Anyway if someone could quote it here for me I would appreciate it.

either way, DC w/ LP 160s fabric is nice. but based on that pic (and without having seen the maker tag, a picture of which can easily prove me wrong and make you $5 richer), i think that particular jacket is hartmarx-made, not isaia.

So this Secret Santa thing was a great idea, Hansderhund!  

With gratitude and hopes for a very Merry Christmas to you, cpmac7,
