A Kabbaz-Kelly Shirt Jacket: Pure Cashmere with Lambskin Trim
You will earn 47.00 Member Reward Dollars for buying this product.
Created from 10.5 oz. herringbone or 12 oz. solid color Pure Italian Cashmere, our cashmere shirt jacket is a unique, hand-crafted one-of-a kind piece. Trimmed with a complimentary color of lambskin at the undercollar and interior pocket, the shirt jacket is made to last a lifetime.
The "feel" is virtually impossible to describe. Soft as melted butter ... yet quite substantial ... the cashmere's finish emits a subtle radiance. All interior seams are covered with coordinated, hand-folded Swiss cotton. Only natural horn buttons are used ... unless otherwise desired.
What contributes to such a high cost? The cashmere we use costs us $800/yard and the jacket requires between 2.25-2.5 yards of cashmere depending upon size. Hand-folding the cotton seam covers takes four hours. A half dozen buttons at $5-6 per button. And then there are minor things like a few hours cutting and a dozen hours stitching.
Rarely commissioned - we've made only 12 of them - but four of the 12 have been orders for a second color if that gives any indication.
Cinnamon Brown, Tan, Charcoal, and Black solids are always on hand. The availability of herringbones and other solid shades varies year-to-year. At times White, Burgundy, Navy, and Hunter Green exist. If you have a different shade in mind we'll be happy to see if it can be had.
*Gentlemen Please ... A Note from Alexander Kabbaz: The Cinnamon Brown jacket in the photos is mine. Although I have gotten to wear it once or twice, please note where it usually ends up. Don't claim you weren't warned in advance!
