So when I was in NY I found an Isaia Gianluca orphan or SC that I purchased and wear as an SC. I found it at Ina so its a used jacket but seemed to be in stellar condition. Its a heavy wool Grey chalk stripe 3/2 roll with ticket pocket, horn buttons, working button holes etc.
This was in my pre-SF days and I didn't look closely enough at the jacket. The sleeves are too short and I figured I could lengthen then but upon closer inspection it seems as though there has been some wear around the cuff which could leave a slightly visible line if the jacket was altered.
I love the jacket, its far and away the nicest piece of clothing I own. IMO it fits perfect everywhere else (I have a slight button pull in the pic due to having just eaten dinner). Whats a poor, young man to do? Wear it short, lengthen it or try to get out and get my money back?
I hesitate to sell it because I love it so...
Don't be too harsh on the fit please, I am a newbie
