This is a lovely half-canvassed hopsack blazer from (the now gone) H. Ballot of Princeton--one of the "Big Four" menswear retailers that also included Langrock (gone), The English Shop (gone), and Hilton (still going-hurrah!) Cut as a traditional 3/2 sack, this features two front patch pockets, the classic two button cuffs, and a single hook vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA. Perfect for warmer weather, this is half-lined. It does have a couple of minor flaws; there's some minor shine to the collar at the back, and a tiny rub spot on the edge of one cuff; it could also use a dry-clean just to freshen it up. As such, it's in Very Good condition, and would make a terrific go-to blazer for less formal occasions.
I would keep this... But I really don't need seven 3/2 sack blazers in addition to the embarrassingly large number of tweeds that I also own!
Asking a very cheap $24, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS. International inquiries welcome, with shipping at cost. If this is your (rare) size, grab it!
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/4
Sleeve: 26 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 32 1/2
