I Need This Polo RL Coat! Pt. 2

[bigbris1]

No. Seriously tho. What would you pay for this hacking jacket?

 

[edmorel]

me? nothing but if you like it, pay whatever you are comfortable with. I would assume it would fetch around $100-$150 on ebay. Must be casual though as it is sized "XL" rather than a number.

I have the Chester Barrie/RLPL version of the hacking jacket with the exact same details but in cashmere and with heavily roped shoulders. I love it.

I know it's "just" a simple navy blazer, but their new version is really stunning. Wider lapels, soft shoulders, great texture, and fine pick stitching. It looked great when I saw it in person.

It's a tweet sport coat, thus, I can't fathom paying anywhere out of the $100.00 range. The lack of lining is a bit disappointing, figuring that it is supposed to be a cold weather garment.

Very Paul Stuart

The generic sizing would be a deal killer for me. I'll wear casual jackets, but they need to look casual -- that's too sportcoaty.

I bet if you unbottoned that top button, the lapels would peak a little bit wider. All in all, I think it looks pretty nice!

I'd wager that a Polo XL would be in the 44-46 range. Measurements would confirm. There's always the tailor as well...

+1. whats the deal with that? hacking coats are tailored clothing.

i am very anti-RL lately, though

I like these types of jackets, great with jeans, good wear for knock around casual, or, it looks great with dress pants/shirt with/wo a tie, it doesn't show wear/wrinkles as easy as a solid wool jacket.

I seen this type of jacket on sale for approx <150.00>, i wouldn't pay more than 125.00, of course you'll pay with your want/pockets demand.

Notice the leather trim cuffs?

 

[bigbris1]

I don't think mine has leather trim cuffs. My tweed JonesNY coat does have suede linings under the collar, flap pockets, lapel tab, etc. Nice detail.

I suppose a clown or something, question is who would create such an eyesore. The other jacket is quite lovely though, I have something very similar to it.

 

[doctorj!]

I Just bought a grey one off the B&amp;S board for $100 shipped. I also have a black one that I bought for around $150 on clearance. They are both great as they have a light pattern. The black one has a slight sheen so it can be easily dressed up. I am sure that a Polo outlet may have these.

I actually really like this one. The )( shape of the body and the roll of the lapels is perfect IMO.
