A Menswear Grail, Coveted $9,200 w/tax TOM FORD Rare Bovine Leather Tan Jacket, Incredible Details, Made In Italy – Tom Ford, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana Aesthetic

This rare piece was designed by TOM before he sold the company. Tom brought back some of his favorite pieces from his past collections before he left and this was one of them (changing out press studs for the gorgeous horn buttons on the original).

What is truly jaw dropping is this rare Bovine leather, it’s just Godly from the look, feel and patina it develops over time – it just gets better and better (see close up details and texture). I’m lucky to have one of these rare bovine leather TF and it’s worth the premium (these are more expensive than the regular suede, and priced up with the nubuck!)

Selling this for a friend, but I REALLY love it, especially this rare tan colorway with burnt orange undertones. You can see just how incredible it looks on “the David Beckham of Japan”, Hidetoshi Nakata (a longtime TF fan with impeccable taste).

The details Tom is famous for are throughout, including the oversize gleaming branded double zips, the intricate stitching throughout and the logo silhouette on the back of the neck. It’s just a stunning timeless investment piece that will stand out and only improve with age!

GQ said it best: And if money is truly no object, Tom Ford makes holy-grail-level jackets so beautiful they bring a tear to the eye. That’s just what the best jackets for men do. They make you stand a little taller, speak with a little more conviction, and seem altogether more alluring. They are like the pill Bradley Cooper takes in the movie Limitless, only they unlock genuine cool instead of psychotic ambition. Of course, confidence of that magnitude doesn’t come cheap. These jackets will keep you feeling like your very best self for years and years to come.

Mr Tom Ford’s design philosophy is simple: don’t settle for anything less than perfection. And that maxim applies as much to a plain cotton T-shirt as it does a wool barathea tuxedo with all the trimmings. Achieving perfection, of course, is harder than it looks.

“Menswear is a detail-driven business” —Tom Ford

Nothing else fits or feels like Tom Ford.

MY SIZING FOR FIT PIC REFERENCE
I'm 6 feet, 192lbs for fit pic reference. I'm typically a comfortable size 50 EU (40 US) and fitted 48 (38 US). My tailor said I’m a natural 21 inch chest, 18 inch shoulder and 25 inch shoulder-to-wrist for fit pic reference. Per the above, this is oddly a size 58 IT but fits smaller. I’m tempted to buy it and try and tailor it down as it’s so rare. See below for measurements.

MEASUREMENTS
Pit-to-pit: approx 23 inches
Shoulder-to-shoulder: approx 19.75 inches
Shoulder-to-sleeve: 26.5 inches (slight drop shoulder adds length)
Overall length: approx 27 inches from base of collar in front (angles up in back per design).
