Real Kiton or not, & what size?

[rnoldh]

Hi, here is a potentially nice Kiton.

But the seller seems lost.

She has it listed as a "Size 54!", but measures the chest as 44", which would be too small even for an American size 44!

It also doesn't have the signature Kiton lining. But it appears relatively new and still has basted shoulders!

She says there's an inner tag that says,"Bolla n. 452377...Cliente 10364...Mod/art D18521 127411...Colo ...TG. 54 64"

Anyone understand that?

Here's the coat:

What does anyone think of the authenticity and the size of this Kiton?

Looks more like a 42R and on the short side of R. No idea about authenticity, but if it were real do you think it'd be starting at $39.99 as NWT Kiton?

That doesn't look like any ladies coat I've ever seen.

99% it is ladies. That is the lining they generally use for Kiton Donna.

Check out on what side the front buttons are, that will tell you for sure if its a ladies or mans garment. Ladies left, mans right.

Auction has ended. No bids.

Wouldn't 54 be huge size in woman's?

A quick Photoshop adjustment (below) of the seller's image supports blauiman's remark. This is a lady's jacket; note the reversed lapel overlap. Additionally, a check of Mrs. FC's Kiton wardrobe confirms the chevron/herringbone weave Bemberg in the auction images as being the same as the lining of the Mrs. FC's Kiton jackets.

This jacket may be an orphaned jacket from a Kiton lady's suit. The size 54 roughly equates to an American 12 or 14. Not exactly petite.

I almost wanted to buy it just because it was 30 bucks.
