Made in the USA by Huntington of a lovely classic herringbone tweed, this jacket is a 3/2 sack with three patch pockets, including a patch chest pocket. It also has a functional throat latch, a full lining, and is half-canvassed. Moreover, it features lapped seams throughout--including on all of the patch pockets! It is, in Flusser-approved fashion, ventless. It's also in excellent condition. Tagged a size "S", the measurements are: Chest: 20 1/2" Sleeve: 21 1/2 (+2 3/4) Shoulder: 17 1/2 Length: 29 2) CLASSIC Brooks Brothers 3/2 sack blazer with three patch pockets! Canvassed SOLD For many, a Brooks 3/2 sack with three patch pockets is something of a Grail, so if this describes you, and if this is your size, now's your chance! This is a lovely, classic, 3/2 sack blazer by Brooks, with three patch pockets, including a patch chest pocket. This is from the older 346 line--NOT to be confused with the less than august version that's currently peddled by Brooks' marketeers through outlet stores. This jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has a single hook vent, and--obviously--was made in the USA. It has plain brass-coloured buttons. It could use a dry clean to freshen it up, and so it's only in Very Good condition--but with this done it will easily be in Excellent condition! Tagged a 42R, but seems to run slightly smaller--please see measurements: Chest: 20 3/4 Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+2) Shoulder: 18 Length: 30 1/2 3) Shetland tweed in moss-green herringbone Canvassed Along with a patchwork tweed, I've wanted a dark moss-green herringbone for ages--but I've yet to come across one in my size.... And not only is this a lovely moss-green herringbone tweed, but it's also a Shetland tweed--just as hardy as Harris or Donegal, but with a lovely softer drape and hand. This jacket is half-canvassed with a Anglophilic three-button front with subtle darting; it's also unvented, in Flusser-approved fashion. It's in excellent condition--the front breast pocket is still sewn shut. It's fully lined. Asking just $40, or offer. Tagged a 42R, but please see measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 24 (+1 1/2) Shoulder: 20 Length: 31 4) GORGEOUS HARRIS TWEED 3/2 sack by The English Shop of Princeton--horn buttons, and more! Canvassed SOLD This is simply BEAUTIFUL. Before even moving to list the details of this wonderful grail jacket from the uber-trad (and so defunct) The English Shop of Princeton. special mention must be made of the beauty of the tweed as my pictures utterly fail to capture it. It's a herringbone, but it's one of the utterly beautiful and complex herringbones Harris Tweeds that can truly be considered artisan works of art. The colours are wonderful and naturally subtle, and so beautifully blended it's hard to separate them all. There's certainly dark moss green, slate grey, turquoise, and sky blue, with the occasional single fleck of red, all beautifully heathered together. This really is a gorgeous tweed--and explains why this has been in my closet for some time, despite my having no chance f it ever fitting me. The jacket itself lives up to the tweed it's made of. A half-canvassed 3/2 sack this was made in the USA, and is half-lined with a single vent. I believe that the buttons are actually horn, and although I don't know this for certain I'd be very surprised if they weren't. The lapel is slightly rumpled from storage, but this will be fixed with a steam or pressing. There's also some minor rubbing to the lining at the top of the inside pockets and under the left armpit, and a pinprick hole in the shoulder lining, but otherwise this jacket is in excellent condition. Measurements: Chest: 20 Sleeve: 24 (+2 1/4) Shoulder: 17 3/4 Length: 29 3/4 5) Classic herringbone Harris Tweed Canvassed SOLD This is a lovely herringbone Harris tweed in the classic combination of brown and cream. It was made in the USA, is half-lined and half-canvassed, and has a single vent. There's some minor (and, to me, desirable) patina to the football buttons on the cuffs, and some broken stitching where the lining is attached to the seam under the left armhole, otherwise this is a lovely wardrobe staple that's in excellent condition. Measurements: Chest: 20 1/4 Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+2) Shoulder: 18 Length: 31 6) Barleycorn Harris Tweed Canvassed SOLD A lovely Harris Tweed in the more unusual barleycorn weave, this jacket's colourway (which my pictures don't do justice to) is a mixture of slate grey, dark tan, and cream. The jacket is half-canvassed, half-lined, and has a single vent. It was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition apart from a tiny (2mm) snag in the lining (shown). Measurements: Chest: 18 3/4 Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 17 1/4 Length: 30 7) Charles Tyrwhitt of Jermyn Street, London, FUTURE BLAZER, with working cuffs! Canvassed SOLD This jacket would make a wonderful blazer! I believe that it's actually an orphan suit jacket, judging by the buttons--but since it's navy, all you'll need to do is have these swapped for plain brass, silver, or pewter buttons and this would make a perfectly decent blazer. (NOTE: I only advise this on this jacket as it's gorgeous, and is both the appropriate colour for a blazer and has pick-stitching on the lapels, so it would be a very easy conversion.) Having noted that this should be considered a conversion project--although it could be worn as it is, if you like--here are a few of its features: It has pick stitching on the lapels, cuffs, and vent, and well as throughout the lining, working surgeon's cuffs, a striking brilliant blue full lining that's classically English, a single vent, and full canvassing. It's also in beautiful condition, except for a very small tear on the back just up from the hem that could be easily and cheaply be repaired by a competent tailor. However, given this flaw and my advice to change the buttons, I'm rating this as being only in Good condition, and hence Measurements: Chest: 22 3/4 Sleeve: 25 3/4 Shoulder: 19 Length: 31 8) Barney's of New York mossy green glen plaid jacket Canvassed This is a very pleasant mossy-green glen plaid jacket made in the USA for Barney's. It's half-canvassed, fully lined, and in Flusser-approved fashion is ventless. It's in excellent condition. Asking just $35, or offer Tagged 40R, but please see Measurements: Chest: 20 1/4 Sleeve: 24 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 18 3/4 Length: 28 9) Classic Harris Tweed by Wallach's Canvassed Previously posted; now with price drop. Original thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...33&postcount=1 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 $32 > 30 or offer. Measurements: Chest: 22 Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+3) Shoulder: 18 5/8 Length: 29 1/2 10) LARGE, RECENT Burberry Alpaca/Wool mini-herringbone from Boyd's of Philadelphia Canvassed Previously posted; now with price drop. Original thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...33&postcount=1 This is a terrific jacket--and if you're a larger chap, you should grab it while you have the chance! Made from 70% wool and 30% alpaca, the cloth of this jacket has a wonderful hand and a lovely drape. It's also a classic mini-herringbone, and so very versatile. The jacket is fully lined and half-canvassed, has a single vent, and a nod to the novacheck lining of the trenchcoats by the interior pocket. This was made in the USA, and sold by the Ivy-friendly store Boyd's of Philadelphia--which is still going very strong, as this is a recent Burberry! It's in absolutely excellent condition. Asking $52 > 48 > 45 or offer I believe that this is tagged a 52--see the interior label--but please see the measurements. Measurements: Chest: 25 3/4 Sleeve: 24 (+2) Shoulder: 21 3/4 Length: 32 1/4
