Warning: Not for the faint of heart!

There are so many things wrong with this I wouldn't know where to begin. It's not a MTM piece and I can't believe EZ would make such a thing (and it's a recent one). It's surely the ugliest Zegna coat I've ever seen, and it can be yours for only $450!

While the crest is bad, a notch lapel on DB coat is the most egregious sin to ever be committed by a tailor imo. It's painful to just visualize one but seeing it on a blue velvet coat (4x1 to boot!!) is downright torture.

Looks like something you would have expected to see in the 70s at the disco...

I agree--the crest simply condemns it to the level of some sartorial hell.

The crest on a patch pocket no less.

I think center vent on a DB suit is pretty bad too.

The label inside the coat seems to be lopsided and the made in italy tag looks rather strange being vastly diferent to the tags I have seen in Zegna suits I have owened and seen in the shops.

Could be a fake. Could be some strange production model. It appears to be a hybrid of almost every contradictory style you can have on a jacket.

This should be bought purely for the sake of science. (Perhaps it can be bought just to be destroyed).
