Samuelsohn 3-button sack, 42R (no tagged size--see measurements!)
This sportcoat is a orgeous golden brown houndstooth with what my wife says are deep salmon and turquoise tones in it. It's of medium weight in what I think is a silk-wool blend. I'm pretty sure there is silk in it, but the tag has been removed. Great for spring wear.
This is one that despite my fervent wishes to the contrary will not fit me. Someone ripped out the interior tag, so I don't know as much about it as I'd wish. I estimate it to be a 42R, however there is a fair amount of waist suppression, which gives it a bit of an athletic cut. It doesn't fit 'sacky'. I believe it to be of relatively recent vintage; it is in excellent condition (see below for one 'issue') and originates from a local men's store in Birmingham, AL. It would retail in the $700 range new.
It's not a true fold over 3/2 sack, but if you button only the middle button you'll get a 2 1/2 button effect. It is dartless, however, but as I noted above with good waist suppresion. The only 'issue' I see is on the interior vent area where some of the stitching has come loose. There is no actual damage that I can see, just some loose stitching that could be very easily and quickly remedied by your alterations tailor, or you could ignore it and wear it fine. It is not visible from the exterior.
Measurements:
Chest (underarm to underarm) 23"
Sleeve 24"
Shoulder 19.5"
Length (from bottom of collar to bottom of jacket) 30 3/8"
Asking $35 shipped CONUS, Paypal please.
For those not familiar with Samuelsohn, it is a Canadian maker of the highest order, roughly equivalent to Hickey-Freeman, although I personally prefer Samuelsohn. They also make a lot of suits for Paul Stuart for context. For a discussion of Samuelsohn quality and pictures of a factory tour see this thread.
