LARGE DROPS! TWEED MEGATHREAD!!! 36S to c. 46: Donegal, Harris, English tweeds! Brooks camelhair, Ho

1) Striped Basketweave Harris tweed

A very nice Harris tweed in a rather unusual fabric--a rustic brown basketweave with very, very subtle vertical striping in slate grey, so subtle, iin fact, that it's hard to see except on close examination, and utterly impossible for me to capture on film (or in pixels). This jacket appears to be half-canvassed, and is half-lined with a single vent. It was Made in the USA, and originally sold at The Hub men's store in Virginia. It is missing a front button, but I'l include two replacement buttons (to ensure a match) that are as close as I can get to the cuff buttons. Other than this, this jacket is in excelent condition.... But because of this flaw I'm

asking just $30 > 28 > 26, or offer, shipped in CONUS.

Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 26 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 19 1/2
Length: 31 3/4






2) BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC Donegal Tweed from Kevin & Howlin of Dublin, Ireland!

I've been looking for precisely this tweed for years now, and so I was extremely disappointed when I realized that no amount of tailoring would make this fit...

This is a beautiful jacket, made for Kevin & Howlin, the premier retailers of Donegal tweeds in Dublin. And this is an absolutely classic Donegal tweed--bursting with rough hewn nubby texture in a beautiful black pepper and dark cream Donegal weave. It's also half-canvassed and fully lined, features slanted hacking pockets and twin vents, and was, of course, clearly Made in Ireland. It also features complementary coloured elbow patches! This isn't the sort of tweed that comes up everyday, so if this is your size grab it and make me very, very jealous....

It could use a dry clean just to freshen it up--but you'd do this anyway on receipt, right? Otherwise, this is in absolutely excellent condition.

Asking just $65 > 50 > 45, or offer, shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 20 5/8
Sleeve: 24 1/8 (+ 2 1/4)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 31






3) Nottingham Fabrics Donegal-esque tweed; three patch pockets!

SOLD

This is a very nice vintage tweed! Cut from Donegal-esque nubby tweed in earth tones, this is flecked throughout with spots of gorse yellow, cream, berry red, forest green, and dark evening blue. It features the always-desirable three patch pockets--the top one of which is nicely slanted--a very nice lapel roll, and two button cuffs. It's also single vented and quarter-lined and Made in the USA--and features a functional throat latch! It was made for Dunhill's of Huntington, W. Va... who are either THE Dunhill's, or else engaged in something suspiciously close to trademark infringement, given how their name is fonted!

This jacket needs a dry-clean just to freshen it up, and so is conservatively in Very Good/Excellent condition. As such, I'm

asking just $35 > 32, or offer, shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 23 (+2 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 29 3/4






4) United Kingdom Tweed Coat

SOLD

Thick, heavy, warm, and utterly classic, this is another item that I tried on several times hoping that one time I tried it it would actually fit! But, no luck, so it's here...

Cut from a beautiful wide herringbone in traditional brown and cream, this wonderful coat is half-lined and half-canvassed. It features a centre vent, as well as lapped seams down the center back and the sleeves. It's a classic raglan cut--hence the absence of a shoulder measurement, below--and was cut from tweed woven in the United Kingdom. It has two front pockets and one interior slash pocket. It was Made in the USA. As is usual, this coat has cuff turn-ups on the sleeves,and hence lacks sleeve buttons. This is in excellent condition, although it could use a dry-clean just to freshen it up, and is an absolute steal at

just $75, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve (measured on seam from armpit to cuff): 17 3/4
Shoulder: NA
Length: 41 (+ 2 3/4)






5) BEAUTIFUL 3/2 herringbone sack!

SOLD

This is a wonderful tweed--but then, it's cut from one of my favourite types of cloth; herringbone in beautiful moss green and chestnut back, with the colours suffused rather than sharply defined. My pictures really do not do the beauty of this cloth justice!

The jacket is also a classic 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll. It's half-lined and fully canvassed, and has a single vent. It also features the classic two button cuffs. This was, of course, Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.

Asking just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 23
Sleeve: 25 (+2)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 30






6) BEAUTIFUL Harris Tweed is flecked slate blue

SOLD

This is an absolutely wonderful Harris Tweed--a beautiful and complex tweed with a lovely slate blue base, flecked through with occasional spots of forest green, dark blue, and gorse yellow. My pictures really don't do this justice at all--a real pity, as this is a wonderful and very rare Harris!

The jacket itself was Made in the USA. It's half-lined and has a single vent. A couple of the complementary dark blue football buttons on one sleeve do have some patina, being rather rubbed at the sides, but otheriwse this jacket is in excellent condition. Grab it if it's your size--especially as I'm

asking just $45, shipped in CONUS, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 21 1/4
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+2 1/8)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 30 1/2






7) 36S Brooks Brothers camelhair

SOLD

This is a lovely jacket! It's also possibly unworn--or worn very, very sparingly--as the two front pockets are still basted shut. It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and was Made in the USA. It's also in excellent condition, with one tiny flaw--a very, very small moth nibble on one sleeve, as shown.

Asking just $45, or offer, shipped in CONUS.

Measurements:

Chest: 19 5/8
Sleeve: 23 (+ 1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 28 5/8






8) Austin Reed with three patch pockets

Cut from a lovely bark brown tickweave-style tweed, this jacket is fully lined. It also features three patch pockets! It's unvented in Flusser-approved style, and was Made in the USA. It does have a couple of minor flaws: there is some loose stitching in the lining at the hem, the back seam appears to "gape" slightly, as shown (although this might have been a feature of it when it was new, also--it's hard to tell if this is a development, a result of alteration, or something that it started with), and a small hole by the hem near the rear of the front, as shown. Despite these flaws, this jacket presents cosmetically as being in excellent condition, since they can't really be noticed and are, anyway, fairly easy fixes, but I would rate it overall as being in Very Good condition, but I'm still

asking just $20 > 18 > 15, boxed and shipped in CONUS, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 26 1/4 (+2)
Shoulder: 19 1/4
Length: 32 1/2






9) Harris Tweed in basketweave

A very nice Harris tweed in rustic brown, slate, black, and cream basketweave, with occasional (and classically Harris!) flacks of pumpkin orange, scarlet, and blue. This is half-canvassed and half-lined. It features a center vent, and has the traditional football buttons in complementary brown. It was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.

Asking just $40 > 35 > 30, or offer, shipped in CONUS.
