NOW ON EBAY, AT LOW, LOW STARTING PRICES!

Everything is NEW, WITH TAGS and in pristine condition.


Gentlemen, start your engines!

No Purple Label this time... but instead I have two stunning Black Label suits. And following several requests, a killer pair of overcoats. In particular, if you're a smaller guy who's struggled to find a slim, fitted overcoat, I have the perfect coat for you.

Read on, Macduff...



1) 36R/38R Ralph Lauren Black Label black topcoat - $1125 now on eBay, starting at just $599

Retails for up to $3000.



This is an exceptional topcoat from Ralph Lauren's slim-cut Black Label line. The fitted, tailored cut will flatter those with slimmer physiques - all you guys complaining that most coats never fit right and make you look like you're wearing a badly-fitting poncho... this is THE coat for you.



57% wool, 30% angora, 10% cashmere, 3% spandex.

Measurements -

tagged 38R
chest: 39.5"
shoulder seam-shoulder seam: 17"
crown-cuff: 25.25 (+1.25")
length: 41.5"

This topcoat is tagged 38R but I would call it a 36R. If you intend wearing it over a shirt and sweater only, then a 38R would fit into it (I could wear it on that basis, for instance, and I take 38 in RLPL suits). If you intend wearing it over a jacket, my strong recommendation would be to treat it as a 36R.



2) 42R Ralph Lauren Black Label suit anthracite grey glen plaid suit - $699 now on eBay, starting at just $499

Retails for well over $2000



A perfect charcoal-grey glen plaid suit. Great for business, elegant enough for a night out.

98% wool
2% cashmere

Jacket -



tagged 42R
single breasted
peak lapels
2 buttons
2 vents
2 flap pockets & standard welted breast pocket
3 inside pockets, one with button closure
4 sleeve buttons (non-functional, but lining is ready for them to be made functional once the length is adjusted to be 100% perfect for you)

Measurements -

chest circumference: 45.5"
shoulder seam-shoulder seam: 19.25"
crown-cuff: 25.5" (could be let down another 1")
length from base of collar: 30.5"

Trousers -



drop 7 from jacket
2 hook, button and zip fly closure
side adjusters
flat front
2 back pockets, with button closure
2 standard side pockets
full unhemmed length to guarantee a perfect break

Measurements -

internal waist: 35.5" (+1.5")
cuff diameter at 34" inside leg: 8.75"
full unhemmed length



3) 42R Ralph Lauren Polo 100% cashmere navy overcoat - $1250 now on eBay, starting at just $599

Retails for around $2500k



A gorgeous pure cashmere deepest navy overcoat from Polo's Made in Italy (by Corneliani) line. Soft as butter, yet durable and heavy enough to cope with truly cold weather.



Measurements -

tagged 42R
shoulder seam-shoulder seam: 19.75"
chest circumference: 47"
crown-cuff: 26.75" (+1.25")
length from base of collar: 44"



4) 44R Ralph Lauren Black Label suit anthracite grey glen plaid suit - $699 now on eBay, starting at just $499

Retails for well over $2000



A perfect charcoal-grey glen plaid suit. Great for business, elegant enough for a night out.

98% wool
2% cashmere

Jacket -



tagged 44R
single breasted
peak lapels
2 buttons
2 vents
2 flap pockets & standard welted breast pocket
3 inside pockets, one with button closure
4 sleeve buttons (non-functional, but lining is ready for them to be made functional once the length is adjusted to be 100% perfect for you)

Measurements -

chest circumference: 47"
shoulder seam-shoulder seam: 19.5"
crown-cuff: 25.75" (could be let down another 1")
length from base of collar: 31"

Trousers -

2 back pockets, with button closure
2 standard side pockets
full unhemmed length to guarantee a perfect break

Measurements -

full unhemmed length



Shipping on the suits is $50 worldwide inc. insurance, online tracking. $25 within the UK. Shipping on the overcoats will be $75 worldwide (again with insurance & tracking) and $30 within the UK. These are heavy items and cost me extra to ship; my apologies.

PM me with any questions, and with your choices. Enjoy!

EVERYTHING NOW ON EBAY!!!

Answering a query in the open, since I suspect it may be a recurring theme. Yes, the measurement of 17" is correct.

As the pics show, the coat does have some roping either side which is not included in the above measurement. If you were to include that, the total measurement is about 18", maybe a touch over.

As well as the measurement, my best advice would be that as I said, I'm a 38 in RLPL and this coat fits me well enough if I don't wear a jacket. With a jacket, it's too tight and in that instance is better suited to a 36 in my opinion. Great for all you slimmer, slightly shorter guys out there!

Thanks!

The cut of the topcoat is fab and the angora/wool/cashmere blend is quality. But I really love the soft 100% cashmere of the Polo overcoat. One could sleep in it.

Fantastic overcoat but I was hoping for a charcoal rather than a black.

Is the black topcoat more of a 'true black' or a charcoal?

I know you're after a charcoal, but I'm afraid it is indeed black.

Under very bright winter sun, I guess it might appear a little charcoal, but I would call it a true & well-saturated black. Very stylish and striking IMO, and should do well on eBay (as should all these items I think, which is why I'm not too worried about them not selling here first) but I know it's probably not quite what you're after this time. Sorry.

No sales yet despite PM interest - I think too many of you are getting wise to waiting for them to go onto eBay!

For those waiting, they will go on the Bay tomorrow. If anyone wants to avoid a bidding war and buy beforehand, let me know.

Midweek bump.

By the way, I'll be looking for more stock towards the end of the week. I might be able to snag some Canali items as well as the Ralph Lauren Black and Purple label items. Will have to wait and see.

If I've already got your sizes and item requests, don't worry, I'll keep a look out for them - no need to PM me again!
