Price drop!
Beautiful leather jacket from Valentino, in a really versatile M85 / blazer style.
Leather on this jacket is superb - a beautiful burnished brown lambskin that's super soft and thick. Craftsmanship is equally great, as you would expect from a top-tier designer. Fully lined with viscose, all the cuff buttons are fully operable (not those sewn-shut buttonholes you see on some blazers these days), 3 interior pockets, dual layer outer pockets, heavy-duty M8 Riri zipper, shoulder gussets for easier arm movement.
And a really nice cut to boot - slim but with a bit of room to move. I'm 6' / 155 lbs / slim 48 and when I was living in NYC I would often layer this jacket over a thick sweater in the winter. If you're a a bit beefier it would probably fit more like the store fit-pic (he's wearing it over a thin sweater, looks like). The zipper also gives the jacket some nice structure so you can button just two of the front buttons and still have a very clean slim cut without the jacket pulling at the buttons.
This was the first really high quality leather I ever bought, and I'm kind of sad to be selling it, but my style is moving in another direction and I haven't been wearing it much.
Condition is great.. some light creasing on the arms and a few very light scuffs on the back; no rips / tears / stains. Also, just wanted to note that the light patch on the lower back in the photo is just some sunlight since I took the pictures outdoors for the most accurate representation of the color.
Measurements:
Chest (P2P): 19.5"
Shoulder: 17"
Sleeve length: 26"
Length (shoulder to hem): 28.5"
Elbow width: 5.75"
Cuff width: 5.25"
MSRP was US$2500, selling for$1100 --> $1000 --> $900 shipped in CONUS. International shipping based on quoted rates.
