Classic Chesterfield.

The sixth Earl of Chesterfield has two claims to immortality, which is more than most of us can hope for.

There’s the posh tufted sofa that bears his name. And as if that weren’t enough, this distinguished coat.

All the essentials are here. The clean placket front and trim lines.

The angled chest pocket for your gloves. The real fur collar above the notched lapels (detachable for cleaning, originally, in the days when gents dressed their long hair with macassar oil).

You are going to look like Rex Harrison’s taller, handsomer brother.

The Chesterfield Coat (No. 7072), named after the Regency stylesetter who favored it. The fabric is tightly-woven Italian houndstooth virgin wool from esteemed 100-year-old Mill Bacci Fratelli. Great drape and flow. Remarkable stuff. Italian cotton viscose half-lining, with full complement of pockets including welt handwarmer pockets and flap waist pockets. Back vent. Belted back. Genuine horn buttons. Made in Portugal.
