Not much to say about this as almost any serious DH collector knows it and wants it. But only a single digit number will ever be able to actually own it. You can be one of them! This one is priced to sell! If you have been following the very rare auctions for these, you will know that in the few auction style listings that were happenign for these jackets the past few years, this jacket constantly reached prices higher than my buy it now price. Store price was even higher and only around 20 pieces were produced. New with tags, this his jacket is made from a luxurious and very thick cashmere-wool mix. Numerous details like gold embroidery pastels, genuine horse hair accents. Lots of zippers. Comes with all four straps, too. Look at the pictures! A genuine collectors piece.Radical Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme cut only seen during his first few years at DH and subdued much in the later collection. Million special design cues like DIOR HOMME marked  zippers, snap buttons, cool breast pockets, epauletes, signature slim Dior Homme cut with highly positioned arm holes for the signature Dior by Slimane look, instantly recognizable Dior special shoulder seams, special darts on the back area. A true special design that has already become a piece of fashion history even more so now that Hedi has left Dior Homme.This jacket is part of the permanent wardrobe of Hedi's biggest fan and supporter Karl Lagerfeld. There actually were some pics in Lagerfeld's famous photography exhibition here in Berlin, Germany, last year called ONE MAN SHOWN with Brad Kroenig wearing this jacket. Also, this jacket was shown in the movie LAGERFELD CONFIDENTIAL when they went through Karls extensive wardrobe.This jacket is also featured in Hedi's fashion diary (b/w pictures courtesy of this diary).. Item code: 3HH1041153. Marked a size 52EU = 42US but runs quite more like a EU 48 of the current years designs. I personally wear a size 48 in Dior Homme suits and that one fits me perfect.  I can send you pics with me wearing this jacket and a size 48 DH suit if you don't believe.  PAYMENT OPTION & TERMS:Wire bank transfer to my USD account in NYC, USA or to my EUR account in Germany. USPS domestic money orders or certified/cashiers checks (need time to clear checks and all other money orders than USPS domestic).Paypal is also possible but acceptance is subject to certain conditions. It also is only accepted from verified buyers with confirmed shipping addresses and/or a credible long time ebay feedback history. Due to hightened security problems at Paypal, I reserve the right to accept and refuse Paypal on a case-by-case basis on my sole discretion and depending on the aforementioned factors. So please do ask before you bid if your only payment option is Paypal. Anyways, I think I offer a lot of very attractive other payment methods which a lot of buyer have used before. And I have a long time, 100%  seller feedback on eBay selling only Dior Homme. Payment is due to be sent immediately after auction end. Don't bid if you cannot pay. SHIPPING TERMS: Item will be shipped from Germany. I will work with the buyer on the different shipping and payment options etc. Let me know if you have any questions.This jacket is very heavy and bulky so shipping unfortunately is rather high. Shipping by surface mail anywhere in the world if you do not pay by paypal: USD 50. Shipping by airmail anywhere in the world if you do not pay by paypal: USD 85. Shipping anywhere in the world if you do pay by paypal: USD 150 (includes airmail). The reason for this is that I ship from Germany and the standard German postal service (USD 50/85) does not meet the requirements of the Paypal rules so I need to use a different shipping service which is a lot more expensive . Full insurance available for addtl. 200 USD. Buyer assumes all risk of loss and/or damage after I gave the item to the mail service. Buyer agrees that he will not make a claim for non receipt with Ebay, Paypal or anybody else if I show him written proof of item shipped to him. In case of loss and/or damage I will however return any insurance paid to me by the shipper to the buyer. Payment is due immediately after auction end. Don't bid if you cannot pay  AUTHENTICITY STATEMENT: I am not a dealer, I am only very much into fashion and an extreme fan/addict of Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane and as such a collector of his beautiful fashion/couture items. I, therefore, buy and sell only for and from my private collection. I often buy Dior Homme items for the mere joy of owning these works of fashion art or out of a buyers impulse. So often my items are not used and  sometimes they are hardly used and sometimes they are used more. This is always clearly described in the auction listing.  What applies to all my listings, however, is that all my Dior Homme items are 100% authentic Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane. This is backed by a 200% money back guarantee. Back a year ago it was not necessary to explicitly guarantee that because there were hardly any Dior Homme fakes to be found. This,unfortunately, has changed a lot recently with multiple spam listings of fake DH t-shirts, sweaters and jeans from Hongkong/China appearing on Ebay.  I sold quite a few  Dior Homme items from my collection and only had happy buyers, most of them being die-hard Dior Homme addicts like me who, like me, would never even think of even touching a fake DH piece. My feedback rating speaks by itself, so bid with confidence and feel free to ask whatever you want to know about the item's condition. Please see those two very educating Ebay Guides on how to avoid buying fake Dior Homme items on Ebay:http://reviews.ebay.com/Dior-Homme-fakes-How-to-avoid-buying-DH-fakes-on-Ebay_W0QQugidZ10000000002352312http://reviews.ebay.com/Sellers-of-fake-Dior-Homme_W0QQugidZ10000000002357491  Place a Bid!
