing on the toebox and one scuff, which is on the underside of the upper (does that make sense? It's below the swell of the foot). The scuff is maybe 7 mm long and 2 or 3 wide, and it isn't discolored, just not "patenty". And as I mentioned, if you're looking down at the shoes, it's below the swell, so it isn't really visible. Overall their in excellent shape, I found them with the original trees in, and the guy had Alden shoe polish, so he knew what he was up to. I'd rate the condition 8/10, beautiful pair of shoes. SOLD Next is a pair of Mezlan lace-up oxford style formal shoes, these are size 11W. Another beautiful pair of shoes, these ones are simple tuxedo shoes with a bit of satin (not too shiny) across the side so you don't look like a security guard. These have also been worn, but aren't showing any creases or damage worth mentioning. Condition is 9/10, another wonderful pair of shoes. Now $25 including shipping. Finally this size 43R Brooks Brothers Made in the USA double-breasted blue blazer. Metal buttons, great condition, no flaws, and it's a true 43R. I can't find my tape, so I had to measure with a yardstick, but the chest seems to be a true 43, measuring around 44 inches or so (this is confirmed by it being about an inch big for my own 42" chest). The sleeves are ~23" measured along the top from the shoulder seam, the back is ~31" along the center seam, measured from the base of the collar. Center vented, $18 including shipping.

Uhm, obviously, it's a Brioni sportcoat, not a coat but the lesser-known Lebanese-made brand "Bioni". But apparently you can't edit the title.

I'm interested in the Brooks Brothers pumps. Can you ship to an APO address? This is usually done through USPS Priority mail.
