1) Made in the UK BEAUTIFUL & CLASSIC Basketweave Harris Tweed.
This is wonderful, and I wish that it fit me! This is a beautiful Harris Tweed in the increasing rare and yet very versatile basketweave weave in the absolutely classic black, grey, and cream colourway. This jacket is subtly darted, and has a contemporary two-button closure. It appears to be half-canvassed, and is fully lined. It features twin vents, as befits its English heritage, and was Made in the UK. The buttons are all metal-shanked. This jacket is in absolutely excellent condition!
Asking just $49 > 45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
Tagged 42L, but this measures more like a 38 or 40L. Measurements:

Sleeve: 27 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 32
2) GORGEOUS Harris Tweed in "Lavendar" Basketweave.
SOLD
This is absolutely wonderful! A "lavendar" Harris tweed isn't actually made from lavendar coloured yarns, but, rather, presents as having a beautiful lavender-grey colouring as a result of the colourings of the yarns that make up the weave, in this case a medley of burnished chestnut, dark blue, slate blue-grey, and tan. Lavendar Harris tweeds are among my favorites, and are very rare indeed--this is only the third I've come across in many years! My pictures don't do this jacket justice at all!
However, what does do this jacket justice are its cut and construction! Cut as a contemporary two-button jacket this is subtly darted and has a single centre vent. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a full complement of leather-covered metal-shanked "football" buttons in burnished chestnut. This jacket was Union Made in the USA for Lord & Taylor, and is in excellent condition, apart from some fading to the Union tag inside the interior pocket.
Asking just $45, or offer.

Chest: 20
Sleeve: 23 1/2(+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 1/2
Length: 29
3) MADE IN THE USA Country Tweed Jacket with patch pockets!
This is a lovely country tweed! Cut from a beautifully textured brown herringbone tweed that's flecked throughout with nubs of cream, burnished chestnut, russetm Royal blue, russet, and pumpkin orange and peat black, this is a very interesting little jacket indeed. It features the ever-desirable patch pockets--nice and deep and unflapped and so eminently practical, and a twin vent, true to its country heritage. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a contemporary two button front with subtle darting. It has a full complement of leather-covered, metal-shanked buttons in burnished chestnut.
This jacket was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition. Indeed, it is poissibly unworn, since the twin vent is still basted shut!
Asking just $35 > 29, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 20
Sleeve: 25 3/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18 1/4

4) Lovely Guncheck in Spring-Weight cloth.
This is a lovely guncheck that's perfect for Spring! Cut from a lighter-weight wool, this beautiful jacket features a classic guncheck pattern, with a houndstooth base of forest green, black, and taupe, with a russet and Royal blue overcheck. Made by Hunter Haig, this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It features a single centre vent, and is a contemporary two-button front model with subtle darting. It was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.
Asking just $40 > 35, or offer.

Chest: 22 1/8
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 19 1/2

5) CLASSIC Herringbone and basketweave tweed jacket with overchecking by Corbin.
SOLD
This is wonderful! The tweed of this jacket consists of alternating strips of herringbone and basketweave, both of which are woven in the same classic black and white colourway. Not only is this an interesting and rare twist on two classic weaves, but the whole is subtly overchecked with single-thread overchecking in Royal Blue and Forest Green (running vertically) and Imperial Purple (running horizontally). Made by Corbin, this is cut as a two button sack jacket; it is half-canvassed and half-lined, and had four-button cuffs. All of the buttons appear to be horn. Corbin, in my view, is one of the great underestimated American clothiers, and this is a lovely jacket! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA. It is in Very Good/Excellent condition.
Asking just $40, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 30 1/2
6) CLASSIC Black and White Herringbone Tweed by Corbin
This is also wonderful! The brother of the jacket posted abovem this is a classic black and white herringbone tweed. Made by Corbin, this is cut as a two button sack jacket; it is half-canvassed and half-lined, and had four-button cuffs. All of the buttons appear to be horn. Corbin, in my view, is one of the great underestimated American clothiers, and this is a lovely jacket! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA. It does have a small flaw: There is some discoloration to the tweed by the top buttonhole, as shown; this is very minor and can only really be found on close inspection, but because of this this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and so is a steal at just
$29 > 25, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 24 7/8 (+ 1 3/4)

7) MADE IN ENGLAND Spring Guncheck Jacket, with ticket pocket!
This is wonderful, and absolutely perfect for Spring! Cut from a lightweight Superfine wool woven in Huddersfield, England--deep in the heart of the British woolen industry--this wonderful jacket has a terrific patterning and colourway. The base is a black and white Shepard's check, which is complemented by subtle windowpane overchecking in russet and Royal Blue. The jacket itself is fully lined in a beautiful golden wheat lining, and it is half-canvassed. It features a dual vent, as well as a fully functional ticket pocket--or, at least, the ticket pocket will be fully functional once the basting closing it has been removed... the same going for the two front pockets, which also are still basted shut. This lovely jacket was Made in England, and is in absolutely excellent condition--as you can surmise from the pockets still being unopened!
Asking just $50 > 45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Shoulder: 19 1/2

8) ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HARRIS TWEED JACKET! Likely UNWORN!
This is absolutely gorgeous--Harris Tweed as it should be! Cut from a Harris Tweed that has the heft that you'd expect from this famous fabric, the colourway and patterning do full justice to the weight and quality of the cloth. The base is a wonderful and complex and increasingly rare barleycorn pattern in beige and autumn brown; this is beautifully complemented by classic vertical Harris striping in Royal Blue and Bracken Russet. This jacket is cut as a contemporary two-button model, with subtle darting. It is half-lined, and features a single center vent. The buttons are all metal-shanked.
Moreover--all of the front pockets are stiull basted shut, so this is likely unworn--or worn very, very sparingly!
It was Made in the USA.
And there's more, for this jacket was sold at Pomeroy's Department store in Reading, PA. Pomeroy's was a landmark in central PA for decades; it opened under another name in 1876, and became Pomeroy's when George Pomeroy bought out his partners in 1923. From then on, it became famous for its Tea Room, for the 6th floor Toy Department with visits by Santa at Christmas--and, of course, its classic clothing. Pomeroy's closed in 1990, making this jacket at least 25 years old. However, you couldn't tell that just by looking at it, since it's in absolutely excellent condition.
Given the provenance, quality, and sheer beauty of this jacket, it's a steal at just $60 > 50, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 25 3/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 31
9) J. Press Glen Plaid 3/2 sack. Absolutely beautiful!
SOLD
This jacket is absolutely beautiful! Made for J. Press, this is a classic 3/2 sack jacket in a wonderful Glen Plaid tweed. The base colorway is a lovely grass green and taupe medley, with the vertical striping being a beautiful summer yellow and the horizontal striping being Royal Blue and Russet. This really is a strikingly beautiful jacket!
It is from Press' "Presstige" line, and so is half-canvassed and fully lined. It is cut as a 3/2 sack (with the lapel cut so that the top button and top buttonhole "roll" over, turning a three button jacket to one with a two button closure--the classic Ivy League look of the Golden Age!), and has a single centre vent. The buttons are likely horn. And, yes, it has the traditional two-button cuff!
It was Union Made in the USA, and features hand tailoring. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $65, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 26 (+2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 31 1/4.
10) WONDERFUL Vintage 3/2 tweed sack in classic 1960s green herringbone!
SOLD
This is a wonderful vintage jacket! It has all of the details that you'd want in a jacket from the Golden Era; it's a 3/2 sack with a lovely fluid lapel roll, it has a lapped centre seam and a single hook vent, it's half-canvassed and half-lined, and it has lovely narrow lapels. It also features a classic 1950s - 1960s colourway; a wonderful combination of two different greens in its herringbone weave, which provide a beautiful subdued colourway that's so classically Golden Age, and which as far as I know is never found anymore. And, moreover, this is complemented by wonderful emerald-coloured buttons--two to each cuff, as there should be! Plus, it has patch pockets! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA.
And to make this jacket even more interesting it's from Doutrich's.
Doutrich's opened in 1908, and quickly established itself as THE premier clothing store in Harrisburg, Pa. Part of its success was owed to the high quality of tailoring on the premises, as well as to its active recruitment as customers of college men, with its Campus Togs store early in its life, and then the University Store--from where this jacket hails. Doutrich's is one of the few store prominent enough to be featured in novels--Jackson Taylor's The Blue Orchard mentions it in connection with who can, and cannot, try on clothes!
This is a wonderful piece of Americana, and utterly wearable. There is some fading to the lining commensurate with its age, as shown, hence it's in Very Good/Excellent condition.
Asking just $49 or offer, for this gem!
Measurements:
Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/8
Length: 30 1/4
11) Vintage 3/2 sack blazer in VERY dark green--with three patch pockets!
SOLD
This is wonderful! First, it's a vintage jacket that, judging by the Union label, hails directly from the Golden Age of Ivy Style. Second, it's cut from a wonderful, soft flannel that's a very, very dark green--extremely dark green, think depths of the Black Forest dark green. And, of course, it's a classic 3/2 sack, with lovely narrow lapels--as you'd expect from a jacket of this vintage. It also has the ever-desirable and very rare three patch pocket configuration. It's fully canvassed, and half-lined; the lining is a classic 1960s lining, too! It also features all of its original brass-colored buttons--two to each sleeve--and a single centre vent.
It was, of course, Union Made in the USA-for Bamberger's Store, another great and now defunct American department store.
Owing to its age this jacket is in Very Good/Excellent condition--it has a single spot in the lining, as shown-and is a steal at
just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 25 (+1)
Shoulder: 18 3/4
Length: 29 1/2
12) GORGEOUS Vintage Dark Brown Mongolian Cashmere 3/2 sack Jacket!
SOLD
This is gorgeous! First, it's a vintage cashmere jacket, and so it's cut from extremely thick and luxurious Mongolian cashmere, not the thin stuff that's so common nowadays. It's also a beautiful, dark, rich brown--my pictures don't do it justice at all! This is a 3/2 sack, with a lovely fluid lapel roll--and it also has the beautifully narrow lapels that were so typical of the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It is half-canvassed, and half-lined. It has a single centre vent, and, of course, two button cuffs. It also has a VERY cool interior lapel advertising that it is cut from Superfine Mongolian Cashmere, and it was Union Made in the USA during the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It has very natural shoulders.
This does, however, have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is chipped, as shown. Second, it has two small snag spots on one sleeve, by the shoulder and near the cuff, as shown. Last, it has some loose stitching in the lining by the vent--but I'll have this repaired prior to shipping. Given these minor flaws this is in Very Good condition.
As such, this is a bargain at just $65, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 20 1/4
Sleeve: 24 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 1/2
Length: 27 1/2
13) Lovely Custom Made 3/2 sack in brown herringbone tweed.
This is a terrific jacket! Cut from a classic brown and cream herringbone tweed, this is cut as a classic 3/2 sack, with a very high lapel roll--almost a 3/2.5 rather than a 3/2. The lapel roll is beautifully fluid--one of the nicest I've seen--and it has very natural shoulders. This is clearly a custom-made jacket, possibly by a local Princeton tailor given its provenance; it carries no store or Union lapels of any kind. It appears to be fully canvassed, and is quarter-lined. It features suede elbow patches, and leather reinforcements at the cuffs--this is a jacket that's built to last! It has a single centre vent. It has a little bit of wear to the corner of one interior pocket, as shown, and some wear to the leather cuff edges, as shown, otherwise it's in excellent condition.
Asking just $35 > 30, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 20 1/4
Sleeve: 24 (+2)
Shoulder: 17 1/2

Made for The English Shop of Princeton, one of the Big Five purveyors of Ivy Style clothes in Princeton during the Golden Era (the others being Langrock, Hilton, Ballot, The Princeton Clothing Co), this lovely jacket was made by H. Freeman, one of the great traditional American clothiers. The tweed is beautiful--a lovely base in complementary browns with windowpane overchecking in sky blue and Royal blue. Perfect for Spring's cooler days! It has a very natural shoulder.
This is cut as a 3/2 sack, and it has a lovely lapel roll. It appears to be fully canvassed, and is half-lined. It features three button cuffs and a single centre vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA--just down the road from Princeton in Philadelphia, since this is a H. Freeman jacket! Apart from some loose stitching in the vent--which I'll have repaired--it's in excellent condition.

15) STUNNING Vintage Orange Plaid Jacket. Made in Hong Kong!
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 $40 > 35, or offer.

19) The English Shop of Princeton 3/2 sack in cord by Corbin.
This is a terrific little gem! Made in the USA by Corbin for The English Shop of Princeton--one of the Big Four Ivy clothiers during the Golden Era of Ivy Style--this is a classic 3/2 sack, which features three patch pockets at the front--a very rare and desirable combination! The buttons are all natural horn; it features three on the front, and three on each sleeve. It is fully canvassed, and half-lined, and has a single centre vent.
Alas, this jacket has seen some wear. There is some minor sun fading on the sleeves and shoulders, and some brown foxing on the lapel at the roll, as shown, as well as more minor foxing by the hem on the front and on on the left sleeve. Despite these issues this is still very wearable, although it is in Good condition only. Because of these issues this is priced very low, given its provenance and the fact that it has a complete set of horn buttons, and so is just $20, or offer.

20) VINTAGE 3/2 sack in light loden twill
This is a SPLENDID jacket! Cut from a lovely thick twill in a light loden green, this beauty is a true 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll. It dates from between 1962 and 1972, judging by the Union Label, and was sold by Roots, one of the major purveyors of tradly items in New Jersey and Eastern PA. (And this has a wonderful vintage label from there!) It has a lovely lapel roll, and the twill is wonderfully durable and attractive--almost like keeper's tweed, except all-wool and with no cotton content. It has classic two button cuffs, and is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has a single centre vent. And, of course it was Made in the USA.
This is in excellent condition, except for one minor flaw.... Sometime around 1978 the original owner left two things in the lower left pocket: a list of instructions from one of his clients (he was a lawyer), which were typed out on a manual typewriter.... and some candy! Unfortunately, the candy "leaked" into the lining of the pocket, which is now stiff and candified. (And possibly edible.) This has no effect on the jacket, but my advice would be to have the pocket liner replaced--a simple and easy job for any competent dry-cleaner tailor.
Given this, this jacket is in Very Good condition overall, and hence is very well priced at just
$32 > 28, or offer.

My pictures do not do this justice at all! The lapel is cut as a 3/2, but this does have subtle darting--it is, after all, an Italian jacket!

33) Corneliani Blazer!
SOLD
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.

This jacket is subtly darted, and has a contemporary two-button closure. It appears to be half-canvassed, and is fully lined. It features twin vents, as befits its English heritage, and was Made in the UK. The buttons are all metal-shanked. This jacket is in absolutely excellent condition!

2) GORGEOUS Harris Tweed in "Lavendar" Basketweave.
SOLD
This is absolutely wonderful! A "lavendar" Harris tweed isn't actually made from lavendar coloured yarns, but, rather, presents as having a beautiful lavender-grey colouring as a result of the colourings of the yarns that make up the weave, in this case a medley of burnished chestnut, dark blue, slate blue-grey, and tan. Lavendar Harris tweeds are among my favorites, and are very rare indeed--this is only the third I've come across in many years! My pictures don't do this jacket justice at all!
However, what does do this jacket justice are its cut and construction! Cut as a contemporary two-button jacket this is subtly darted and has a single centre vent. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a full complement of leather-covered metal-shanked "football" buttons in burnished chestnut. This jacket was Union Made in the USA for Lord & Taylor, and is in excellent condition, apart from some fading to the Union tag inside the interior pocket.
Asking just $45, or offer.

This is a lovely country tweed! Cut from a beautifully textured brown herringbone tweed that's flecked throughout with nubs of cream, burnished chestnut, russetm Royal blue, russet, and pumpkin orange and peat black, this is a very interesting little jacket indeed. It features the ever-desirable patch pockets--nice and deep and unflapped and so eminently practical, and a twin vent, true to its country heritage. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a contemporary two button front with subtle darting. It has a full complement of leather-covered, metal-shanked buttons in burnished chestnut.
This jacket was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition. Indeed, it is poissibly unworn, since the twin vent is still basted shut!

5) CLASSIC Herringbone and basketweave tweed jacket with overchecking by Corbin.
SOLD
This is wonderful! The tweed of this jacket consists of alternating strips of herringbone and basketweave, both of which are woven in the same classic black and white colourway. Not only is this an interesting and rare twist on two classic weaves, but the whole is subtly overchecked with single-thread overchecking in Royal Blue and Forest Green (running vertically) and Imperial Purple (running horizontally). Made by Corbin, this is cut as a two button sack jacket; it is half-canvassed and half-lined, and had four-button cuffs. All of the buttons appear to be horn. Corbin, in my view, is one of the great underestimated American clothiers, and this is a lovely jacket! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA. It is in Very Good/Excellent condition.
Asking just $40, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

6) CLASSIC Black and White Herringbone Tweed by Corbin
This is also wonderful! The brother of the jacket posted abovem this is a classic black and white herringbone tweed. Made by Corbin, this is cut as a two button sack jacket; it is half-canvassed and half-lined, and had four-button cuffs. All of the buttons appear to be horn. Corbin, in my view, is one of the great underestimated American clothiers, and this is a lovely jacket! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA. It does have a small flaw: There is some discoloration to the tweed by the top buttonhole, as shown; this is very minor and can only really be found on close inspection, but because of this this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and so is a steal at just
$29 > 25, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

7) MADE IN ENGLAND Spring Guncheck Jacket, with ticket pocket!
This is wonderful, and absolutely perfect for Spring! Cut from a lightweight Superfine wool woven in Huddersfield, England--deep in the heart of the British woolen industry--this wonderful jacket has a terrific patterning and colourway. The base is a black and white Shepard's check, which is complemented by subtle windowpane overchecking in russet and Royal Blue. The jacket itself is fully lined in a beautiful golden wheat lining, and it is half-canvassed. It features a dual vent, as well as a fully functional ticket pocket--or, at least, the ticket pocket will be fully functional once the basting closing it has been removed... the same going for the two front pockets, which also are still basted shut. This lovely jacket was Made in England, and is in absolutely excellent condition--as you can surmise from the pockets still being unopened!
Asking just $50 > 45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

8) ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HARRIS TWEED JACKET! Likely UNWORN!
This is absolutely gorgeous--Harris Tweed as it should be! Cut from a Harris Tweed that has the heft that you'd expect from this famous fabric, the colourway and patterning do full justice to the weight and quality of the cloth. The base is a wonderful and complex and increasingly rare barleycorn pattern in beige and autumn brown; this is beautifully complemented by classic vertical Harris striping in Royal Blue and Bracken Russet. This jacket is cut as a contemporary two-button model, with subtle darting. It is half-lined, and features a single center vent. The buttons are all metal-shanked.
Moreover--all of the front pockets are stiull basted shut, so this is likely unworn--or worn very, very sparingly!
It was Made in the USA.
And there's more, for this jacket was sold at Pomeroy's Department store in Reading, PA. Pomeroy's was a landmark in central PA for decades; it opened under another name in 1876, and became Pomeroy's when George Pomeroy bought out his partners in 1923. From then on, it became famous for its Tea Room, for the 6th floor Toy Department with visits by Santa at Christmas--and, of course, its classic clothing. Pomeroy's closed in 1990, making this jacket at least 25 years old. However, you couldn't tell that just by looking at it, since it's in absolutely excellent condition.
Given the provenance, quality, and sheer beauty of this jacket, it's a steal at just $60 > 50, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

9) J. Press Glen Plaid 3/2 sack. Absolutely beautiful!
SOLD
This jacket is absolutely beautiful! Made for J. Press, this is a classic 3/2 sack jacket in a wonderful Glen Plaid tweed. The base colorway is a lovely grass green and taupe medley, with the vertical striping being a beautiful summer yellow and the horizontal striping being Royal Blue and Russet. This really is a strikingly beautiful jacket!
It is from Press' "Presstige" line, and so is half-canvassed and fully lined. It is cut as a 3/2 sack (with the lapel cut so that the top button and top buttonhole "roll" over, turning a three button jacket to one with a two button closure--the classic Ivy League look of the Golden Age!), and has a single centre vent. The buttons are likely horn. And, yes, it has the traditional two-button cuff!
It was Union Made in the USA, and features hand tailoring. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $65, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

10) WONDERFUL Vintage 3/2 tweed sack in classic 1960s green herringbone!
SOLD
This is a wonderful vintage jacket! It has all of the details that you'd want in a jacket from the Golden Era; it's a 3/2 sack with a lovely fluid lapel roll, it has a lapped centre seam and a single hook vent, it's half-canvassed and half-lined, and it has lovely narrow lapels. It also features a classic 1950s - 1960s colourway; a wonderful combination of two different greens in its herringbone weave, which provide a beautiful subdued colourway that's so classically Golden Age, and which as far as I know is never found anymore. And, moreover, this is complemented by wonderful emerald-coloured buttons--two to each cuff, as there should be! Plus, it has patch pockets! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA.
And to make this jacket even more interesting it's from Doutrich's.
Doutrich's opened in 1908, and quickly established itself as THE premier clothing store in Harrisburg, Pa. Part of its success was owed to the high quality of tailoring on the premises, as well as to its active recruitment as customers of college men, with its Campus Togs store early in its life, and then the University Store--from where this jacket hails. Doutrich's is one of the few store prominent enough to be featured in novels--Jackson Taylor's The Blue Orchard mentions it in connection with who can, and cannot, try on clothes!
This is a wonderful piece of Americana, and utterly wearable. There is some fading to the lining commensurate with its age, as shown, hence it's in Very Good/Excellent condition.
Asking just $49 or offer, for this gem!

Chest: 21 3/4

11) Vintage 3/2 sack blazer in VERY dark green--with three patch pockets!
SOLD
This is wonderful! First, it's a vintage jacket that, judging by the Union label, hails directly from the Golden Age of Ivy Style. Second, it's cut from a wonderful, soft flannel that's a very, very dark green--extremely dark green, think depths of the Black Forest dark green. And, of course, it's a classic 3/2 sack, with lovely narrow lapels--as you'd expect from a jacket of this vintage. It also has the ever-desirable and very rare three patch pocket configuration. It's fully canvassed, and half-lined; the lining is a classic 1960s lining, too! It also features all of its original brass-colored buttons--two to each sleeve--and a single centre vent.
It was, of course, Union Made in the USA-for Bamberger's Store, another great and now defunct American department store.
Owing to its age this jacket is in Very Good/Excellent condition--it has a single spot in the lining, as shown-and is a steal at
just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

12) GORGEOUS Vintage Dark Brown Mongolian Cashmere 3/2 sack Jacket!
SOLD
This is gorgeous! First, it's a vintage cashmere jacket, and so it's cut from extremely thick and luxurious Mongolian cashmere, not the thin stuff that's so common nowadays. It's also a beautiful, dark, rich brown--my pictures don't do it justice at all! This is a 3/2 sack, with a lovely fluid lapel roll--and it also has the beautifully narrow lapels that were so typical of the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It is half-canvassed, and half-lined. It has a single centre vent, and, of course, two button cuffs. It also has a VERY cool interior lapel advertising that it is cut from Superfine Mongolian Cashmere, and it was Union Made in the USA during the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It has very natural shoulders.
This does, however, have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is chipped, as shown. Second, it has two small snag spots on one sleeve, by the shoulder and near the cuff, as shown. Last, it has some loose stitching in the lining by the vent--but I'll have this repaired prior to shipping. Given these minor flaws this is in Very Good condition.
As such, this is a bargain at just $65, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

13) Lovely Custom Made 3/2 sack in brown herringbone tweed.
This is a terrific jacket! Cut from a classic brown and cream herringbone tweed, this is cut as a classic 3/2 sack, with a very high lapel roll--almost a 3/2.5 rather than a 3/2. The lapel roll is beautifully fluid--one of the nicest I've seen--and it has very natural shoulders. This is clearly a custom-made jacket, possibly by a local Princeton tailor given its provenance; it carries no store or Union lapels of any kind. It appears to be fully canvassed, and is quarter-lined. It features suede elbow patches, and leather reinforcements at the cuffs--this is a jacket that's built to last! It has a single centre vent. It has a little bit of wear to the corner of one interior pocket, as shown, and some wear to the leather cuff edges, as shown, otherwise it's in excellent condition.
Asking just $35 > 30, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

19) The English Shop of Princeton 3/2 sack in cord by Corbin.
This is a terrific little gem! Made in the USA by Corbin for The English Shop of Princeton--one of the Big Four Ivy clothiers during the Golden Era of Ivy Style--this is a classic 3/2 sack, which features three patch pockets at the front--a very rare and desirable combination! The buttons are all natural horn; it features three on the front, and three on each sleeve. It is fully canvassed, and half-lined, and has a single centre vent.
Alas, this jacket has seen some wear. There is some minor sun fading on the sleeves and shoulders, and some brown foxing on the lapel at the roll, as shown, as well as more minor foxing by the hem on the front and on on the left sleeve. Despite these issues this is still very wearable, although it is in Good condition only. Because of these issues this is priced very low, given its provenance and the fact that it has a complete set of horn buttons, and so is just $20, or offer.

20) VINTAGE 3/2 sack in light loden twill
This is a SPLENDID jacket! Cut from a lovely thick twill in a light loden green, this beauty is a true 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll. It dates from between 1962 and 1972, judging by the Union Label, and was sold by Roots, one of the major purveyors of tradly items in New Jersey and Eastern PA. (And this has a wonderful vintage label from there!) It has a lovely lapel roll, and the twill is wonderfully durable and attractive--almost like keeper's tweed, except all-wool and with no cotton content. It has classic two button cuffs, and is half-canvassed and half-lined. It has a single centre vent. And, of course it was Made in the USA.
This is in excellent condition, except for one minor flaw.... Sometime around 1978 the original owner left two things in the lower left pocket: a list of instructions from one of his clients (he was a lawyer), which were typed out on a manual typewriter.... and some candy! Unfortunately, the candy "leaked" into the lining of the pocket, which is now stiff and candified. (And possibly edible.) This has no effect on the jacket, but my advice would be to have the pocket liner replaced--a simple and easy job for any competent dry-cleaner tailor.
Given this, this jacket is in Very Good condition overall, and hence is very well priced at just
$32 > 28, or offer.

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. It's slightly rumpled and so needs a press, but otherwise it's in excellent condition, and is a bargain at
just $18, or offer.

29) Basketweave tweed by Barrister for Wallach's.
Tweeds made for Wallach's by Barrister were the workhorses of their time--the East Coast Ivy equivalent of the British Dunn & Co. tweeds across the pond--although admittedly less hairy and robust than their British equivalents! This is a lovely example, being cut from a lovely basketweave tweed in charcoal, slate grey,a and petrol blue, with burnished chestnut leather-covered and metal shanked football buttons, a two button front, and subtle darting. It is half-lined, and features a single centre vent. It was Union made in the USA on February 21st, 1985--and is in excellent condition!
Asking just $16, or offer.

32) NWOT Flusser jacket in SIlk!
This is lovely! Cut from a wonderfully heavy silk, this jacket features a beautiful vintage tea rose pink lining, and pick stitching throughout the lining seams, also. It appears half-canvassed, and is NWOT--all of the pockets are still basted shut, and it still has its original lapel buttonhole hangtag. As such, it is in excellent condition--although please do note that the sleeves appears to have been professionally altered. It is fully lined, and features a single centre vent. This is a beautiful jacket, and is a steal at
just $30, or offer.

33) Corneliani Blazer!
SOLD
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 $18, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are very welcome--and lower offers are very welcome, too!
