MOVED: JKTS & SUIT, 38-42: Mini-houndstooth suit, Lanvin summer blazer

1) Cable Car Clothiers grey and white seersucker jacket Canvassed

SOLD

A trad. staple from the tradly (and extremely expensive) Cable Car Clothiers of San Francisco, this is a real seersucker jacket, and not just a striped cotton jacket made to look like seersucker. It's lovely and crinkly, and perfect for the hot summer that's just arrived. Made in the USA, it features patch pockets, a single vent, and half-canvassing. It does have some loose stitching in the back lining at the top of the vent, and two very, very small brown marks (on the pocket and right chest) that may or may not come out with dry cleaning.... and in any case are hardly noticeable and give it character! Given these flaws, though, this is in Very Good condition, and hence

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 17 1/4
Length: 29 1/2




2) The Tartan Corner Madras-type jacket Canvassed

SOLD

This is lovely! There's no fabric content tag identifying this as actual madras, but it seems pretty clearly to be all-cotton, and so lovely and lightweight. It's half-canvassed and half-lined, has a single vent, and is a beautiful fabric in lovely aqua tones. It's also Made in the USA, and in excellent condition!

Measurements:

Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18 3/4
Length: 30




3) H. Freeman "Naturalaire" 3/2 tweed sack Canvassed

SOLD

Although this is possibly an orphan suit jacket, that it's a dark herringbone tweed 3/2 sack and has buttons that would be acceptable on an odd jacket means that it can easily be worn as an odd jacket! In any case, made by the classic tradly clothier H. Freeman. this lovely jacket has a high 3/2 lapel roll, is a lovely dark brown herringbone (please see close ups for colour and pattern), is half-lined, half-canvassed, and has a single vent. It's a heavier tweed, so would be good for Fall and Winter wear. Slightly rumpled from storage and with two very small rust spots on the interior lining near the inside pocket from a safety pin affixing an old dry-cleaner's tag, this jacket is in Very Good condition (conservatively!) It was Made in the USA.

It carries a vintage tag size of 42, but please see measurements:

Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 17 1/4
Length: 30 1/2




4) Lanvin Summer Blazer Canvassed

Featuring patch pockets and the classic Lanvin brass buttons this also has a lot of pick stitching on the lapels and pockets, a full lining featuring the Lanvin logo, and a single vent. It's also half-canvassed, and Made in the USA. It does have some pinpricks in the lining (literally pinpricks, from pins!) but otherwise this is in excellent condition.

Asking $50 > 47, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+ 2 1/2)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 30 3/4






5) Bacrach mini-houndstooth suit

This suit is probably a three season suit, with the excluded season being winter, rather than summer! It's a mini-houndstooth with full lining, single vent, and half-canvassing. The trousers are pleated, as shown, and the suit itself is a standard two-button darted. It was Made in Canada, and is in excellent condition with the exception of a single thread pull on the lapel, as shown--this is hardly noticeable and in any case is an easy fix.

Asking $60 > 55, or offer.

Tagged a 40 33R, the measurements are:

Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 26 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 19 1/2
Length: 30 1/2

Waist, laid flat: 17 1/2
Inseam: 33 (+ 1 1/4 cuff)






6) Orvis 3/2 sack summer jacket with all patch pockets!

This is a lovely unstructured summer jacket! Made by Orvis this is a lovely primrose yellow with green-grey overcheck. It has three patch pockets and a 3/2 sack cut. It's very lightweight, being made of lambswool, and is half-lined with a single vent. The shoulders have no discernible padding at all. It's slightly rumpled from storage, and has a small pinprick near the hem on the right front; there's also a small brown mark there, which will likely come out with dry-cleaning. Given these flaws, this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and hence

Tagged a 42R, but please see measurements:

Chest: 22 1/4
Sleeve: 22 3/4 (+2)
Shoulder: 19
(Please note that owing to the cut of this jacket and the lack of shoulder padding the sleeve length is in practice a bit longer, and the shoulders narrower, as the jacket will drape from the shoulders to extend the arms.)
Length: 30




7) Zegna double-breasted jacket Canvassed

SOLD

This is a lovely jacket! Double-breasted in a conservative yet colourful glen plaid pattern (navy blue base, pale yellow and pinkish overcheck), this jacket is fully lined and fully canvassed. It is ventless, in Flusser-approved style, and was made in Italy. It's in excellent condition, despite some minor rumpling from storage, which will fall out with hanging.

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 31




8) Beautiful Midweight Gun Club Check Jacket by Corbin Canvassed

SOLD

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...

Measurements:

Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+2 3/4)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 30 1/4
