Current season Needles Arrow Jacket in a navy/grey mix washed herringbone wool. The fabric looks incredible and has frayed edges. Its quite soft too, not an itchy tweed. Made in Japan.

New with Tags - tried on only, not worn. Purchased via proxy from Secondstage in Japan. No Western stockists have carried this jacket, don't think even Nepenthes NY has had it. I paid over $500 for this bad boy what with proxy/shipping/customs fees.

(http://www.secondstage2008.jp/L-NEEDLES13FW-CUTAWAYARROWJACKET-HB-NAVY.html)

Measurements:
Shoulder to shoulder 18in
Chest 20in
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff) 23in
Back length 27in

I think it would be best on an S / 36-37. A smaller 38 could make it work though. Measurements may look big for an S but you've got to take the cut into account - the shoulders are narrow front to back and have a sloping shape, plus its best worn loose / slouchy (think Yohji). For reference I'm 5'10" 140lb (usually take M in Needles and EG) and this is just a bit too slim on me, so has to go.

Asking $380 Price drop $350 $320 $270 $230 Shipped Anywhere.

Any questions - PM me.

Price drop - $320.

And because the thumbnails seem to load slowly (for me at least) here's another close up of the herringbone:
