Gieves and Hawkes is among the oldest tailors on Savile Row, still selling high quality for the men who care.

The size tag reads 42UK, made in Italy only for G&H.

The jacket has a strong shoulder, notch lapels, flapped pockets, horn buttons, full canvas structure.

The only sign of wear I find is a spot on the right pocket flap. If the flap is folded inside the pocket, the spot disappears.

The cloth is 75 % wool and 25 % silk. Light and smooth stuff.

Exact measurements: shoulder seam to seam 50 cm, neck seam to cuff end 64 cm, armpit to pit 54 cm, below neck to hem 77 cm.

Similar G&H jackets sell for around 1900 euros new.
