************ALL JACKETS SOLD PENDING PAYMENT************** I'll be putting a bunch of my suits/sportcoats from sizes 37s through 40s up in the next week. Will include Oxxford, Hickey Freeman, Paul Stuart (and maybe) Polo Blue Label and Saint Andrews. First, though, comes the cheap stuff I desperately want out of my closet - All three of these coats have seen wear, with the first two having a few fabric pulls that are noticeable only upon close inspection. Here are pics for now, with measurements up tonight. Prices are - $35 for David Hunter, $26 for Valentino and $46 for Hickey Freeman (all w/ shipping to N. America). Feel free to make offers. David Hunter wool sportcoat with leather buttons and suede elbow patches. 2button, single vent. This is an amazing coat with high armholes, sloped shoulders, nice waist suppression, open and rounded quarters, and an amazing lapel roll. It doesn't have a size tag, but is a trim 38S or standard 37S. I desparately want to keep it as a casual coat, but the waist is just too tight (and I prefer not to walk around with unbuttoned coats). There is a slight hole on the collar, but you can't see it when it's worn (it's on the collar fold and hits your neck when the jacket's on - see last picture). Photos (apologies for fuzzy shots. 4th and 5th photos are best color approximation) -

Valentino Uomo 100% virgin wool sportcoat in a size 40S (can easily fit a big 38s, though). This is a fully-canvassed 2button coat with nice waist suppression and dual vents. The jacket is big in the chest and shoulders for me, hence my letting it go. If you want a cheap fully-canvassed navy blazer (a wardrobe staple), grab this. There are some fabric pulls on teh sleeves, but not noticeable unless you look at it from 6 inches away. Photos (4th photo is best color approximation) -

Hickey Freeman grey wool jacket in a subtle glenplaid pattern. Boardroom model. Jacket comes with works - dual vents, working buttonholes on the sleeve and ticket pocket. It's fully-canvassed and has some gorgeous buttons. The fabric is great for year-round wear and was especially suited for the summer heat. It's fully lined and tagged a 38S (fits true to size). I'm letting the jacket go only because I rarely wear it (prefer brighter colors for the spring/ummer and thicker fabrics for the cold). Photos (3rd photo is best color approximation; the blue coming up in the 2nd shot is due to bad lighting) -
