1) Polo by Ralph Lauren 3/2 jacket with lapped seams.
This is another very nice unstructured jacket! Made by Polo back when it was good, this is cut from almost a miniature herringbone tweed in classic Donegal-esque pepper and salt colouring. It has a lovely and casual 3/2 lapel roll, although this does have subtle darts and so is not a sack. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a single centre hook vent. It also has a centre lapped seam down the back. It features four button cuffs, and flapped patch pockets. This is a very unstructured jacket, and would be perfect for a causal office, or for the weekend! It's in excellent condition.
Asking just $27 > 25, or offer.

4) BEAUTIFUL 3/2 lapel Cashmere and Wool Italian jacket.
SOLD
This is a lovely little gem! It's cut with a natural and insouciant 3/2 lapel roll, although this does have subtle shapely darts, as you'd expect from Italian tailoring. The cloth is wonderful--a cashmere rich blend of 20/80 cashmere and wool with a lovely hand and drape. The patterning and colourway are likewise lovely; a lovely autumnal glen plaid in browns and tans with a sky blue overcheck. The jacket is unvented, as Flusser would desire, and was Made in Italy.

This is a contemporary two button front jacket with darting. It's fully lined and single vented, and is a lovely muted guncheck pattern in slates and browns. It was Union Made in the USA.

6) GORGEOUS! DONEGAL MIST BY MAGEE!
SOLD
This is absolutely gorgeous!! Donegal Mist is the fabric that J. Press has chosen from its flagship tweeds, and with good reason; this is a gorgeous fabric that's a blend of 5% cashmere, 35% kid mohair, and 60% Donegal wool that's woven in Ireland by a weaver who signs his work on the label--in this case, the cloth was woven by T. Ward. Press also has their jackets made by Magee, the premier Irish tweedmakers--and this jacket was made by them also.
As well as having a lovely hand and drape this tweed is a beautiful autumnal jacket, being a versatile and classic herringbone in dark forest green and dark dark brown. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a two button front and subtle darting. It has twin vents, and was Made in ireland.
This jacket has two very minor flaws, both of which are inside the jacket and so will never be seen when worn; two minor weave faults in the cloth on the interior of the jacket near the shoulder, and on the inside of the vent near the hem; the former is shown. These were likely there from new, but even so this jacket is thus in very Good condition, and so is a steal at
just $32, or offer.

7) CLASSIC & BEAUTIFUL Harris Tweed with elbow patches!
SOLD
This is lovely--an absolute Fall classic, the Harris Tweed in brown herringbone with elbow patches! This is a lovely jacket, in absolutely excellent condition--even the elbow patches are unmarked, which indicates that this was worn sparingly if at all. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features the classic leather-covered metal-shanked football buttons that go so well with Harris. It has a single centre vent, and was made in the USA. Apart from some minor spotting on the lapel INSIDE the interior pocket it's in absolutely excellent condition--this is tweed as it should be!

9) GORGEOUS Corneliani blazer in Extrafine Merino!
JUST $25!
This is absolutely stunning! Cut from beautifully light Super 120's Extrafine Merino wool this wonderful jacket has all of the details that you'd expect from Corneliani. It is fully canvassed, and fully lined. It features an abundance of hand-finished pick stitching on the pockets, the placket, the lapels, and the interior lining seams. It is a contemporary two button jacket with a lovely and elegant lapel roll, and features a twin vent. It was, of course, Made in Italy.
This is absolutely gorgeous!
It does have two minor flaws; there is a small rub mark at the hem on the front, as shown. There's also two very small smudges on the left pocket flap, which will likely come out with dry cleaning. It took me a while to find these, but they are there, and because of this this jacket is just in Very Good condition. As such, I am asking just $35 > 25, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are very welcome--and lower offers are very welcome, too!

10) GORGEOUS NEW WITH TAGS SOUTHWICK SILK/WOOL JACKET! 44L. $650 retail.
This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
This jacket has had its interior Southwick tag removed, but otherwise all of its tags are intact, including its original retail tags. I have full provenance on this jacket, and can attest that it is New With Tags--as such, it is in pristine condition.
Original retail: $650
My asking price: $40, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS. International offers welcome, with shipping at cost.

11) WONDERFUL complex jacket from The English Sports Shop of Bermuda
Long a clothier for vacationing Ivy Leaguers, the English Sports Shop of Bermuda has provided many beautiful items for many people over the years--and this is no exception. Fully lined and fully canvassed, this is clearly lighter-weight wool, although there is no fabric content listed. The colourway is wonderful; a base of Royal blue, peat black, and dark cream, with an overcheck of golden wheat and berry red--my pictures don't do this just at all!
This is a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts. It has a single centre vent. The two front pockets are still basted shut, but it has clearly been worn; there is a small smudge on the lining above the interior pocket. There are also two broken threads on the back, as shown; these would be easy fixes, or just ignored. This is thus in Very Good condition.

6) GORGEOUS! DONEGAL MIST BY MAGEE!
SOLD
This is absolutely gorgeous!! Donegal Mist is the fabric that J. Press has chosen from its flagship tweeds, and with good reason; this is a gorgeous fabric that's a blend of 5% cashmere, 35% kid mohair, and 60% Donegal wool that's woven in Ireland by a weaver who signs his work on the label--in this case, the cloth was woven by T. Ward. Press also has their jackets made by Magee, the premier Irish tweedmakers--and this jacket was made by them also.
As well as having a lovely hand and drape this tweed is a beautiful autumnal jacket, being a versatile and classic herringbone in dark forest green and dark dark brown. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a two button front and subtle darting. It has twin vents, and was Made in ireland.
This jacket has two very minor flaws, both of which are inside the jacket and so will never be seen when worn; two minor weave faults in the cloth on the interior of the jacket near the shoulder, and on the inside of the vent near the hem; the former is shown. These were likely there from new, but even so this jacket is thus in very Good condition, and so is a steal at
just $32, or offer.

7) CLASSIC & BEAUTIFUL Harris Tweed with elbow patches!

Apart from some minor spotting on the lapel INSIDE the interior pocket it's in absolutely excellent condition--this is tweed as it should be!

This is absolutely stunning! Cut from beautifully light Super 120's Extrafine Merino wool this wonderful jacket has all of the details that you'd expect from Corneliani.

It does have two minor flaws; there is a small rub mark at the hem on the front, as shown. There's also two very small smudges on the left pocket flap, which will likely come out with dry cleaning. It took me a while to find these, but they are there, and because of this this jacket is just in Very Good condition. As such, I am asking just $35 > 25, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

10) GORGEOUS NEW WITH TAGS SOUTHWICK SILK/WOOL JACKET! 44L. $650 retail.
This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
This jacket has had its interior Southwick tag removed, but otherwise all of its tags are intact, including its original retail tags. I have full provenance on this jacket, and can attest that it is New With Tags--as such, it is in pristine condition.
Original retail: $650
My asking price: $40, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS. International offers welcome, with shipping at cost.

This is a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts. It has a single centre vent. The two front pockets are still basted shut, but it has clearly been worn; there is a small smudge on the lining above the interior pocket.
