NOS 44R Brooks Brothers Sports Coats in Camelhair and "Brookstweed" Shetland tweed As always, all prices include shipping in CONUS with delivery confirmation; International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost. Please PM with interest and offers! NB: I acquired these jackets as "New Old Stock", and the two Camelhairs certainly come with their original (although detached) sleeve tags (shown). However, given my inherent conservatism in grading the jackets that I pass on here, and that I did not collect them directly from the retail store or warehouse that originally held them, I would grade them all as being in Excellent condition, rather than as NOS. OFFER: All three jackets for [color="Red"]SOLD
1) 44R Brooks Brothers Camelhair SC in Gunclub Check. Canvassed. This is a beautiful jacket! It's a lovely gunclub check with a subtle windowpane overlay in pineneedle green and rust orange; the base pattern is mid-brown and chestnut. (As usual, my pictures don't do this jacket anywhere near justice...) It's camelhair, and has a beautiful drape. It's also half-canvassed, fully lined, and has a single center vent. It was made in the USA, comes with its original (detached) sleeve tag, and is almost certainly unworn. It's in excellent condition. Tagged a 44R, and runs true; see measurements: Chest: 23 Sleeve: 24 (+2 7/8) Shoulder: 20 Length: 30 1/2 2) 44R Brooks Brothers Camelhair SC in minihoundstooth. Canvassed Another beautiful jacket, this is a lovely minihoundstooth in black, light charcoal, and light cream. As with the guncheck, above, this is camelhair, Made in the USA, has a beautiful hand and drape, and is fully lined and half-canvassed. It has a center vent, and comes with its original (detached) sleeve tags. Like the gunclub, this is almost certainly unworn, and is in excellent condition. Tagged a 44R, and its measurements are identical to (1), above, except for a slightly smaller tun-down in the sleeve: Chest: 23 Sleeve: 24 (+2 1/2) Shoulder: 20 Length: 30 1/2 3) 44R Brooks Brothers "Brookstweed" Shetland tweed Canvassed This is wonderful, and easily my favourite of the three--but then, I love Brookstweed shetlands--just as hardwearing as Harris and Donegal, but with a lovely drape and hand; basically, the best of both camelhair and tweed. And this one is a beauty; a classic herringbone in predominantly brown shades which are just beautifully natural. This jacket is bound to be someone's favourte for many, many years! My pictures come nowhere close to doing this tweed justice, although the closest is probably the last picture, showing the cuff. It's half-canvassed, fully lined, has a center vent and is Made in the USA. It's in Excellent condition, except for a tiny small scuff mark in the middle of the lining which I found on my third pass over this to check for flaws. Unlike the others, this is lacking its sleeve tags. Measurements: Chest: 22 3/4 Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+2 3/8) Shoulder: 19 1/2 Length: 31
