This is an absolutely beautiful example of that Trad/Ivy classic, the Chesterfield topcoat! Made for Brooks Brothers, this beautiful coat is cut from a lovely mid-weight cloth in a dark charcoal miniature herringbone weave, accented with the traditional velvet collar. The beauty of the patterning of this coat is that it takes its formality down a notch from its solid-charcoal brethren, and hence makes it much more versatile.
This coat appears to be fully canvassed; it is fully lined. It features a concealed placket at the front, and a single hook vent at the rear. It is, naturally, beautifully tailored, and has a wonderful drape. It has very natural shoulders. The two deep front pockets are both lined in soft cotton duck for durability and comfort.
It does have one minor and easily remedied flaw; there is a separation of the seam at the back for about 1 1/2", as shown. This, though, it an easy fix for any competence dry-cleaner tailor. Because of this, though, this coat is in Very Good condition.
Asking just $95, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS!
