1) Kilgour, French, Stanbury suit Canvassed SOLD Made by the established tailoring firm of Savile Row, this beautiful suit is a classic and conservative very dark navy. Beautifully cut and fully canvassed, the jacket is fully lined and has a center vent. The trousers are flat front, uncuffed, and rather than belt loops have traditional side adjusters which work nice and fluidly. Although this is a beautiful suit it does have some minor flaws, namely some superficial light marks on the front of the jacket. These are very faint, are all shown, and would, I think either be removed completely with dry cleaning or else rendered unnoticeable. Because of these, however, I think that this suit is just in Good/Very Good condition, and hence Measurements: Chest: 20 1/2 Sleeve: 24 1/4 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 17 3/4 Length: 29 1/2 Waist laid flat: 17 Inseam: 29 3/4 (+2 1/2)

2) Classic two-button herringbone tweed sack by Roots Canvassed SOLD This is a lovely, classic tweed in the elusive two-button sack cut from the now defunct trad. store Roots. A lovely charcoal and lighter grey herringbone, the jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined with a center vent; its complementary dark brown football buttons are in excellent condition. This jacket was Made in the USA and is in excellent condition. Measurements: Chest: 20 3/4 Sleeve: 26 (+1 1/2) Shoulder: 18 Length: 31 
3) GRAIL I: Donegal Mist tweed by Kevin and Howlin of Dublin, Ireland Canvassed SOLD I took a two-hour train ride recently to collect this and the second Grail, below, from a fellow alumnus of my college as I believed that they'd fit me, and I've been searching for tweeds like this for literally years... But it turned out that they're both too short for me! 
Despite this, these are truly Grail jackets, and so I picked them up anyway to pass on at a loss as I know that they'll make one or two chaps here very happy! 
This jacket is GORGEOUS. It's a Donegal Mist--adopted by Press as their Flagship cloth for their best tweeds--made from the standard 60% wool, 35% kid mohair, and 5% cashmere blend by a named weaver, who signs the cloth--in this case, one J. J. Campbell. This jacket was made for Kevin and Howlin, of Dublin, Ireland--the major purveyors of Mist and Donegal tweed in its home country. And this Mist is simply spectacular--my pictures come nowhere close to doing it justice. A classic dark brown herringbone shot through with jeweled flecks of sky blue, garnet, heather grey, light blue, cream, moss green, pumpkin and others, this is the tweed I've wanted for a long, long time... The jacket is fully lined, has a single vent, and is half canvassed. It was made in Ireland and is in absolutely excellent condition. This is tagged a 37R, but please see... Measurements: Chest: 19 3/4 Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 17 5/8 Length: 28 13/16 
4) VERY dark navy herringbone Harris Tweed Canvassed SOLD This is a very, very nice Harris Tweed in very dark navy herringbone, with very occasional flecks of cream, dark moss green, and orange. This jacket is half-canvassed and half lined, with a center vent. It was Made in the USA by Stanley Blacker, who've produced some very nice Harris tweeds that reside in my own wardrobe! This jacket is in excellent condition. Measurements: Chest: 22 3/4 Sleeve: 25 (+ 1/34) Shoulder: 19 Length: 30 1/2 
5) GRAIL II: GORGEOUS Traditional-weight Harris Tweed by Andrew Douglas, Scotland. Canvassed SOLD A traditional-weight Harris Tweed jacket in one of the more complex and unusual Harris colourways and weaves that's not just woven in Scotland but cut, styled, and built there too has been one of my Grails for a while... which is why the fact that this is just about 1" too short for me in the body is incredibly frustrating! But, like the Mist, above, it just won't work for me and so is appearing here at an initial loss. This jacket is a traditional-weight (i.e., heavier) Harris of the sort that's now incredibly rare, with people turning to the lighter weight tweeds that Haggas is trying to popularize. In addition to its traditional weight this jacket is wonderful. The tweed itself is beautiful, being a rare barleycorn shot through with flecks of moss green and pumpkin orange, withe the occasional dash of gorse and summer sky blue. There's also a ton of detail in this jacket, ranging from the carefully sewn faux buttonholes on the cuffs to the use of steel-shanked football buttons. The jacket is also quintessentially British, with dual vents, full lining, and half-canvassing. It's in absolutely excellent condition, except for a very small white mark on the inside lining, as shown. If you only own one Harris Tweed, this should be it! Measurements: Chest: 21 Sleeve: 25 3/4 (+ 1 7/8) Shoulder: 18 1/2 Length: 30

6) Classic USA-made navy blazer with patch pockets Canvassed SOLD This is a lovely, classic navy blazer with the desirable patch pockets! If you don't have at least two of these in your wardrobe--why not? Made in the USA, this is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a center vent. It's in excellent condition, and is in a lovely three-season weight wool. Measurements: Chest: 20 1/2 Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 18 1/4 Length: 30 1/4 
I have consolidated jackets (7) to (11) here from a previous post, with a price drop on (7) to pay for the de facto bump. The original post was here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...23&postcount=1 7) TERRIFIC LINING! Lovely Mad Men Moss Green/Black herringbone sack Canvassed SOLD 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. Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+2) Shoulder: 18 1/2 Length: 29 1/4 
8) 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 $45 > 42 > 40 > 38 > 35 or offer. Measurements: Chest: 20 3/4 Sleeve: 24 1/4 (+3) Shoulder: 18 Length: 30 
9) Brooks Brothers 3/2 sack with patch pockets -- just $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 $20--or offer! Tagged a 43L, but see Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 25 (+2) Shoulder: 18 1/4 Length: 31 1/2 
10) Shetland tweed in moss-green herringbone Canvassed SOLD 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. Tagged a 42R, but please see measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 24 (+1 1/2) Shoulder: 20 Length: 31 
11) 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 Length: 28 
12) 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 $26 > 24 > 22 or offer. Measurements: Chest: 22 Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+3) Shoulder: 18 5/8 Length: 29 1/2
