Black tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, 42R
Description
I lost my black Calvin Klein tuxedo jacket yesterday around 3pm near the Shaw Center for the Arts on Lafayette Street in downtown Baton Rouge. It's a wool-blend tux with satin lapels, size 42R, in good condition overall but with a small snag on the left sleeve near the elbow and a faint coffee stain on the inner lining. Inside the left pocket there's a tiny gold monogram 'PP' and a silver tie clip tucked into the pocket. This jacket is sentimental to me — it was a gift from my grandfather and I wore it for my sister's wedding last year, so I really need to get it back if anyone finds it.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
