A beautiful, $2195 Thom Browne for Brooks Brothers Black Fleece sport coat. Cut from a dense Scottish wool in a navy, green, and red tartan plaid.
In excellent pre-owned condition. The asking price is high because I love this piece - it’s a make-me-move price.
The tagged size is BB2 (this translates to about a 40R US) but, being a piece of Playing with Proportion, this fits and measures closer to a 38R. The following measurements were taken using Ask Andy’s guide:
Underarm to underarm: 20"
Waist: 18.5"
Sleeve: 23.75"
Shoulder: 17.85"
Length from the top of the collar: 28.75"
Length from the bottom of the collar: 27.25"
Half-canvassed, true three-roll-two button front (the top button rolls hidden), soft natural shoulder, notched lapels, double vent, four functional surgeon's cuff buttons, flapped pockets with ticket pocket, striped cotton body lining with cupro sleeve lining.
Playing with Proportion
In Thom Browne’s three-fit philosophy - Directional, Playing with Proportion, and Tailored - this model falls in the middle. “Playing with Proportion” retains Browne’s signature shortened length and close fit, but with slightly softened shaping through the chest and shoulder. The result balances Browne’s avant-garde sensibility with the structure and wearability of classic American tailoring.
