Dear Folks:

During this lull in the ebay season, I am making a special offer on the forums.

Before I re-launch my auctions in the new year, I am making some items available to forum members only at newly discounted prices.

These are all new- first quality coats, suits and blazers from J. Press. Some may have labels marked to prevent return to the store, but these are unworn and flawless items.

All are 3-roll-2 button fronts with minimal shaping.

Prices on all blazers and coats is $100 including shipping. This is one third less than the last ebay price. When they return to ebay, they will start at $100 plus shipping, and you will have to wait and bid against any and all.

Suits are $150 including shipping.

J Press tweed coats at the Presstige level retail for $525, so these are a great value.

For international shipping on blazer and coats, add 15. For suits, add 17. Shipping to Canada is less; email for rates. Google checkout preferred, paypal accepted. USPS Money order accepted as well for US customers.


The list:

NEW $525 J. PRESS classic trad GREEN TWEED COAT 40 S
On offer here is a classic tweed coat. J. Press loves tweed, and has long relationships with well known weavers like Magee and those of Harris and the anonymous weavers represented here. This fabric has blue, green, brown and tan for a rich grass green effect.
This is a tweed to fall in love with.
J. Press coats are very durable and outlast most men.
Retail on this coat is $525. My starting bid is considerably less.
Measurements, in inches: top to bottom in back including collar 30.5, shoulder 18, arm 25.5. Chest 44, coat waist 41. Three button front. Three buttons on each sleeve. Single rear vent. All wool.

ON HOLD pending payment


NEW $825 J PRESS classic trad PLAID WOOL SUIT 48 XL
On offer here is the classic suit model made of imported wool with a blue, green and red plaid on a brown and tan ground. It has a three button front rolling to the second button and a single rear vent. The shaping is minimal; I have pinned it to the dress form but it is in fact a classic sack suit. The pants have a flat front and a straight leg. They are unhemmed.
Retail on this coat is $825. My starting bid is considerably less.
Measurements, in inches: top to bottom in back including collar 35.5, shoulder 20, arm 27.5, chest 51, coat waist 48. Three button front. Three buttons on each sleeve. Single rear vent. Fully lined.

NEW $825 J. PRESS classic WOOL TWILL SUIT size 40 S

On offer here is a classic suit on Press' 3 button model. The waist suppression is minimal, and the pants have a flat front. The fabric is a brown and tan wool twill, which is exceptionally long wearing and is suitable in all but the warmest days of the year.

This particular suit was tailored for a client who then never picked it up. So although the sleeves and pant legs have been altered, they may easily be altered again to your own measurements.

Retail on this suit is $825. My starting bid is considerably less.

Measurements, in inches: Top to bottom in back including collar 31, shoulder 18.5, arm 23 with at least 2.5 to let out. Chest 44, coat waist 42. Three button front. Three button on each sleeve. All wool. Fully lined. Single rear vent. Pants waist 39, with 0 to let out; I believe the original waist was between 34 and 36 and may easily be restored to that size. Outseam 38, inseam 28. 1.75 inch cuff. If you let out the cuff you will gain 3.5 inches, and even a 'false cuff' that looks the same from the outside (ask your tailor) should net you two inches or more. Pant leg 19 at ankle. Suit made in USA. Excellent condition, new without tag.

I figured out the "trick" is to click on "go advanced" and you can edit the post otherwise it your revision sits there for about 8 hours and never gets posted.

No chance you have a 38S hiding out somewhere?

I'm interested in the J PRESS classic trad PLAID WOOL SUIT 48 XL but I'm normally a 50L. The 51" chest would probably be O.K. except for the shoulders are likely to narrow at 20" (I normally need 21-22"). This would draw the sleeves up, which would be O.K. as the sleeve length is more than adequate. I'm concerned about the shoulder fit (aside from its affect on the arm/sleeve) more than anything else. Perhaps I've answered the question myself, but might be willing to take a chance given the price. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
JKE
