Size 46 guys, here is an incredible opportunity. I am pleased to offer two full canvassed bespoke sportcoats, one made from Scabal vicuña/cashmere fabric and the other from Loro Piana 100% cashmere fabric.
- $850 firm for the Scabal vicuña/cashmere SOLD
- $450 firm for the Loro Piana 100% cashmere SOLD
The coats were purchased for ~$2,000 to $4,500 each at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. They were tailored by B. Clemo, one of the most expensive and elite tailors in Hong Kong, located at the time in the Peninsula Hotel (see label in photos). Both have full canvas hand made construction, side vents, some shoulder padding, and two functioning cuff buttons on each sleeve.
A quick word on this Scabal vicuña/cashmere fabric: the following quote comes from the highly regarded British tailor Thomas Mahon (of The English Cut blog), speaking of this exact Scabal fabric:
"I really wish you could reach in to your monitor and touch this cloth. I promise you it's quite unbelievable how soft and luxurious it is. This fabric is from Scabal and it's an incredible Cashmere and Vicuña mix. I know there are some very expensive fabrics out there, but to be honest I'm not totally convinced they're are as special as they claim. But If I wore a hat, I'd take it off to Scabal, because this is something special."
Both sportcoats are in pretty much brand new condition (in other words, completely immaculate and flawless). I am offering them here on SF for a few days at 80% off retail, despite the fact that my pal Spoo could likely fetch higher prices for me if auctions are necessary. The $850 price for the Scabal piece is firm (unless you want both jackets, then I will work with you on a discount). $850 represents absolutely unbelievable value as this ultra-rare fabric alone would cost you $3,000 or more, and the tailoring is world class to boot as you can see from the photos. I am happy to provide additional photos and answer questions, just PM me.
