I -- LOVE -- THIS -- COAT...
...but it's too roomy on me.
I did find a tailor in my area who is confident about taking a few of these in for me but I'm going to offer them here first to someone who may be the wearer they were intended for. If no soap, I'll take it as a sign...
$65.00 to the TFL crowd, shipped in the 'States.
Three-button, lapels roll nicely to the second. Wonderful 'root beer and bronze' color scheme in Cashmere. Substantial but lightweight enough for Spring or Fall wear. Unsure of age but feels to me like the quality of a bygone era. Great lining job too in the body and the sleeves. No flaws.
{You may notice some slightly dark areas on the garment - this was due to me hitting it lightly with steam to drop a couple creases out of it. I couldn't see the dampening by eye but the camera picked up on it. It dried out, of course, and there is no unevenness in the pattern.}
Size 42?
Shoulder to shoulder seam: 19"
Overall length: 33"
Chest: 42"
Sleeve (shoulder seam to cuff): 25"
