Best Dressed Rare $7500 DUNHILL Taupe Calfskin Jacket, Elite Details – Tom Ford, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Zegna, Hermes Aesthetic

DUNHILL is more of an “if you know, you know” brand here in the States and better known in Europe. They were founded all the way back in 1893 and famous for their Motoring Heritage. The secret really should come out here as they are easily on par with revered lines like TOM FORD, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Zegna and Hermes – their prices are in line with all these same brands (see reference). Their ad campaigns and stores could easily be mistaken for TOM FORD and the like (see reference).

DUNHILL have a strong celebrity following including all your favorite Brits like Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Jude Law, Benedict Cumberbatch, Joe Alwyn, Will Poulter, and more.

I’ve been lucky to acquire multiple jackets from them over the years and was blown away by the quality – and that’s saying something as I’ve tried all of these elite lines! This stunning bomber is an exquisite calfskin that looks and feels like some of the nubuck pieces from TOM FORD I’ve owned over the years (nubuck goes for a premium above the normal suede TOM FORD jacket and is more rare!)

I absolutely love the gunmetal branded double zips, tonal melange knit collar and waist, dual inner pockets, and one of the best luxury linings I’ve seen! As you can see the fit is ideal right off the rack.

Selling for a friend and as usual I’m tempted to buy it, but out of room after my fiancee and her daughter moved in. It’s a super rare piece and Jérôme said it best…
