*The jacket isn't really "bengal stripe" I guess since it's not cotton, but that was the best term I could think of to describe it. I know there are some Ben Silver fans on style forum - well, probably more on AAAC. But anyway, hopefully somebody is interested in these items. I don't see Ben Silver a lot on the second hand market, so again, *hopefully* these prices are somewhere in the range of reasonableness. I love this stuff, but I love paying college tuition bills more

detail picture detail picture 2 detail picture 2 is an ACCURATE representation of the color and nap of the fabric. It is not a "smooth" weave, and has lots of texture and character built in. This is a pretty nice sport coat. 2 button, single vent, 1/4 lined, 4 button cuffs, fully canvassed, made in Canada (courtesy of Samuelsohn I'm guessing?). 36% silk, 34% wool, 30% linen. Very lightweight, very interesting material, great piece of summer apparel. Shoulder seam to seam - 18.5" Pit to pit - 22" Shoulder seam to end of sleeve - 26" This jacket was over 6 or 7 hundred new and it's probably a little over a year old. Barely worn, it can be yours for the incredibly low price of $120 + shipping, or best reasonable offer. Item 2: Great Ben Silver shirt (size 15/34 EU 38) Picture one Picture 2, accurate color Retail $185, yours for $50 plus shipping. Chest pocket, spread collar, 100% cotton, great shirt. Pretty much like new. Questions? Contact me. Please. I want to sell these items, so I can buy more textbooks
