This is something of an oddity! It was certainly made by Gieves & Hawkes, but I'm not convinced that it was actually bespoke, since it lacks a client name and is also tagged a 42R on the original interior G&H tag. perhaps "Bespoke" was a rather misleading name for one of G&H's MTM or OTR lines of clothing?
In any case, this is a very nice jacket indeed, with a versatile colourway (pearl grey, with a subtle overcheck of blue and chestnut) and a very nicely textured hand--as one would expect, since it is cut from cloth that is a blend of silk (70) and wool (30)... and so has all of the identifying small nubs and pulls that is typical for this blend! it is half-canvassed, fully lined, and has a single center vent. It was Union Made in the USA.
Asking just $45 > 40, or offer, shipped in CONUS.
