Ermenegildo Zegna “Su Misura” charcoal herringbone overcoat, IT 48, very rare vintage

A rare sartorial Zegna overcoat Rich sartorial details with a very practical performance fabric I want to pass it on because not using it as often Zegna “Su Misura” line: In spite of its name, this old made-to-mesure line is built from existing patterns adjusted to fit, rather than fully bespoke. Sizing would be easier than vintage bespoke items. Fabric: Zegna “Traveller Micronsphere” pure wool “Microsphere” is a technical finish for wrinkle resistance, showerproof and dirt resistance The fabric is worsted, not woollen, with a substantial midweight hand rather than a flimsy feel The color is deep charcoal, almost black, with a subtle herringbone pattern Fully lined in cupro The tailoring: Very enjoyable sartorial waist shaping. A coat of Daniel Craig for reference Full canvas construction, making the front panels hang very cleanly 3-button front, but you can roll it like a 3-roll-2 The lapel stitching is intense, you can feel needle points on the underside Working buttonholes Structured shoulders, sharp and clean (personally I like wearing the collar popped or folded back slightly to soften the shoulder line) Details: Flapped front pockets Large front buttons and slightly roomier sleeves, corresponding to the overcoat style One extra inner big pocket Back vent with a hidden button closure Styling: Great for sartorial outfits or as a commuting workhorse The coat gives a serious and authoritative presence Condition: very good Fabric intact, virtually no signs of wear Fit: IT 48 tag, feels like IT 48-50 Shoulders may extend slightly than a typical IT 48 Due to the shaped waist and working buttonholes, please refer to waist and sleeve measurements Measurements in cm, laid flat: Shoulders: 47 Chest, pit to pit: 54 Waist: 51 Sleeve: 66 Length from base of collar: 101, falls slightly above the knee or onto mid-knee Tags: zegna, ermenegildo zegna, su misura, sartorial coat, charcoal coat, herringbone coat, full canvas, cupro lining, italian tailoring
