(This is a re-post -- I listed this back when it was too hot to think about moleskin jackets. We are now entering the perfect weather for this jacket, so here it is....)
As I've said before, my uniformly positive experience on Erica's blog has encouraged me to consider giving up pieces of clothing I would have never considered otherwise. This jacket is evidence of that: I am raiding my *precious* (to me) APC "archives" I've been pulling together since becoming a fan of APC in the mid-90s.
This jacket is a couple of years old -- from my "stockpile." I find that things I bought years ago from them often come back into fashion, or, simply, never go out. I love rediscovering something I put away a couple of years ago and that now feels absolutely current, like this biker jacket.
This is a moleskin jacket with asymmetrical zipper detail and velcro stand-up collar that I just love. Two darts in the front and back give it a lovely shape. It is fully lined with an ultra soft fleece-like lining.
Other Details:
Condition: nearly new. No rips, stains, discolorations, etc. I have hardly ever worn it because it is a tad too big for me (the availability of size XS is a relatively new thing for APC.) When I have worn it, often with the top folded over slightly (see photo), I've received many, many compliments about it. The condition is 9/10
Made in France (remember when all APC was still made in France?!)
Measurements:
Shoulder 15" (measured flat)
Sleeve length 23 3/4"
Bust 35"
Waist 17" (measured flat)
Length 21"
Why I'm giving this up: This jacket is so beautiful it is truly a pity that it is not being worn. It is in near-perfect condition and has many years of wear left in it (and not many taken from it.)
Paid: $390
Asking: $145 + $14 shipping. $8 more to Canada. NOW ASKING $125 + $14 shipping, $8 more to Canada (sorry Canada, but postage prices have increased considerably!)
Listing end date: October 31 -- or November 14, leave email in comments!
