DROP - NWT One-Of-A-Kind Hackett, Made In Italy, 40R Grey PoW Suit - $350 Shipped

[MysticAura]

I don't post on B&S often, but when I do I usually come across something incredible.

This is the nicest prince of wales suit I have ever seen. The fabric feels rich and substantial, the pattern is gorgeous and has just the right amount of blue highlight, and it fits slim. Ticket pocket, working buttonholes, and made in Italy only adds icing on the cake. Retail value exceeds well over $1,000 USD.

All tags are attached. More importantly, the tag indicates "Showroom Use Only" leading me to believe this was a one-of-a-kind item. I can't say enough about this suit. PM me with any questions.

Please see the close-up pictures for most accurate color. Prince of Wales is very difficult to photograph due to the lines (lots for the camera lens to take in). The true color - shown in the close-ups of the pants and cuffs - is absolutely striking.

Fused or canvassed?

Believe it is half-canvassed

Found this as well

One believes him when he says that Hackett will not slip into the world of ersatz Englishness when it roams abroad. There will still be the soft suits with their Savile Row 'floating canvas' between cloth and lining, three-inch waistband adjuster and trouser pleats that reach the waistband. Overcoats will still be cut from 30oz cloth (20oz is the norm) and the staff (including 'gels') will still look fresh from the Upper Fifth Remove.

Sleek Spaniards, elegant Italians, streamlined French and squeaky-clean Japanese will see reflected in the mirrors of Hackett's overseas shops an image of the English gentleman they want to be. They will, however, never look like the real, doggy, horsy, leather-on-willow thing; and, if the secret be told, they don't really want to.
