Just noticed a slew of great-looking Eidos outerwear pop up on eBay, and luckily today eBay is running a site-wide 10% off promotion. The code is PICKUPTEN and it lasts until 8am ET Friday.
This camel topcoat is the ultimate expression of the design—no, seriously. Antonio said that it was the first time the coat, called the Palermo, was cut correctly by the factory in its lapel shape. It recalls the swoop of the Lorenzo and Ciro sport coat and suit lapel shapes. I see it in sizes 52/42 (two of them), 48/38 (two of them), 46/36 (also two).
Also there’s this gray peacoat in multiple sizes worth checking out. Size 52/42 (two of them), size 48/38 (two of them), and 46/36 (two of them).
It should be noted, the seller of those two overcoats also has an additional promotion of 10% off 3+ items, in case they’ve got something else for sale you like the look of.
Finally I noticed this charcoal with rust windowpane sportcoat. It’s cut in the Balthazar cut, which was my least favorite Eidos cut, but the pattern I absolutely loved. Size 54R (44R US).
Random side note, I recently picked up a beautiful ancient madder tie from Brooks Brothers on eBay—it was a grail piece I’d been looking for for four years. I wanted it at the time it was for sale but couldn’t justify the cost at the time, and since then have regretted it every fall. I spotted it on eBay and immediately purchased it. But not before realizing the seller is an old Styleforum standby by the name of Steve Smith. He used to post huge mega-threads on the Buying/Selling forum of Styleforum of Brooks Brothers clearance stuff. He is now operating on eBay, it appears, and his prices are killer.
Anyway, check out his store here. Tons of primarily Brooks Brothers, but also occasionally Brooks Brothers-related goods (Thom Browne, Southwick, etc.).
This green ancient madder tie is the exact same one I have, which is the same pattern as the gold one above, for instance. I love it.
