Two great pieces made by Caruso for Vakko in wool / cashmere blends. Very similar in cut and quality to their work for RLBL, but with softer and more natural shoulders (no roping). Full canvas construction, nice pick stitching, and incredible craftsmanship in their unlined construction. Both sleeves have regular buttons, and so they can be adjusted. Both pieces were bought NWT and very, very lightly worn by me--no more than 5-6 times each.

1. Grey Flannel Suit with Patch Pockets--42R drop 8
Great suit in a lighter-weight grey flannel. 90% wool, 10% cashmere. Very soft and luxurious hand. Unlined construction with soft shoulders. The jacket's patch pockets make it easy to wear alone as a sportcoat. The pants are flat front and have plain hems. The brown / tan horn buttons add some nice contrast.

$450 shipped CONUS

Measurements:

Jacket:
Shoulders--19"
Chest--22.25"
BOC--30.5"

Pants:

Inseam--31.5", with 2.75" to let out



2. Purple and Grey Shepherd's Check Sportcoat--42R
Very cool sportcoat with brown suede elbow patches and collar lining in a great fabric. 85% wool, 10% cashmere, 5% silk; this is heavier in weight and incredibly soft. Unlined construction with very soft shoulders. Flapped patch pockets. The buttons are unusual, in a slivery horn with a single larger button on the sleeves. It's a great jacket that you can wear for work or out in more casual settings.

$375 shipped CONUS
