AW 2008 2 BUTTON HANDSTITCHED NAVY WOOL/COTTON JACKET
-- $595 OBO shipped worldwide
The 2 button navy jacket from the aw08 signature handstitched series, the opening looks for the runway presentation. This is the navy iteration which more rare and hard to find than the regular gabardine. The jacket is fully lined but the fabric is not particularly heavy, for me it works best as a spring or fall jacket.
The fabric is a spectacular 64/36 wool-cotton blend, very interesting texture wise as you hopefully can see in the close ups attached below. I've never seen this particular fabric used in any other season. Pattern and construction is top-notch, the shoulders are pretty incrdible being structured and relaxed at the same time. The navy is quite deep, better and ever so slightly darker than in the runway pictures, but not too dark so works well with black, imo, as well as a range of other colors. Long sleeves. Lapels, pockets (4 of them) and shoulders have been handstitched to give a soft 3D like effect. Under all pocket flaps are swatches of the green tartan, not really visible unless folded opened. The handstiching runs all along the lapels around the collar at the back. Center vent in the back.
I purchased this BNWT, have been worn a few times but condition is like new. US retail was ~ $2200.
SIZE 4 but fits very slim in comparison to regular 4's, aw08 had slim cuts in general and perhaps this in particular.
Measurements:
Chest -- 53 cm
Shoulders -- 48 cm
Sleeves -- 70 cm
Length -- 76 cm
Click for bigger pics. Due to a lack of good natural light these appear slightly darker than in person. It's a deeper, more pronounced shade of navy in person. The last two pics at the bottom are most accurate color-wise.
Another old fit pic just to show the jacket worn, and a close up for the color and texture
runway fit 1 (2 jackets overly bulky layering) -- runway fit 2 ("normal" layering)
