I have three GORGEOUS vintage Trad/Ivy jackets to pass on today--these are quite literally not made anymore, so if they're your size, grab them while you can!
As always, I offer FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING in the US; also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
1) VINTAGE 3/2 jacket with jetted pockets and twin vents.
This is a lovely vintage piece, showing a mixture of styles that form a beautiful whole! First, this has a classic 3/2 lapel roll--although it has subtle darts, so it's not a sack. It also has jetted pockets and twin vents, showing the English influence. There's no country of origin, but I've been informed by mack 1121 that this is an Italian jacket--hence the rather bizarre brand name! It's also half-canvassed and fully lined. The patterning and colourway are wonderful--a classic dark grey and cream barleycorn, with a subtle overcheck in mustard and chestnut. This is also a heavier tweed, and so could readily be used as outerwear. It's in excellent condition, except for two small frays in the lining where it appears that the locker look was removed.
Asking just $40 > 35, or offer, for this very cool jacket!
Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 24 (+2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 29
2) VINTAGE Pre-1962 CLASSIC 3/2 sack with NARROW LAPELS!
SOLD
GORGEOUS!
This is absolutely wonderful! This jacket dates from between 1949 and 1962, given the interior Union label; judging by the Wallach's label inside this dates from the latter part of the 1950s. Where to start? First, the cut; this is a classic 1950s tweed, with a high roll 3/2 lapel and a sack cut, with beautifully narrow lapels--the sort that the current imitators try so hard to get right and so rarely do. This has three button cuffs and a single HOOK vent. This is fully canvassed and half-lined. It has a very natural shoulder.
The colourway is also wonderfully mid-century, being the conservative earthtones that are hardly ever seen anymore. And it's a houndstooth, the pattern beloved of the original 1950s-era hipsters..... It was sold by Wallach's, a store that later morphed into a respectable purveyor of tradly items to the New York suburbanites--precisely the sort of people who commuted in Mad Men! Alas, its continued respectability led to its doom... Wallach's has long gone.
This jacket has no flaws, but it could use a dry clean--and since I'm always conservative in vintage pieces, this is in Very Good condition.
This would cost a fortune on Etsy or on one of the "specialist" online retailers of original TNSIL clothing, but I'm
Asking just $35, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 23 1/4 (+1 3/4)

Length: 28 1/2
3) FANTASTIC VINTAGE PURE CASHMERE JACKET! UTTERLY 1960s!
SOLD
GORGEOUS!
This jacket is simply AWESOME! First, this is a a real CASHMERE jacket, dating from a time when cashmere was CASHMERE--thick, soft, and wonderfully luxurious, not the thin stuff that's so common nowadays. And this jacket has lost none of its softness--this was clearly worn very, very sparingly! Second, the cut--this is an utterly 1960's jacket! It has beautifully narrow lapels with a classic 1960s shaping, a SINGLE button closure, and jetted pockets--this jacket was the epitome of expensive cool c. 1966. It also has single button cuffs--both intact! This jacket is fully canvassed and fully lined, and is unvented, in Flusser-approved style--and completely appropriate for a cashmere jacket of this quality. The colourway is also very 1960s--a complex weave of black and chestnut.
This is an awesome jacket!
It was sold by Arnold Constable's flagship store at Fifth Avenue--the "Palace of Trade", which served New York's elite, including Grover Cleveland, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller. Constable's was thus no ordinary department store, but something seriously special--including being the oldest department store in America when it closed in 1975, having opened in 1825.
This jacket is in very Good/Excellent condition; its only flaw is a small fray in the shoulder lining, as shown.
Asking just $45, or offer.

Chest: 23
Sleeve: 25 (+ 3/4)
Shoulder: 19 3/4
Length: 29 3/4
