Note that the women's coat buttons on the opposite side. Also the one you have, as noted is a 40. A 40 is nearly always a mans coat
Thats what I read too, but looking at the APC website suggests that they didn't take that rule into account for the women's coat:

Maybe they're just trying to make one coat do double duty and hope nobody notices?

Great sweater finds.
Sweaters are the hardest things for me to come up with. I haven't thrifted a single decent one, and that's not from lack of trying.

A few recent things.
First off, what the hell is this jacket/shirt thing? I probably shouldn't have picked it up (10 % cashmere, but made in Hong Kong), though it seemed kind of unusual
Next up:
And I picked up these trousers because they seemed like regular pants. The tag, however, leads me to believe that they are part of a suit. But maybe not. There are two different linings in the pants, so maybe that's what the jacket lining/trouser lining thing is all about.
Ahh! I'm so confused.

Thanks ATL...if you like the LP I'd be willing to take some of my money back
I think the Biella/Trillion will stay in my closet unless i get an offer I cant refuse. It actually fit quite well. The NM showed my gut which is why I pegged it a large.

I have a bunch of thrifted shirts that are .25" to .5" too short in the sleeves. Most of them are nominally my size but had shrunk some. I was going to re-donate a bunch of these shirts but thought I'd try stretching the sleeves first. And it seems to actually work.
Of course they may just revert back to the too-small size next wash. We'll see.

Cool finds. Despite being a HK tailor piece, that shirt-jacket thing is really cool. The styling and pattern is great.
As for the trousers, they're likely odd trousers (patterned trousers sold just as trousers). I've got a pair of plaid trousers from Brioni that are the Cannes model.

I saw the picture first without reading and was like WTF! That's a good idea if it works.

Nothing at the thrift for me today, but as I was leaving a sales lady was cleaning a pair of new w/o box Ferragamo patent leather lace ups. 13D. I'm feeling generous and not looking to make a killing off these, so shoot me a PM if interested and we can discuss price.
These are the shoes.

Eff. I went back to the thrift to buy them and on further inspection there was a small, but noticeable cut on the toe of the left shoe.
