2 button, center vent, fully lined
70% wool/ 30% alpaca - very soft

2. 42R Chipp sportcoat - Gone!

3. 39-40R Hickey Freeman Hand Tailored sportcoat - in very good condition, has some loose stitching of the liner above the vent, easily restitched

Whoa Cap'n, this is one interesting jacket, perfect for the boat club! From the Customized line, I think this is the highest end Hickey Freeman, has some handwork throughout.

4. NWT Charvet tie (pictured on left)

5. NWOT Brioni tie (wild one pictured on right)

Keeping it.

73% wool/27% silk. Holy schnikes, some crazy colors and multiple textures! It does have a price sticker but I consider it new without tags.

V-man,
I thought the same thing....probably got e-bayed and ended up in CO.

it is not the one from Chicago, that one was a 46R.

I will attest though, it is an amazing blazer for warm weather! I wish I could find one in my size, and the level of handwork is high.

It's a Hickey Freeman so I wouldn't call it a slim jacket but it's certainly not boxy. For what it's worth, I'm 5'9" 150lb and I like the size of the sleeves as they are and I'd take the sides in a bit. If it doesn't sell I'll probably do that and wear it.
