Yeah thats a pretty old label. I usually pass on that stuff unless it's in a cool pattern or fabric.

If you want find one label RTW look for older Richard James, Kilgour RTW back in 2009 every other thing they have is one button, it won’t be a relax fit though (but not yet skinny skinnny era). Phineas Cole through out time would have one button as well

Most of the Richard James jackets that I saw had super skinny lapels. Not my liking. I like Phineas Cole, but they hard to come by in Europe.
Also I'm not looking for something like "contemporary slim suit" classic fit with a bit waist supression ( drop 7 or in a best case 8 ) is okay if the shoulders is not super build up.
And all this italian manufacturers have quite diverse fits, for example my best fitting suit is old St Andrews and most of the others St Andrews with the same label wich I found were dreadful.
Maybe I will wait until the price of this Corneliani will drop to the price of one cup of coffee.

one button peak lapel ring jacket, probably too small for you though, good for monotone type of look


not one button but also peak lapel


4x1 DB ring jacket

patterned velvet?

edit: 1 button peak lapel, think it's not Cifonelli RTW but the Cifonelli for the rake (half canvassed?) clean up a while back?

edit: don't see the for the rake label (or he didn't take picture) so might be his regular RTW

my hunch is this would be too long for me but someone should be able to work these (though lots of husband paris pants are by default without back pocket which is kind annoying...)



edit: unrelated but this shirt would work for that era kind of look too

Thanks. I've been looking around for pre-owned Husbands slacks and sportcoats or suits, and eagerly clicked on these, but unfortunately, these are a bit too small. Will keep looking.

I don’t know what your size but there are couple on eBay too, then there are two Edward Sexton (which is very different than Husbands Paris in aesthetic) on eBay as well

Found Corneliani jacket with one button but button placement seems quite high or maybe jacket is longer than usual. Also it's old label Corneliani which I never stumbled upon. Anyway its dirty cheap so I may pull the trigger cause one button is rare entities in RTW. Maybe someone seen this label ?
And to answer the obvious question no help from the seller its balkan e-thrift shop.
Weird, I just picked up this same jacket at goodwill for $25. Not sure if I'll wear it tbh. Also got an Armani (Collectzion) 4 button that I don't really know what to do with and will probably re-donate back.

Is it dated like wide shoulders , weird fit, etc ?
