A great piece made by Caruso for Vakko in a heavier weight 85% wool, 10% cashmere, 5% silk fabric. 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 its unlined construction. Sleeves and buttons can be adjusted. The brown suede elbow patches and collar lining, flapped patch pockets and slivery horn buttons make it easy to wear both for work or out in more casual settings.

Was bought NWT and very, very lightly worn by me--no more than 5-6 times.

$250 shipped CONUS

Measurements:
Shoulders--18.75"
Chest--22.5"
Sleeves--26.5"
BOC--29.5"

Let me check the measurement again, as it surprised me too and the jacket doesn't fit short on me.
