Most stuff labeled Vicuna is actually alpaca(sort of a domesticated version of vicuna) These animals live in the cold dry Andes and have adapted to the dry climate and have no lanolin in their wool. Good for people allergic to wool but I wouldn't wear them in the rain or wet conditions.

And btw, spending even 10 hrs hanging around thrift stores (say a $10k loss in pay) to buy some used coat is just crazy.

$1k/hr? Nice job

Or

trolls be trollin'.

Back to OP: Vintage Nutter can be very desirable. On the other hand, few need or even want a heavy long coat. Currently there are Nutter suits on ebay for about 800 USD. Put the coat up with a high buy it now price and a 'best offer' option and sew what happens. But do it now, because we're in the high season for such items.

I am DR CHARLES PIEDO, the director in charge of inventory and accounting section of international clothing store of Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due respect and regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will I hope be very beneficial to you at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and audting in this store, my department came across a very lovely double breasted vicuna overcoat in charcoal grey. This was made by Tommy Nutter in 1974 and is numbered as the 963rd item sold by him. This coat was ordered by a gentleman who died on November 1997 in a plane crash before it could be delivered. The item has been dormant in our store without any claim to ownership by his estate before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful during the time of execution. As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with foriegn fashion designer here in Lome-Togo. It is him who recommended your forum to me as being stylish and capable to wear a man's coat of such magnitude without any problem.

Truth told, I am not necessarily looking to sell it to someone on this forum, just for an idea as to how I might sell it for a realistic value. I am not making anything from this either. I will not fail to inform you that such transaction is 100% risk free. All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.

Yours faithfully,
Dr CHARLES PIEDO

Hello and apologies for the rude arrival.

A relative who has fallen on hard times has asked me to help them sell the above item.
It is a double breasted, vicuna overcoat in charcoal grey.

This was made for my cousin by Tommy in 1974 and is numbered as the 964th item sold by him.
