Best Dressed Very Rare $7700 DUNHILL Grey 100% Ultra Soft Lamb Suede Jacket, Elite Details, Made In Italy – 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). DUNHILL ad campaigns and stores could easily be mistaken for TOM FORD and the like (see reference).
DUNHILL has 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 the elite lines!
This stunning soft suede Harrington is an exquisite 100% lamb suede that may be the softest I’ve ever felt, and I’ve tried all the elite versions out there! It seems to have a longer nap which contributes to this. I’d easily put this up against my favorite TOM FORD, which goes for the same retail price.
I absolutely love the hardware, gleaming branded double zips, tonal melange knit collar and waist, inner pocket, 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 JMM founder Jérôme Mage said it best…
