This is a lovely bold little number, probably suit Oliver with his west coast vibe and lifestyle.

I think it is a lovely piece, would look great with some grey flannels, loafers and a plain oxford. Too big in the body for me, otherwise I would be tempted. That and the fact I am skint?

Yeah. That madras is beyond cool. You need that man.
Somehow, it'll be mine.
I normally wouldn't have posted that link, but for the price I'm not too worried.
Ah who am I kidding - don't know who's lurking around and reading these forums so edited nonetheless!
Well that was fast - the jacket's all mine! hahaha
I know it's still insanely high, but I negotiated them down to $250 and turns out I know the seller (bought a Pendleton robe from her last year) so she was happy to work with me. Probably could've gotten it down even lower but it's worth every penny!
Now I WANT to post a photo to show off, but the listing's been taken down. Oh well... you'll see it in the ILSFT thread soon!
I guess it's time to move the 3 dead stock 39S madras jackets I've been sitting on.
haha.
Good job Oliver. That thing's right up your alley. I truly admire your flamboyance.
I'm gutted I missed seeing it now. Can someone describe it?
It was.... magnificent, epic, beautiful, momentous, wildly robust in its euphoric madras effervescence.
Yeah, that sounds alright.

That's one fiery pepperammi
I had a watch on that (favorite) but just to watch and admire - it's a cracker, out of my budget haha. Lovely stuff, now go get that Paisley number, you know you want it.
Nice one Oliver. Bold as hell. I can't imagine a better man for it.
