Stunning Marc Jacobs Mainline Blazer + more swagger inside

[Angmar]

Marc Jacobs Collection Basketweave Blazer, Made in Italy

Size 46, fits a 48

This blazer is about six months old, but very well taken care of. It is from Marc Jacob's signature collection, so the construction and material is superb. The wool is virgin wool and is ridiculously soft, but also very light, making this jacket a versatile piece for spring (and summer in cold places) as well as in the winter. The basketweave pattern gives it a very "sprezzatura" feel, not too formal and not too casual. Full silk-line interior with a "46" printed on the inside, which is the size of the jacket.

As for the sizing, even though the jacket states itself a 46 on the inside (36 US), it is definitely a more conservative cut, and thus could easily fit a 38 instead. In fact, if you are a 38 I would highly recommend this jacket. The high arm holes also give a slim silhouette. This blazer didn't work for me due to the length, as I am a 36S, and the jacket is around 30in. in length from top to bottom.

Originally retailed for $1400, purchased for $477.

Jay Kos White button-down, Made in Italy

Beautiful Italian white shirt with french cuffs, with an invisible grid pattern. Worn once since purchase. Has a very supple, traditional cut that is similar of Italian shirts. Way too supple for me. Would probably fit a size 40 tucked in. I don't have measurements right now, but I remember off the top of my head the chest being 21.5in. Originally retailed for somewhere along $600. Will provide measurements if anyone is interested.

Lova grey denim jacket - Size small, fits a slim 36 or a 34.

MEASUREMENTS:

18in. chest

16.5-16.75in shoulders

24in. length w/ collar, 23in. below collar

23.5-24in. sleeves (measured from hem to end)

measurements are ~1/4in.

Really great jacket, just a tad too small for me as Lova fits smaller than TTS. Everytime I've worn it I've received tons of complements. The denim has a nice worn look, but is in perfect condition. Those with giant biceps should not apply here; armholes are high, sleeves very small. Retails for $160, if you can find it. This jacket's palette was very popular thus I've only ever seen the grey version available online.

Marc Jacobs Collection Boat-neck Tee, Made in Italy - Size XS

Another piece from Marc Jacobs' signature collection. Really great T-shirt, the color is fantastic and the boat-neck cut is really unique. Modestly slim, more like a small, around a size 36. Has a nice long hem to layer with if desired. Cotton is amazingly soft and thin, drapes on the body quite nicely. Too flamboyant for me, however. Originally retailed for $280.
