FS: RLPL (Cantarelli) Navy Linen Blazer NWT

Hi folks, I just acquired this very nice linen blazer and thought I'd see if there was interest here before I list on Ebay.

It appears to be the exact same blazer as currently being sold on RL's website here for $1495, except with a full Bemberg lining instead of half. It also appears to be made by Cantarelli, according to the interior tag.

Notch-collar, three button front, double rear vents. Three side pockets, one angled chest pocket.

Size: 44R

Price: $325 shipped CUS, ask about international shipping.

I am open to reasonable offers.

PM/post any questions you may have

Cantarelli owns SA , and RLPL comes in 2 lines ones made by SA at 3k+ and ones by Canterlli at below 3K. Both are excellent quality.

The main difference between the the shops (St Andrews & Canterelli) is the mechanization of the shops themselves and the amount of handwork (that imo is not always necessary) put into each garment. IE: Cutting with an electric knife vs cutting (fewer garments) with shears (or giant scissors). There are also (standard) finishing differences between the two shops... finished sleeves with buttons vs basted sleeves. There are additional differences in the (standard) quality of the trimmings.... thread, interlinings, and buttons etc. However the manufacturer (Canterelli) may substitute or upgrade these (trimmings) at the request of the client (RL).

I have also found this to be the case. I'm normally a 44 in PL but this one is about a size too small. If you are a 42 this would probably fit you.
