$57 HANDMADE in Denmark Langrock tweed coat; $35 BEAUTIFUL Harris Tweed!

1) BEAUTIFUL and HEAVY Dunn & Co. Harris Tweed Canvassed

SOLD



This is gorgeous--my pictures come nowhere close to doing the tweed of this jacket justice, but please do click through the thumbnails for my attempts--and would most definitely NOT be here if it were just 1" longer...

This is a wonderful, wonderful complex tweed, with turquoise, moss green, chestnut brown, dark brown, cream and fawn in a wonderful, subtle pattern. This is absolutely terrific, and my pictures come nowhere close to doing it justice--hence the flash and non-flash pictures, in an attempt to show how lovely it is! It's also very heavy--this is Harris as it used to be, and, alas, is no longer, except for the very rare non-Haggas cloth produced by independent weavers.

It appears to be half-canvassed, is fully lined, and has a single vent. It's a classic sack cut with a three button front. It's also in absolutely superb condition--which is becoming rare for Dunn Harris Tweeds, since they're becoming fewer....

As with all Dunns, I believe that this is Made in England.

Tagged a 42R, but, as always, please see measurements:

Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+2)
Length: 30
Shoulder: 18 1/2




2) HANDMADE Langrock of Princeton overcoat.

Originally posted here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...84&postcount=1

This is simply gorgeous. Handmade in Denmark for the classic and now-defunct Langrock of Princeton, this coat even comes with its original swatch of material in case a repair is ever needed.

This beautiful coat is full canvassed and fully lined. It has a hook vent, leather-covered buttons, and the buttoned sleeve cinchers are fully fuctional. It does have two minor flaws, in that there are the starts of very minor frays on the ends of each cuff (1/4" on one, and c.1" on the other), but these are easily repaired and are utterly unnoticeable unless you're really looking for them. Otherwise, this coat is in absolutely excellent condition.

Asking $80 > 65 > 61 > 57 or offer, boxed, shipped in CONUS. Yes, LESS than you'd pay for a similar fused coat from JAB!

Measurements:

Chest: 22 1/2"
Sleeve (raglan, so measured under armpit to cuff): 16" (+ 3 1/2")
Shoulder: Raglan, so NA.
Length (BOC): 42




8) Classic Harris Tweed by Wallach's Canvassed

This is a lovely classic dark brown herringbone Harris Tweed shot through with vertical lines of blue, and flecked with occasional threads of green and red. (The colourway is much richer than my pictures show!) Made in the USA for the now-defunct trad. store Wallach's, this is half-lined and half-canvassed with a single vent. This jacket needs a good press as it's rumpled from storage, and so is currently only in Very Good condition. But a press will bring it up to Excellent condition--and you'll press and dry-clean a jacket like this when you receive it anyway, right?

Given it needs a press, asking just $40 > 38 > 35, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 22
Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+3)
Shoulder: 18 5/8
Length: 29 1/2








3) Lovely Harris Tweed coat

SOLD

Originally posted here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...84&postcount=1

This is a lovely coat, but was always just too short for me... Made in a lovely dark moss-green herringbone Harris Tweed (my pictures don't come close to doing this coat justice--the colour is wonderful), this coat has lapped seams, and is half-lined. It also seems to be fully canvassed. That this coat has these details is very surprising, as it was made for Penney's--albeit back when even Penney's sold proper clothes!

It does have minor flaws: There is some stitching loose under the arm in the lining, one of the sleeve buttons is missing, and the sleeve and front buttons do not match. There's also a very small snag on the underside of the right sleeve, which could be ignored as it's not noticeable, or else an easy repair. With around $25 of fixing, then, this would be a terrific Harris Tweed coat!

Measurements:

Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: (under the arm from pit to cuff; raglan sleeve) 15 3/4 (+2)
Shoulder: Raglan, so NA
Length: 38 1/2




4) Simon's of Copley Square, Boston nailhead tweed with patch pockets Canvassed

SOLD

This is a lovely jacket, from the very trad. store Simon's of Copley Place, just by Trinity Church with all of its wonderful stained glass and impressive organ. (Free concerts on Fridays, by the way! )

This is a beautiful cut nailhead tweed. Half-canvassed and fully lined, this has a single vent, lovely complementary buttons, and patch pockets. It's darted--beward trad. purists!--but they're very subtle and blend neatly into the tweed. This is in excellent condition.

Measurements:

Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 24 (+2 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 29 1/2




5) Scottish Tweed from Camelot Classics University Store! Canvassed

SOLD

You don't get jackets with many more Ivy credentials than a jacket from the Camelot Classics line from the University Store of Washington, D.C., made from Scottish tweed!

This is a lovely jacket in dark charcoal herringbone with a thin chestnut stripe woven through it. It's half-canvassed and half-lined with lapped seams on the shoulders and down the back, and a hook vent. It has a three-button front (not a miss-pressed 3/2), and a sack cut with a very natural shoulder, as well as two-button cuffs. This is a very nice jacket! It does need a good press as it's rumpled from storage, and so it's currently in Very Good condition only, but with this done it would easily be in (conservatively) Very Good/Excellent condition.

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 24 1/3 (+1 3/4)
Length: 29
Shoulder: 17 1/2




6) Scottish camelhair from Raquet Club's Natural Shoulder line Canvassed

SOLD

This is a lovely jacket from Raquet Club's Contemporary Natural Shoulder collection. It's a beautiful dark dove grey Scottish camelhair with patch pockets, which was Made in the USA. It's darted, alas for purists, but is fully lined and half-canvassed. It has a single vent. It's in excellent condition, except that it's missing one of the leather covered buttons on the left sleeve. However, since these were originally four button cuffs this would be a very, very easy fix; just remove the top button from the right sleeve, and move the top button on the left sleeve down, making them matching three button cuffs!

Given the overall excellent condition of this jacket, that it's made from Scottish camelhair, and recognising this minor flaw, I'm asking SOLD, or offer!

Measurements:

20 3/4
Sleeve: 26 (+2 1/8)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 31 3/4




7) LOVELY smaller houndstooth 3/2 sack by HSM/Racquet Club Canvassed

SOLD

This is wonderful--I've been looking for a tweed just like this for ages, but this is just far too small..

This is a classic 3/2 sack with a beautiful lapel roll. It's also a terrific houndstooth tweed, in mainly shades of bark, moss green, chestnut... It's half-lined, half-canvassed, has classic two-button cuffs, a lapped back seam, and a hook vent. It does, however, have some minor lining issue; there's a repairable tear by the bottom, loose stitching along one seam, and the lining has been reattached to the bottom hem at some point. The tear is really the only thing that needs to be addressed, and this could be readily patched. The tweed itself is in excellent condition. But, given these issues, I would rate this as just Very Good overall condition, and so


Measurements:

Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 24 (+2 1/2)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 29





9) Classic Ivy/Trad tweed! 3/2 sack with all the trad. desiderata! Canvassed

SOLD

This is a terrific, classic trad/Ivy jacket! It's a 3/2 sack with a beautiful lapel roll, it's fully canvassed and fully lined, it has lapped seams, patch pockets, and two button cuffs. The tweed is a terrific mixture of classic herringbone alternating with nailhead, which, despite being very subtle, gives it a lot of texture and character. It's also shot through with subtle grey striping. This is a terrific jacket, and so it will come as no surprise to those who remember that Jos. A. Bank used to be a serious rival to Press and Brooks that this is from the JAB Premier collection, when their clothes were excellent and Made in the USA.

This jacket does have three lining marks, as shown; one small water mark, a larger water mark, and an odd brown mark that seems to be coffee (!). These, of course, and all unnoticeable when the jacket is worn, but they are there. Apart from these marks, the jacket is in absolutely excellent condition; with them, it's just in Very Good condition, and hence
