PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REMAINING JACKETS HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATED INTO THE THREAD WITH NEWLY-LISTED JACKETS, WITH PRICE DROPS, HERE:

1) GORGEOUS DAKS for Trimingham's of Bermuda! Canvassed
SOLD
This is a beautiful jacket, and, as such, is another victim of my concern that some of my jackets are just too beautiful for me to wear for fear of spoiling them.... and so it's here to find a new home! Made by DAKS of England for the tradly store Trimingham's of Bermuda, this terrific jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined with a center vent. It's a lovely, three-season Scottish wool, and given its lovely light green and slateblue heathery tweed (captured best in the close-ups) it would be a perfect Spring jacket. It has a three button front, two button cuffs, and is beautifully cut. It does have a small flaw; the stitching on one cuff is pulled at the seam, as shown. But this would be an easy fix for a minimally competent dry-cleaner tailor--and, in any case, I've owned this jacket for two years (during which time it's been admired frequently and worn not at all!) and only discovered this flaw two minutes ago, during my final inspection prior to posting!

Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 25 3/4 (+ 1 3/4)
Length: 31
Shoulder: 19
2) Classic herringbone Harris Tweed Canvassed
SOLD
This is a lovely, classic Harris Tweed in slateblue herringbone. It's half-lined with a single vent, and is half-canvassed. The leather-covered football buttons in complementary dark caramel have no patina at all, and there's no rubbing to the interior size label either, so I suspect that this wardrobe staple was worn very infrequently, if at all. It's in absolutely excellent condition.
This is tagged a 41S, but it runs smaller; see Measurements:
Chest: 20
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 29 1/8
3) TERRIFIC LINING! Lovely Mad Men Moss Green/Black herringbone sack Canvassed
This is a great jacket! The tweed is a beautiful dark moss green and black herringbone, that's both thoroughly current and utterly authentically Mad Men. The lapels are Ivy-narrow, and it has both two button cuffs and side vents. It also has slanted, It's also half-canvassed, and half-lined.... and the lining is WONDERFUL, with very detailed hunting scenes on a complementary light mint green background. This jacket is in excellent condition.
Asking just $50 > 45, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 29 1/4
4) B. Altman Camelhair in glen plaid. Canvassed
This is a great jacket from the legendary, and now defunct, trad/Ivy store B. Altman, of Fifth Avenue, New York City--the store that long had a reputation for "gentility and conservatism," according to the New York Times article published about the store on Christmas Day near the end of its life. This jacket was one of the last to leave B. Altma's doors (it closed in 1989), and so owing both to this, the conservative, classic styling of B. Altman goods, and its absolutely excellent condition, this jacket could pass easily as having been bought last week from a newly-resurrected Altman's.
This jacket is fully lined and half-canvassed with a single vent. It's made from beautiful, soft camelhair, and--unusually for camelhair--is in absolutely excellent condition. This jacket is a testament to how well well-made menswear can last in excellent condition when it's well taken care of.
Although this is a camelhair, lovely, in excellent condition, half-canvassed, and from Altman's, I'm asking just $55 > 50 > 45, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 24 1/4 (+3)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 30
5) Versace V2 grey jacket, for Saks. Canvassed
SOLD
As you probably know, the Versace V2 collection was the result of a collaboration between Versace and Zegna to produce (relatively, compared to Versace's Couture line!) affordable, classically-styled but contemporary menswear. This jacket is a lovely example of that, being perfectly suited for ordinary office wear yet still with a distinctively designed twist, such as the single button front, the short (4") side vents, and the flapless pockets. Made in Switzerland expressly for Saks, this jacket is fully lined in Versace V2 lining (featuring chevrons in vertical stripes) and is half-canvassed. It has a lovely drape and a beautiful hand, and is in excellent condition.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 24 (+2)
Shoulder: 19 3/4
Length: 30
6) Brooks Brothers 3/2 sack with patch pockets -- just $22 > 20!! Canvassed
This is a beautiful jacket! It's a lovely glen plaid in three season wool in the classic 3/2 sack configuration. It also has lovely patch pockets, a half-lining, a single vent, and is half-canvassed. It also has the classic Ivy two button cuff. It's also in beautiful condition, EXCEPT for two flaws: There's a snag hole on one sleeve, and the left hand cuff needs tacking down. The latter flaw is very minor, and could take anyone just two minutes to fix perfectly. The former flaw, though, while not very noticeable 9and small enough to be ignored!), could possibly be fixed by competent darning, and certainly by re-reweaving. Luckily, darning IS an option here, as the hole is ONLY on the dark stripe of the glen plaid. But, is is there, and so this jacket, while in beautiful condition, could be yours for much less than I have in it!
Asking just $22 > 20--or offer!

7) Saks Fifth Avenue cashmere coat
SOLD
This is a lovely coat--thick, heavy cashmere in a lovely rich camel colour that my pictures turned to washed-out beige... So, please don't be put off by them!
This coat is a lovely, thick, heavy cashmere--not the thin stuff that's available now. It's also very well-made, being half-canvassed, fully lined, and with a hook vent. The exterior pockets are lined with either suede or thick cotton duck, with the right one having a functional change pocket inside. And, of course, it's terrifically cut.
However, it does have some flaws--although these are mainly lining issues. The lining under both armholes is frayed and torn, and needs to be patched--a competent dry-cleaner tailor should be able to do this. The lining under the flaps of the front pockets is also frayed and worn, as shown--again, an easy patch, unless you'd like to ignore this as it won't get worse quickly, and could be readily fixed if it did. There are also small rubbed patches from wear on the right sleeve by the shoulder, by the hook vent, and near the hem, on the front, as well as on the elbows. These are from abrasion from wear, and so give the coat a lovely, lived-in old-money WASP-y feel... However, they do render it unsuitable as a business coat and mean it should be a more casual weekend or evening coat--and one that would be absolutely perfect for dates, being formal, yet, now, owing to its acquired patina and hence sprezzatura, not!
Given this, this coat is in Good condition, and so I'm asking just SOLD
Measurements:
Chest: 25
Sleeve: 27
Length: 46
Shoulder: 20 1/2
8) 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 $35 > 32, or offer.

9) Barney's of New York mossy green glen plaid jacket Canvassed
SOLD
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.
Tagged 40R, but please see Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/4
Sleeve: 24 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18 3/4

10) 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 $28 > 26 or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 22
Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+3)
Shoulder: 18 5/8
Length: 29 1/2
11) LARGE, RECENT Burberry Alpaca/Wool mini-herringbone from Boyd's of Philadelphia Canvassed
SOLD
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.
I believe that this is tagged a 52--see the interior label--but please see the measurements.
