I have a series of beautiful jackets to pass on today, including a stunning orange, white, and black plaid, some wonderful Harris Tweed, including a Harris Tweed 3/2 sack, some vintage 3/2 sacks, and more!
As always, I offer FREE SHIPPING IN EVERYTHING IN THE USA, with International inquiries welcome, and shipping at cost.
Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
1) STUNNING orange plaid sack jacket!
This is simply lovely, and perfect for those of you that have orange as a school colour, such as Princeton or Syracuse! Made in Hong Kong, this has no fabric content listed, but it's clearly wool. The colourway and patterning are wonderful--I'll let my pictures do the talking here. This is a two button sack jacket, with two button cuffs; all of the buttons are brass-coloured and crested. It is half-lined. It has a single centre vent, and is in absolutely excellent condition, although it is clearly vintage.
This is a steal at just $49, or offer.
Tagged a 42S, this measures:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+1)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 28 3/4
2) Basketweave Harris Tweed by Kuppenheimer
This is a lovely jacket! A contemporary two button model with subtle darting, this is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has four button cuffs and a single centre vent. The buttons are all leather-covered and metal-shanked--as they should be with Harris Tweed!--and they have just the right amount of patina. The tweed is wonderful; at first sight, it presents as a standard grey/black.cream basketweave, but closer inspection reveals that it is flecked throughout with chestnut brown, sky blue, corn yellow, and forest green--a lovely subtle Harris! It has lovely natural shoulders. This was Made in the USA. It's in excellent condition.
Asking just $45, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 24 (+1)
Shoulder: 17 1/2
Length: 29 3/4
3) STUNNING VINTAGE Glen Plaid 3/2 sack Tweed from Princeton University Store--with amusing interior label, and BASTED POCKETS!
This is wonderful! First, the colourway--this is a striking and beautiful Glen Plaid in grey and black, with a lovely bold dark cranberry overcheck. The tweed is thick, and yet still soft, with a lovely hand and drape. The jacket is cut as a 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll; it has a single centre vent, and is half lined and fuly canvassed. It dates from around the early 1960s, although since the Union lapel is partially sewn in it's hard to pinpoint this with more accuracy. It was sold by the Princeton University Store, establishing its Ivy credentials, and carries the wonderful interior label "PhD--Philosophy of Dress"! Unusually for a jacket that's clearly been worn, the two front pockets are basted shut--so you could be the first owner to open them up in almost 50 years!
Despite its age, this jacket has worn exceedingly well. There is some minor wear to the edging of the interior pockets, as shown, and there are some pen marks in the lining above one pocket. It could use a dry clean just to freshen it up, but this should be conservatively ranked as being in Very Good condition.
It was, of course, Made in the USA.
Asking just $45, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 25 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 30 3/4
4) MADE IN ENGLAND SHAWL COLLAR LAMBSWOOL JACKET!
SOLD
This is simply wonderful-and the first jacket of its kind that I've ever seen! (And I have seen a LOT of jackets...) Made in England for Norm Thompson of Portland, Oregon, this is an exceptional rarity--a very unstructured shawl collared tweed jacket! Almost completely unstructured, this appears to be a relative of the classic American shirt jacket--except this was Made in England, no doubt by some very bemused English tailors. It is cut as a two button jacket, but the collar is designed to be a 2/1 roll, giving a very cool and casual shawl collar effect--although, strictly speaking, this is a notch lapel jacket with a high gorge.
The cloth is a lovely soft lambswool, with a beautiful hand and drape--as you'd expect from a jacket like this. The colourway and patterning are wonderful--a classic grey herringbone base with windowpaning of Royal blue and sky blue; beautiful! The jacket has two front patch pockets, three button cuffs, and a single centre vent. It is half-lined in its own exterior cloth, which gives a very pleasing effect when the jacket is removed. It also has two interior pockets, one of which is a zippered security pocket, and a fully functional concealed throat latch. This is simply packet with features! It's in absolutely excellent condition.
Asking just $50, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 24 1/4
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 20
Length: 33
5) Basketweave American Country Tweed with Functional Throat Latch!
SOLD
This is terrific! Made in the USA from American-reared wool, this is a classic country basketweave jacket, with a brown and cream base and fleckings of Royal blue throughout. Cut as a contemporary two button model, this has classic leather-covered and metal shanked buttons, and features four button cuffs. It is half canvassed, half-lined, and has a single centre vent. It also features two desirable flapped patch pockets at the front, and a fully functioning throat latch. This jacket is in absolutely excellent condition; it is either completely unworn, or was worn very sparingly and carefully; you'd never guess it was made between 1968 and 1976.
Asking just $35, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18 3/4
Length: 30
6) THIS IS SPECIAL! Harris Tweed 3/2 sack.
Although the classic Ivy jacket is clearly the 3/2 sack, and the classic Ivy jacket material is Harris Tweed, 3/2 sacks in Harris Tweed are surprisingly rare, so if you find one in your size, grab it! That goes triple for this jacket, as the tweed is wonderful--a classic slate-blue herringbone, shot through the the classic vertical Harris striping, in this case a lovely tearose pink and light rose yellow.. The buttons are all leather-covered and metal-shanked, and the jacket is half-lined and half-canvassed. It has a lovely lapel roll, and a single centre vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and was sold at a Marblehead, Mass. clothier that was founded in 1925. It is in absolutely excellent condition!
Asking just $50 for this little gem!
Measurements:
Chest: 21
Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 30 1/4
7) Flecked Basketweave Harris Tweed
This is lovely! Cut from a classic light brown and cream basketweave Harris Tweed, the tweed is flecked throughout with pumpkin orange and berry red, which gives it a lovely colourway and very interesting texture. This is a contemporary two button model with subtle darting; all of the buttons are leather-covered and metal shanked. This is half-lined, and has a single center vent. It was Made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition. It has very natural shoulders.
Asking just $35, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 1/2
Length: 32
8) GORGEOUS PURE CASHMERE JACKET by Hickey Freeman.
This is absolutely wonderful! Cut from pure cashmere, this gorgeous jacket is exceptionally luxurious. It is fully lined and appears to be fully canvassed. It is the Hickey Freeman Regent model, which is a contemporary two button model with four button cuffs. It has a single centre vent, and was Made in the USA. This is is absolutely excellent condition, and is a steal at
just $65, or offer.

9) GORGEOUS Vintage 3/2 sack in Forest Green Herringbone
SOLD
This is WONDERFUL! Cut from a herringbone cloth in a wonderful dark forest green of the sort that is classically 1950s/1960s and is almost never seen nowadays, this jacket also has wonderfully golden chestnut striping throughout, making it an exceptionally visually appealing jacket. And its cut matches its patterning and colourway; it is a classic 3/2 sack, with a lovely fluid lapel roll, and two button cuffs. The pockets are flapped, and it features a centre lapped seam down the back, and a single hooked vent. It is half-canvassed and half-lined. It is in excellent condition, except for a small fray inside the lining at the top of the shoulder. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and has lovely natural shoulders.
This is a really beautiful jacket, classically vintage from the Golden Era of Ivy Style, and in remarkable condition. It's a steal at just $49, or offer.

10) STUNNING Plaid 3/2 sack with BAKELITE HUNTING DOG BUTTONS!
This is GORGEOUS! I'm loathe to part with this, but I have to admit that it just doesn't fit me properly--if it did, of it it could be tailored to fit, there's no way that it would be here.
The patterning and colouring are terrific--I'll let the pictures here speak for themselves! WHat yoiu can't tell from the pictures is that the cloth is wonderful--wool, but with a gorgeously soft hand and texture, that's almost flannel-like. This is a very luxurious jacket indeed! This is cut as a 3/2 sack, with a lovely liquid lapel roll. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, with a single centre vent. The shoulders are wonderfuly natural. And the buttons are FANTASTIC--my pictures don't do them justice at all. Creamy and smooth, they appear to be horn, but are actually more likely to be very fine Bakelite--and they feature a bas-relief of a standing hunting dog!
This really is a beautiful jacket, and I'm sorry to let it go....
Asking just $60, or offer.
