Where to start.. This coat is just fantastic. This NWT Cantarelli "New Authentic Vintage" piece is still being sold in retail stores for full price - I was gifted this but it does not fit me.

The fabric has a wonderful hand, and, obviously, simply a superb drape, being a blend of Virgin wool and linen. The jacket is unlined and unstructured - it really is the perfect summer coat. It also has dual rear vents, a very elegant and slim silhouette, and plenty of handwork throughout. It also boasts patch pockets! And its colourway is wonderful.

This jacket was finished so that it appears "vintaged", rather than distressed--a process that (unlike those used by cheaper manufacturers) clearly has not adversely affected the garment at all, but merely achieved the desired look.

The shoulders have no padding and the coat has a fantastic feel. This coat is simply awesome.

Naturally, this jacket was Made in Italy.

Size: 50

Measurements
Pit to pit: 21"
Shoulder to shoulder: 18"
Shoulder to cuff: 25.5 (non-functioning sleeves, can be taken in easily)
BOC to end of coat: 29.5
