Picked this up from the local charity shop where my local Brooks Brothers sends their merchandise that has been removed from stock. This appears to have been altered; presumably either the customer didn't pick it up or wasn't satisfied with the alterations. In any case, there are no visible defects, other than that the label has been cut to ensure you can't return it to the store for a refund. Other than that, it's practically brand-new.
It's a recent-model 1818 Madison sportcoat from the spring '09 season. Wool and silk blend by E. Thomas in a black-and-white houndstooth with a faint blue windowpane. Very nice fabric indeed, and the color scheme makes it pretty versatile, season-wise. Half-canvas construction, like all 1818 jackets.
Tagged size is 46R; I think it has probably been taken in in the sides and fits more like a 44 now. However, presumably the seam allowance is still there and could be let out again. See measurements below for specifics.
Measurements:
Shoulders: 20 3/4"
Chest: 47"
Waist: 42"
Length from bottom of collar: 31 3/4
Sleeves: 25" with about 2" to let out
Original retail was $548; it's currently on clearance for $274; you can have this one for just $100 shipped CONUS. Paypal only. PM me if you're interested.
This one is a little weird; the wind was blowing it around.
