Chester Barrie jacket (38), Borrelli shirt (15), HTweed (38), ties, etc.

NOTE: All prices include Priority Mail postage. First up is this really awesome Chester Barrie jacket. The gentleman I purchased it from told me it was pure cashmere, but it feels more like a wool/cashmere blend. Can't really say for sure, but the fabric has a great hand either way. It's a nice barleycorn-esque pattern of brown and light blue (hard to see in pics, but it is in fact blue). Great button stance, high gorge, side vents. Classic Barrie silhouette; the shoulders are rather soft. Two button front. Price is $65 shipped anywhere in the CONUS. First picture is a near-perfect representation of the color. Spots are from my camera, coat is in mint condition. And I don't mean prayerwarrior mint. Next up is a cool-looking (dare I say..."hip?") Harris Tweed jacket. Made by Dunn & Co. It has side vents, ticket pocket, 3roll2.5 front. Nice leather covered buttons. Hard-wearing tweed that will last a lifetime. Price is $33 shipped in the CONUS. Next up are three very serviceable ties. From L to R: Hilditch & Key printed paisley, Brooks Basics woven (don't let the "crappy diffusion line" name fool you, this is very weighty silk and it makes a fabulous dimple) and Talbott Best of Class woven. $13 shipped per tie in the CONUS. If interested in a group buy, I'll give you a good deal. This Borrelli shirt is really cool. Up 'till I believe the 80's, Brooks and J. Press made popover OCBD's. That is, the placket runs about halfway down the shirt and it is put on over the head like a sweater. Borrelli likes to take cues from classic Americana, so it's no surprise they did a popover. Collar is a moderate spread, and the fabric is a silky lightweight cotton. There is a small rip on the right-side body seam (I will post a pic) which is easily repairable because it is...well, on a seam. An inexpensive alteration. Shirt features MoP buttons, square-cut front and back, barrel cuffs. All the hallmarks of a Borrelli shirt. Because this is an unusual style, I'm going to offer it cheap. $40 shipped and it is yours.

I have *exactly* the same jacket from Dunn & Co. Its very shaped: soft shoulders, tons of waist suppression, nice open quarters. Great jacket.

With a wardrobe like that it is incomprehensible that you are not landing 19-20 year old girls on a regular basis.

That was a very nice tweed.

It's a lot like the tweed of my "Apparel Arts" overcoat that I just sold.
