1. 38R Lands End sportcoat - preowned in excellent condition, pockets still sewn shut with exception of breast pocket

Sold.

Tagged 38R
2 button, center vent, fully lined
70% wool/ 30% alpaca - very soft

Chest: 42"
Shoulder: 18"
Length: 30" (from bottom of collar)
Sleeve: 24"

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

Sold.

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.

Size not tagged but estimated on measurements
6x2 double breasted, partial lining, light airy open weave (I stretched the material and took a picture through it), huge shell/mother of pearl buttons.

Chest: 43"
Shoulder: 18"
Length: 30"
Sleeve: 24"

4. NWT Charvet tie (pictured on left)

Gone.

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.

Just curious, are you located in the Chicago area?

Colorado, did you see any of these items in Chicago?

Is that Brioni store tag a Chicago tag?

I have seen that HF blazer before; it was from Maus & Hoffman as well.

The close up shot of the shoulder is most accurate. The other pictures have a cold blue tinge to them from the camera/lighting.

Price cuts across the board.

No one wants a NWOT Brioni tie for $24?

^^ It's definitely more suited to Ft Lauderdale or Palm Beach than either Chicago or Denver.

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.

How slim does that double-breasted navy coat fit?

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.
