UPDATED WITH NEW AUCTIONS!

The latest items from The Holdfast Collection...
smile.gif


As always, everything is new with tags and in pristine condition. I've consolidated all my other current stock into this thread, too.



1) Small RL Purple Label Peacoat - $550 SOLD

Rare peacoat from Ralph Lauren Purple Label. A classic british-khaki green/brown colour. 90% wool, 10% cashmere melton fabric. If you've been looking for a casual coat that doesn't compromise on quality, here it is. I don't know what the full retail would be, but given that Polo.com has the most basic Polo version listed at $425, then I can confidently say that given usual price differentials, Purple Label would be around $1500.




Style Details

- very classic peacoat design
- 8 buttons total, 4 can be potentially buttoned if you fold over the lapels, otherwise only the usual 3
- slash pockets
- short single rear vent
- quarter-lined; so keeps you warm without adding bulk, plus you can see the neat seam-finishing.

Measurements

- tagged Small, I would estimate it best suited for a typical 38 or slim 40.
- shoulder seam - shoulder seam: 18.5"
- chest circumference: 40
- crown-cuff: 26.5
- length from base of collar: 30.5



2) 38R RL Purple Label tweed sportcoat - $650 SOLD, pending payment

Wonderful tweed sportcoat in a luxurious 75% wool, 25% angora fabric. No need to break the bank on this one - St Andrews tailoring for just $650 (retail would be around 3 times that)! Come get it.



Style Details

- 2 buttons
- notch lapels
- 2 flap pockets
- ticket pocket
- double rear vents
- basted sleeve ends for perfect length

Measurements

- tagged 38R
- shoulder seam - shoulder seam: 18.25"
- chest circumference: 41.5"
- crown-cuff: 24.25" (+1")
- length: 30.5"



3) 40L RL Black Label herringbone jacket NOW ON EBAY, starting at just $299!

Magnificently soft and luxurious herringbone jacket from the modern, slim Black Label line. 90% wool, 10% cashmere. Asking just $550 (about a third of retail value) for this hard-to-find size.




Style Details

- 2 buttons
- peak lapels
- flap pockets
- double rear vents

Measurements

- tagged 40L
- shoulder-shoulder: 19"
- chest circumference: 44"

- trouser waist: 34" (+1.5)
- trouser leg diameter at 34" inside leg: 8.75" (17.5" circumference)


5) 42R RL Black Label anthracite grey glen plaid suit - RELISTED ON EBAY, starting at just $499

See eBay listing for full details

Measurements

- tagged 42R

- trouser waist: 35.5" (+1.5")

6) 38R/40R RL Polo chocolate brown moleskin overcoat - SOLD

The moleskin fabric on this overcoat has a wonderful, rich, thick nap. It would retail for around $1500. The colour is a deep chocolate brown, but in the brightest sunshine a slight autumn red can emerge.




3 buttons
notch lapels
single rear vent
2 flap pockets and standard breast pocket
2 inside pockets

tagged 38R
shoulder seam-shoulder seam: 18.75"
chest circumference: 43.5
crown-cuff: 26" (+1)
length: 43.25"

This coat is tagged 38R, but if you look at the measurements, you'll see that it might suit a 40R better.



7) 42R RLPL charcoal grey chalkstripe DB suit - SOLD

Awesome. If you've yearned for a classic grey flannel chalkstripe DB, this is the one for you. This RLPL, made by St Andrews, is wonderfully styled and constructed. It would retail for over $4000. 95% wool, 5% cashmere. You won't regret this purchase.

I received a couple of PMs asking about the size of the peacoat, so figured I'd repeat my answer here - it's tagged Small. As I posted in the original post, I'd estimate it as a 38, maybe a slim 40 if you like a fitted look. The chest circumference is 40", but I feel that peacoats are meant to fit fairly snugly. Suit/sportcoat jackets tend to have up between 3"-4" difference between the tagged chest size and jacket's measured chest size, if that helps.

For added reference, in the first peacoat pic I'm wearing it and I'm a 38S in RLPL.

I had an eBay query asking about authenticity of the 40L Black Label on eBay. Not sure if it came from a member here or not, but just to confirm - I absolutely 100% guarantee authenticity on all my items.

I added a link to a close-up pic of the tags to the auction, which I reproduce in thumbnail form below:

I wish you had some 36R suits. That Polo Navy stripe suit is a steal.
