FYI SFA in NYC had a black vicuna jacket/coat (SFA home label) at 40% off 5G. Only saw it in large.

There is a pure Vicuna topcoat at Hermes by me, truly a beautiful piece. Single one made, and damn its in my size. But its 24,000 bucks. Maybe next X-mas

If you really had a Brioni Vicuna. I really would be interested in looking at it. Considering the rarity of that jacket I highly doubt you really have one and not worn it because its like having a new jag in your closet and never driving it but on the other hand I would like to get more details and see some pics. All Bullshit aside

Yes I really have a pure vicuna Brioni jacket. As unbelievable as it may seem. haha, You are correct about the rarity. The retail was $28k plus tax so I wouldn't consider it a top of the line Jaguar.

I am sort of interested in selling it but not sure whether to put it on eBay or not. Do you feel like an interested buyer? All bullshit aside
I may add a pic or two onto the forum....

wow....A one-of-a kind pure vicuna Hermes topcoat sounds interesting. I bet its very nice.

The salesman at NeimanMarcus was joking with me about the cost of the fabric being over $3g's per yard.. We determined that this jacket costs at least 100 times more being loomed in vicuna versus pure silver.
The current value of a pound of pure Gold is about $14 grand. Two pounds = $28,000. The jacket cost $28,000 and probably weighs about two pounds. Which means this jacket is essentially the same cost as wearing pure gold. Damn..
Gold seems like a much smarter investment.
BUT Brioni vicuna makes my Kiton pure cashmere feel like steel wool.

You'd wear a vicuna sportcoat just like you'd wear a cashmere sportcoat.

And yeah, I think he's trolling.

Let me guess, you have a $28,000 jacket and no $80 digital camera?

You have a snotty little cyber tone there buddy. Maybe you would be happier and perhaps more likeable if you bought my blazer. Oh, let me guess ....No $$$?
