Cut for The English Shop of Princeton (one of the Big Four Ivy menswear shops in Princeton, of which only Hilton survives) by that icon of Ivy style H. Freeman of Philadelphia, this wonderful half-canvassed tweed is a classic 3/2 sack with the traditional two-button cuffs. The buttons are leather-covered and metal shanked. The tweed is absolutely beautiful--dark charcoal grey with a lovely subtle windowpane; the vertical stripes are burnished golden brown of autumn bracken, and the horizontal stripes are very pale tea-rose dusty pink. The jacket is half-lined with a single vent. It was, of course, as a H. Freeman Union Made in the USA.
The jacket has had a spot re-woven near the top of the top back of the left shoulder--this is hardly noticeable, and the jacket is otherwise in excellent condition. (I pictured this using a flash, to make it stand out more!) However, owing to this flaw I'm asking just $39 > 35, OR OFFER, boxed and shipped in CONUS. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost!
