1) CLASSIC and RARE Burberry Trenchcoat, Made in England for The Scotch House!
SOLD
Long before Filson collaborated with Levis, and J. Press collaborated with, well, some department store brand that I forget, Burberry occasionally made coats in collaboration with other equally-august houses. Or so I assume--although the only collaboration that I'm aware of is between Burberry and The Scotch House. (In case you didn't know, TSH is a purveyor of all things sartorially Scots to the upper- and upper-middle classes in England and Scotland. It's one of my favourite stores!) And this coat is one of the products.
This coat is a classic Burberry forest green, and has a beautiful complementary check lining. It was made in England, and is branded in the main label as being a Scotch House coat--but it also carries the distinctive Burberry named tag inside, and has the distinctive Burberry interior tags. This is the only coat I've seen in which Burberry collaborated in this way--far more common to see Burberry 'for" labels, like that attached to the all-cotton coat below.
Apart from being made for The Scotch House this coat is a quintessential Burberry trench with all of the bells and whistles. It has all of the grenade loops on the belt, leather-covered buckles on the sleeves and the belt, the caped shoulders, the gun-flap, the kick-vent with the additional closure button, the button-chop throat closure, the check lining--everything! It's a beautiful, classic, Burberry trenchcoat in the standard and hard-wearing 67/33 poly/cotton outer and 50/50 poly/cotton lining.
It's also in absolutely excellent condition, appearing hardly worn. The ONLY flaw that I could detect is a tiny whiteish mark under the arm near the seam at the top (almost in the armpit), which might well come out, and in any case will never be seen when the coat is worn or hung up. (Unless you're strap-hanging on the Tube and have a midget standing under your arm who looks up!)
UPDATE: The Scotch House seems to have folded, judging by the fact that its flagship Knightsbridge location is seeking new tenants. See here:
http://www.criterioncapital.co.uk/pr...en-estate.html
Given this, this Burberry/Scotch House coat simply won't be seen again, with TSH having gone the way of Langrock, The English Shop, Press at Princeton.....
This is tagged a 50R (i.e. a US/UK 40R). It measures:
Chest: 23
Sleeve (underarm from pit to cuff): 16 (+2)
Length: 46 1/2 (BOC)
UPDATE 2: The colour is best shown in the main picture; this is a subdued green, not a kelly green, trench!
2) CLASSIC and RARE 100% COTTON Burberry Raincoat for Jenner's of Edinburgh!
SOLD
As you probably know, 100% cotton Burberry are extremely rare, and highly desirable--so this one is a fitting thread companion to the Burberry/Scotch House collaboration listed above!
This is an older Burberry, but one that is in absolutely excellent condition. It's the classic balmacaan style rather than the Trench, and, as such, is perfect for Spring and Summer wear. If it were bigger, I'd definitely be keeping this, especially since it was made for Jenner's of Edinburgh; the Harrods of Scotland, until Harrods went so downmarket that this comparison is now rather insulting to Jenners!
This coat is in a classic khaki which has acquired over the years the beautiful and slightly iridescent sheen of Burberry's treated cotton, a look that's utterly distinctive and probably impossible to fake and which instantly tells those who recognise it that you're wearing a classic all-cotton Burberry, as no other coat maker's products (with the possible exception of Invertere) ever acquire quite this sheen.
This coat has a hook vent and a classic check lining, as well as a concealed placket and working cuff fasteners. It also has fully functional slash pockets. All buttons are present and tight, although the middle front button could use some slight re-sewing in a year or two. A former owner's name is inked into the lining inside one of the pockets. This coat is in excellent condition, and has clearly been very, very carefully looked after.
I've just had this professionally cleaned and pressed by a specialist cleaner, and so it's good to wear as soon as you receive it!
I believe that this would work best for someone in the 36-40 S-R range, but please see measurements:
Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve (underarm to cuff): 17 (+2)
Length (BOC): 41 1/2
3) LL Bean Flying Tigers A2 leather jacket
SOLD
This is the classic leather jacket from LL Bean. Please note that UNLIKE THE CURRENT JACKETS AVAILABLE this one was MADE IN THE USA!
From Bean's website:
"WWII fighter pilots depended on leather flight jackets like this one to keep them warm in unheated cockpits. Ours is inspired by the original Flying Tiger jackets. Made of premium goatskin that remains supple even in below-freezing temperatures. Nylon lining with 100-gram Thinsulate® Insulation olefin/polyester throughout for warmth without weight.
Heavy-duty brass zipper with storm flap keeps out wind and rain. Deep cargo pockets have plenty of room to carry your gear, and side-entry handwarmer pockets offer protection on chilly days. Inside map pocket. The 76% wool/18% nylon/6% Lycra® elastane-blend waistband and cuffs keep their shape, year after year. Snap-down collar. Dry clean by a leather specialist. Fits over a lightweight sweater."
The current cost of these jackets new is $299 and up; the eBay price for used jackets in worse condition than this is around $125, plus shipping.
This jacket is in absolutely excellent condition, with no flaws at all apart from some minor lightening around the ridge of the collar.
Measurements:
Tagged a L, this jacket is:
Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 25
Shoulder: 21
Length (BOC): 26 1/4
4) AWESOME Fieldmaster jacket!
SOLD
This is simply awesome! A classic American jacket, the Fieldmaster is just as much at home on an Ivy league campus a la Take Ivy as it is snugged up to a table at a steelworkers' diner c. 1965 in Western PA. Made from thick yet supple cord with a quilted interior and two front slash pockets, this is a classic 1950's/1960's American jacket that hasn't yet been discovered and "re-made' at a massive mark-up with lower quality for retail to hipsters. So, you'll be the only person wearing one of these!
Note that the colour isn't as bold as my pictures make it look; it's closer to the red shown in the picture with the collar.
And this one is terrific! NO flaws at all on the quilted collar and cuffs which are fresh and stretchy, no missing buttons from the tab side-fasteners, and a zipper that's still completely fluid up and down. There are no markings or piling to the quilted lining, and while the shell does carry patina of minor spotting and scruffing throughout, as shown, this might well clean off--but even if it doesn't its the sort of patina that you want, just as you'd want your Barbour or Filson or Schott Perfecto to be broken in, and not band-box fresh. There's a minor hole in one of the front pockets. Given this, this jacket is in Very Good condition, especially considering its age!
This is a terrific jacket, and if its sleeves were longer it wouldn't be here. I'd keep it!
This is tagged a 40, but remember that this is an original vintage piece, and so runs slightly small. It could work for a 40 without layering, but might work better for a modern 38.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 25
Length: 29
Shoulder: 18 1/2
5) Swiss-made Spring Boss windowpane jacket Canvassed
SOLD
Boss tends to get a fairly bad rap on SF--and with good reason, at full retail. But when it's offered in excellent condition at under $50 shipped (and offers welcome!) it becomes a much better proposition!
This jacket is a lovely Spring jacket in heathery blue, with a terrific windowpane check. It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and is unvented, in Flusser-approved style. It was made in Switzerland, and is in excellent condition apart from a very small white mark on the lining, as shown.
Tagged a 38R, but please see measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 23 3/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 20 (Remember, this is a Boss!)
Length: 29 1/2
6) Zegna Cashmere and Wool jacket Canvassed
SOLD
This is wonderful! A classic Zegna in a wool and cashmere blend (the interior tag is too faded to make out the proportions, but it's very, very soft, and Zegna, so clearly cashmere rich), this is in a terrific dark glen plaid pattern that's perfect for three season wear. It's fully lined, and in Flusser-approved fashion unvented. It's also fully canvassed, and was (of course) made in Italy.
It is rumpled from storage, but that would be immediately fixed with its first dry-cleaning. It also has some minor loose stitching at the bottom of the interior lining. Given these readily fixable issues, though, it's just in Very Good condition. As such, I'm asking
Measurements:
Chest; 22 1/2
Sleeve: 26 1/4 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 19 1/2
Length: 32
7) Classic flecked herringbone Irish tweed
SOLD
Repost, with price drop: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...47&postcount=1
This is a classic brown herringbone Irish tweed, flecked with pumpkin orange, sky blue and the occasional peat black. This is a lovely, classic Irish weave! It's also a lovely British cut, being subtly darted with side vents and a two-button closure. It has traditional single-button cuffs--which are becoming harder to find now--and has almost no patina on the buttons. It also features wider than usual interior chest poacher's pockets rather than the usual narrow-entry breast pocket for your pebbled green Hermes wallet!
Measurements:
Chest: 22
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 19 3/4
Length: 30 3/4
