c. 38 BEAUTIFUL Gun Club check tweed jacket by Corbin

1) Muted Madras-style 1960s summer sack Canvassed SOLD This is lovely! A beautiful muted Madras-style jacket in muted shades of forest and pine green with oak-bark bars in the weave, this jacket is a classic 1960s jacket for campus or casual wear--utterly Take Ivy! There's no fabric content listed, but it's probably a lightweight wool blend of some form--either a synthetic or (more likely) cotton. It's fully canvassed and half-lined, and has the classic two-button cuffs. It has a single vent, narrow lapels, and a high-roll three button sack cut. Were I an eBay seller I'd list this as being in excellent vintage condition--this translates into my more honest account of this as being in Very Good condition, in need of a dry clean to freshen it up. If you have any madras-type sack in your closet, this versatile original should be it! Made in the USA, of course. Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1) Shoulder: 17 3/4 Length: 29 3/8 2) Beautiful Midweight Gun Club Check Jacket by Corbin Canvassed This is absolutely gorgeous! Featuring fully canvassed construction and a full lining, this is one of the most beautiful gun club checks I've seen--my pictures come nowhere close to doing it justice! The checks are a mixture of dark tan, mid-blue, sage green, and black on a mid-tan background with a beautiful rust check overlay. This really is terrific! In addition to its full canvassing this jacket has a single vent, and was, of course, Made in the USA. It's in absolutely beautiful condition, with the exception of a single minor thread pull (shown near the hem--which you might well have never noticed, and would be a 30-second fix for a dry-cleaner tailor! But then, noting such trivial flaws is for my sake, really, rather than yours... Given how beautiful this is, it's a steal at $70, or offer! Measurements: Chest: 20 1/2 Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+2 3/4) Shoulder: 19 Length: 30 1/4 3) GRAIL! Donegal Mist--cashmere, Donegal tweed, and kid mohair mix tweed from Ireland! Canvassed SOLD You probably know what this is, but I'll tell you anyway... It's the trads' Grail Tweed, a tweed that's a mixture of 5% cashmere, 60% Donegal wool, and 35% kid mohair that provides one of the softest yet hardest-wearing tweeds available. Plus, each Donegal Mist is handwoven with the name of the weaver in the jacket--in this case, Albert Williamson. It really doesn't get mush more artisanal than this--something J. Press recognises having long had Mists as their flagship tweed. Oh yes--this tweed is a very rare solid, being pure camel-coloured! If it's being a Mist wasn't enough, this also features lapped seams at the shoulders, half-canvassing, metal-shanked leather covered football buttons, and a single vent. It was made for KH Tailoring of Fifth Avenue, New York. This really is a very special tweed indeed! Alas, though, it does have three minor flaws. There's perhaps three broken threads located by the hem, which I only found when peering closely at it to get a close-up of the weave, and a couple more broken threads on the right sleeve, which I only just found. It also has a small fray by the buttons on the edge of the cloth by the right cuff, again, a flaw I only found when taking its close up, and something that can be readily fixed. Measurements: Chest: 20 1/4 Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+1 3/4) Shoulder: 17 3/4 Length: 30 1/4 4) GRAIL!! Brooks Brothers "Brookstweed" 3/2 sack in Shetland tweed! Canvassed SOLD A trad GRAIL! This is a beautiful Brookstweed 3/2 sack in Shetland, the highly-desirable and rare tweed that wears as hard as Harris and has a hand that's almost as soft as Donegal Mist. Plus, this shetland tweed is a classic 3/2 sack with a beautiful lapel roll, a single vent, classic two-button cuffs, and a full (rather than the usual half) lining. It's also half-canvassed, and was Made in the USA. Moreover, this is a more recent jacket, rather than a vintage piece, and was clearly worn sparingly, if at all--it's in beautiful condition. And its tweed is beautiful, too, being a classic dark brown herringbone. Tagged a 42L, but please see Measurements: Chest: 21 1/4 Sleeve: 26 (+2 1/4) Shoulder: 18 3/4 Length: 32 1/2 5) The English Shop of Princeton gun club check 3/2 sack Canvassed SOLD Another beautiful jacket! This was made expressly for the now-defunct The English Shop of Princeton, a former rival to Langrock, Hilton, and Ballot. Again, my pictures don't do this jacket justice at all--it's a beautiful gun club check, with slate grey, black, bark and russet on the classic mid-tan background. It's half-canvassed and half-lined, and has the classic two button cuffs. It's in a midweight tweed and has a single vent. It's in absolutely excellent condition, although it was mis-pressed to a 3/1 roll (!)--although this is easily fixed, especially since the 3/2 sack configuration is starting to come back naturally, being dependent on the cut and not the press. Naturally, this was made in the USA, Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+ 2 1/4) Shoulder: 18 1/2 Length: 32 1/4 6) BEAUTIFUL University Shop of Princeton 3/2 sack tweed with overcheck! Canvassed SOLD This is simply wonderful! The tweed is beautiful--very light summery grey and cream broad herringbone with subtle orange and light-blue single-thread overchecking, this is clearly a three-season tweed, both for its colouring and its weight. It's also a 3/2 sack, and had the classic two-button cuff--as you'd expect for a jacket made expressly for Princeton's University Store! This is half-lined, but 3/4 canvassed, and has a hook vent. The buttons are metal-shanked leather-covered football buttons. This gorgeous jacket is in absolutely excellent condition. Measurements: Chest: 21 1/8 Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+2) Shoulder: 18 1/2 Length: 30 1/2 7) Oxxford summer jacket Canvassed SOLD Another beautiful jacket! This has all the Oxxford hallmarks--fully canvassed, beautifully cut from gorgeous fabric, with a wonderful drape. It's also a rarity, as it's either a 3/2 sack with a high lapel roll, or a three-button with the hint of a lapel roll at the top, like the A&F above. In either case, it's lovely, and would delight trads and non-trads alike! The fabric has no content listed, but this model appears to be a wool-silk blend. It's beautiful, with a lovely subtle overcheck of summer sky-blue and pinky-orange. It's half-lined and single vented. It's label marks it as a "Curator's Choice" model.
