A sighting of the ca. 2017 Teba on the EP page proper, and another SF affiliate's insta posting of the Camoshita principal in a gobsmack tonal brown getup
Reminds me of my Dragoni cotton suit that delivered Spring 2017 in a brown Mike simply dubbed walnut for the fabled Dragoni cotton run. You could opt for a Teba or sport coat top. Opted suit. Arrived just after I rotated back from a deployment, and took the sportcoat's not fitting me as a symptom of my swift reintroduction to IPAs and Beddia pie.
Now that I've long~ish been back to my fighting weight, so to speak, I admit the SC is just plain not fitting me (in my confirmed EP sport coat size) - I think the very slightly shorter overall length of the jacket raised the button point where it has to contend w/ my ribs (I lean a bit barrel chested). There's enough cloth along the back center seam to let it out a touch, but w/ cotton the original stitching and lines will show after tailoring - so rather than let that happen, to the aftermarket it goes. Yes, it's taken me almost two years to begrudgingly let this go.
Dartmouth-close equivalent specs and fit in 45L. Measurements coming in at ~19" shoulder, ~22.5" p2p, and ~29.5" bottom collar to bottom jacket. Welt breast pocket, patch pockets at hip, side vents at back. Matching trousers are Walt Porto fit in 36 (the Porto comes in slightly slimmer in the legs than the usual Walt). Worn only a couple of times for fit - and closet kit otherwise.
The suit ran for $550 - which was insane for the quality (check out the stitching) and fabric. I'll let go on B-S-T for $275. I'm of a mind to keep the trousers, so if you have an offer on just the jacket - let me know. I'll park here until I've got enough unwinds gathered up for a Luxeswap run.
Here's hoping @Epaulet finds more cloth like this again.
