SUMMER JKTS! 38-46: Handtailored Loro Piana cash/linen, silk/linen Hilton, RL, Boss+

1) STUNNING Handtailored Primo Italian jacket in Loro Piana cashmere/linen blend Canvassed This is simply stunning. Fully handtailored by Primo in Milan, Italy (of course!) this is possibly THE most beautiful summer jacket I've even seen. It's gorgeous, and my pictures come nowhere near doing it justice. First, the fabric is beautifully luxurious--a 50/50 blend of lightweight cashmere and linen by Loro Piana in an absolutely beautiful blue with a wonderful, wonderful drape. The cut is wonderful, too--clearly Milanese, utterly unstructured and beautifully made, this has side vents, and the sleeves are cut so they naturally and subtly follow the contours of one's body at rest. The cuffs are surgeons cuffs, of course. The jacket is quarter-lined in bemberg (naturally!), and has three patch pockets, with the top one set at a slight, very slight, angle rather than simply laid down flat and straight. The jacket is fully canvassed. Naturally, there is a TON of handwork in this jacket, with pick stitching on the pockets, the lapels, and throughout the interior--and pretty much everywhere else! This is a gorgeous jacket. It does have one tiny, tiny flaw--a couple of thread breaks on the sleeve near the shoulder, as shown, which I found on my third inspection. These, though, really are minor, and simply ignored for the correct splash of Milanese sprezzatura! How much would this jacket cost new? I couldn't guess--and wouldn't want to for fear that I'd then have to treat it even more carefully than I am now! But I'll be happy to pass it along for just $175 > 160 > 145 > 135, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS--with ALL offers being very welcome! And if this jacket is your size, you REALLY should grab this--unless you're the Ferrari-shopping Spoo or regularly pay retail for green Hermes wallets this might be your only chnace for a jacket this beautiful at this price! Heck, even if it isn't your size you should grab it and frame it as art! Tagged EU 56R (US46R), this beauty measures: Chest: 23 Sleeve: 25 Shoulder: 20 Length: 32 2) BEAUTIFUL Hilton silk blend jacket Canvassed This is an absolutely beautiful contemporary summer jacket! From Hilton, the sole remaining survivor of Princeton's Big Four menswear shops (the others being Ballot, Langrock, and The English Shop), this jacket is a beautiful golden wheat with a very subtle cornflower and rust overcheck, and a lovely texture--the close-ups are the closest that I come to capturing what it looks like! It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a single vent. There's no fabric content, but it's clearly a silk blend, either with wool or (more likely) linen. It was Union made in the USA. This jacket is in excellent condition except for a small thread break on one arm (almost unnoticeable because of the texture of the weave), and some minor pen marks on the lining by the primary interior pocket. Because of these flaws, I'm asking just $50 > 47, or offer. Measurements: Chest: 22 1/4 Sleeve: 25 (+2) Shoulder: 19 3/4 Length: 30 1/2 3) Ralph Lauren Blue Label for Bloomingdale's Canvassed SOLD UPDATE: I've just learned from AlanC that the Signature Label line was RL's precursor to Purple Label, and that this should go for around twice this asking price. So, grab this bargain before this turns pink and cashmere and the numbers in the price get reversed! A terrific midweight jacket, this lovely tweedy RL would make a great transitional jacket between Spring and Summer, and Summer and Fall, moving deeper into the latter season. It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a lovely drape to it. It's 100% wool and made in the USA. It also has side vents, for the Anglophile's delectation and delight! It's in excellent condition. Tagged a 40R, but please see Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 23 1/4 (+2) Shoulder: 21 Length: 29 1/2 4) 38S Made in UK British Gun Club Check Canvassed SOLD A lovely and very British gun club check tweed, this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, with a very English cut--nicely shaped and darted with side vents. It's also fully lined and half-canvassed, and made from 100% wool. This is a lovely lightweight jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer, and early Fall. It was Made in the UK, and is in excellent condition. Tagged a 38S, this measures: Chest: 20 3/4 Sleeve: 24 (+1 3/4) Shoulder; 17 3/4 Length: 28 3/4 5) Made in USA J. Peterman wool/silk/linen summer jacket Canvassed SOLD If I expanded my description and told a story of how I found this jacket while andering through the backwoods of Maine until I came across this tiny logging town with its own fabric mill still running since the C19th, as is Peterman's wont, I could, perhaps, charge ten times what I'm asking for this jacket! Suspect backstory aside, this is a lovely lightweight summer jacket made in the USA from a blend of 40% wool, 40% silk, 30% linen. It features desirable patch pockets, a single vent, and a full lining. This jacket was made in the USA and is in excellent condition!

A wonderful light- to mid-weight jacket by Southwick for barney's of New York by picture really do not do this lovely jacket justice. A lovely gun check with a classic black and tan mini puppytooth pattern as the base with a rust overcheck, this jacket is both fully canvassed and fully lined. It has a single vent, and was, of course, made in the USA. It's in absolutely excellent condition.

BUT occasionally it gets a jacket right--and the pricing issue isn't a concern with my offerings! This is a lovely light- to mid-weight jacket (erring to the latter) in 90% lambswool and 10% silk. As you'd expect from this blend the drape of this jacket is lovely; it's also half-canvassed and fully lined, with no vent, in Flusser-approved style. The tweed is lovely--it's a Donegal-esque tweed with flecks of green, blue, gorse, russet, and others scattered throughout! My pictures really don't do his justice, but please do see the close-ups of the tweed for the nearest approximation of its loveliness. This is the Appollon model from Boss, Union-Made in the USA, and in excellent condition, EXCEPT it has some rust-coloured water stains in the lining, as shown. Because of this, Asking $39, offer Tagged a 40R, but please see measurements: Chest: 21 7/8 Sleeve: 24 (+2) Shoulder: 19 3/4 Length: 30 1/2 8) Made in Italy silk/linen/wool mini-houndstooth by Ralph Lauren Polo Canvassed SOLD This is a lovely jacket!

Measurements: Chest: 21 1/2 Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+ 2 1/2) Shoulder: 17 3/4 Length: 30 3/4 10) Bacrach mini-houndstooth suit This suit is probably a three season suit, with the excluded season being winter, rather than summer!
