More closet-cleaning. One-stop shopping for the Mad Men/Trad lucky enough to be sz 39-40. Some great items:
1) vintage Chipps 3/2 charcoal sack suit, 39-40S-R. The real deal. Why pay $2000 for an ill-fitting Thom Browne knock-off, when you can get the real thing? Tagged size 40R (see measurements for best fit), but could work for 39R, 39S, or 40S, as well. Beautiful four-season sack. As you would expect, wonderful thin-but-not-too-thin lapels, 2-button sleeves, flat front pants, 1 3/4" cuffs. 2 slight defects: the seam at the top of one pocket has come undone (approx. 1/4") and needs to be resewn...easy fix. Also, a small hole on beltline, on rear of pants (see photo). No need to reweave; simple stitch will solve it, and will remain unseen under the belt.

2) NOS NWT Brooks Brothers OCBD, 15.5-33, made in USA, red/tan/black tattersall. This was purchased by me...gosh...maybe 20 years ago. Remained in my college trunk, unworn, since the late 80s/early 90s. Tags still on it. 100% cotton. Beautiful collar roll. Needless to say, it no longer fits, or I wouldn't be making it available. Remember when you could buy the classic Brooks Brothers black & red tattersall OCBD? No longer. There's a vastly inferior, thinner, made in Asia, non-iron version I have seen in the retail stores, but I can't bring myself to buy one.
SOLD
3) Brooks Brothers short-sleeve pinpoint BD shirt, 15.5, made in USA. 100% cotton. From my same college trunk. Rarely worn, and not at all in the past 20 yrs! Beautiful collar roll.
SOLD
4) Vintage Brooks Brothers tan v-neck sweater, size 40. Beautiful: pure lambswool, tagged size 40, made in England
SOLD
Chest - 40
Length - 25
5) beautiful, like new, Brooks Brothers wool tweed cap. Made in Italy. Size XL (for comparison, I wear a 7 1/4-3/8 cap, and this was loose on me).
Asking $25 shipped.
