1) STUNNING AND RARE! Mid-century ORKNEY Tweed jacket from Austin Reed, Regent Street, London.
Orkney tweed is of just the same quality as Harris--perhaps slightly better, as its hand can be slightly softer with no loss to the durability or ruggedness of the cloth--but is far, far rarer. This jacket, then, is quite a find simply for being made from Orkney.. especially since the wteed is question is a classic wide herringbone in brown and cream!
But there's far more to this jacket than the fact that it's cut from Orkney tweed. This jacket was made in 1955, in Regent Street, London, by Austin Reed, back when they were a serious tailoring operation. You might think that it was made for a senior British civil servant, or a member of the sporting British gentry, up in town to stay at his club for a week while visiting his solicitors. Fair guesses, but wrong. This jacket--and its Harris brother, above--was made for...
...a junior in an American high school.
Now, admittedly the High School in question was the Berkshire School of Massachusetts, one of the best private boarding schools in the country, and the high school student in question was John Francis Consolini, who later attended Georgetown, became a Green Beret, and then pioneered various innovations at JC Penney and elsewhere as a senior executive--but still, imagine a jacket of this quality being made for a high school student today!
And this is indeed a very, very serious and beautiful jacket. This is fully canvassed and fully lined, with a classic British twin vent. It has a classic British three button front, and single button cuffs. It has one deep wallet pocket in the interior, and a spilt pen and pencil pocket on the other side. It does have three minor flaws: (1) It is missing the top button at the front--an easy fix; (2) there is a small snag hole on the front, as shown--this could be fixed easily with either re-weaving or darning; (3) there is the start of a wear fray on one elbow--this calls for elbow patches. (And think--it took over 50 years to wear through this tweed!)
Given these flaws, this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and so is an absolute bargain at just $25 > 22, or offer. And remember--this is a mid-century jacket from London in ORKNEY tweed!

2) WONDERFUL Plaid Tweed from Wanamaker's of Philadelphia.
This is absolutely terrific--the perfect tweed for an Ivy winter! The patterning and colorway are marvellous; a wonderful bold winter plaid in dark navy blue, cream, and slate grey, with a bold crimson overcheck, this is perfect for visiting friends on a crisp winter day at dusk, heading out in your battered Volvo with the dogs and family to pick up a Christmas tree, or just heading in to work on Friday. This jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features the classic leather-covered football buttons with metal shanks. It has a single centre vent, and was Union Made in the USA. It was also sold by Wanamaker's of Philadelphia; the first department store in Philadelphia, and one of the first in the USA, so it has a very nice historical background! It is, of course, in excellent condition, and a steal at just
$35 > 29, or offer.

3) WONDERFUL Pre-1962 Vintage 3/2 sack in 1950s/1960s shadow plaid!
SOLD
This is absolutely terrific! From the interior Union label this jacket was built before 1962, and it's a classic late 1950's early 1960's piece, with all of the elements you'd want from something that comes direct from the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It is, of course, a 3/2 sack with a lovely high and fluid lapel roll; the lapels themselves are beautifully narrow, and utterly vintage. The jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a single centre vent. The patterning and colourway are wonderful--a beautifully dark, subdued 1950's colourway that's almost never seen now, with a wonderful shadow plaid that's overlaid with a pure black overcheck. It has two button cuffs, and was of course, Union Made in the USA. This is a truly lovely, elegant, vintage piece! It does have a small flaw--a small wear mark by one of the buttonholes on the INTERIOR of the jacket, and so this won't be seen when worn. It's also clearly a vintage piece, and so is fairly rated as being in Very Good condition overall.
This would cost a LOT in a vintage niche store specialising in Ivy clothing, or on Etsy, but I'm asking
just $25, or offer!

4) MADE IN ITALY 3/2 Jacket in Cashmere and Wool
This is a lovely jacket! Made in Italy from Italian cloth that's a blend of 90% wool and 10% cashmere with a correspondingly beautiful hand and drape, the cloth is close to a nailhead pattern, with a base of dark brown and the nailheads in rich chestnut brown and dark tan. 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! It is fully canvassed, and fully lined, and is unvented, in Flusser approved style. It features kissing buttons on the cuffs. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $25 > 22, or offer.

5) Deceptively pretty chevron weave tweed jacket!
SOLD
At first sight, this appears to be a standard grey and black tweed--if a little unusual since it's woven in a rare chevron pattern. However, closer examination reveals that this has heathered throughout much smaller chevrons in a delicate sepia tea-rose pink with occasional flecks of blue... this gives a wonderfully subtle glow to the tweed, and keeps you coming back to examine it more closely.
In addition to its lovely colourway this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has a standard two button closure, and is subtly darted. It has three button cuffs and a single centre vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and it's in excellent condition.
Asking just $25, or offer, for this lovely tweed!

6) STUNNING RED AND GREY PLAID TWEED!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I won't even try to describe the red and grey tartan from which this stunning jacket is cut; I'll let the pictures show you!
Apart from the beauty of the robust tartan cloth from which this jacket is cut, it also features beautiful Anglophile tailoring. It has a fully functional ticket pocket in addition to the two main pockets, subtle darting for shaping, and twin vents. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and the lining is a beautiful shade of blue with paisley swirls. It has three button cuffs, and a two button front, as is standard. It retains its ful complement of spare buttons, which are attached to the interior. This is an absolutely beautiful jacket in absolutely excellent condition; it has just been dry-cleaned, and so is ready to go!
Perfect for the holiday season, this is a bargain at just $40 > 35, or offer.

7) WONDERFULLY BOLD plaid tweed!
SOLD
This is a wonderfully bold plaid tweed jacket--absolutely perfect for an Ivy winter in general, and the holiday season in particular!
I'll let the pictures describe this especially lovely and bold plaid tweed, and focus on the jacket itself. This was Union Made in the USA between 1962 and 1976; my guess is that it dates from the late 1960s. It's a standard two button front jacket, with classic Ivy two button cuffs; all of the original buttons are present and firmly attached. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a single centre vent. It's in absolutely excellent condition. The only flaw is that half of the interior label has been removed!
Asking just $30, or offer, for this beauty!

8) VINTAGE 3/2 jacket with jetted pockets and twin vents.
SOLD
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 $25, or offer, for this very cool jacket!

9) CANALI Blazer in a beautiful and complex weave.
This is lovely! Fully canvassed and fully lined with a bemberg lining, this is cut from a beautifully complex and subtle cloth. It appears navy at first glance, then it's clear it's not... and only on close inspection does it become clear that this has a mesh of tan and sky blue pindots patterning over the navy background. This features pick stitching on the placket and the lapels. This has a contemporary three button front, with four button cuffs. It is unvented in Flusser approved style, and was, of course, Made in Italy.
This jacket does have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is snapped; there is a small white mark in the lining, and there is a rub mark at the tip of one cuff. There is also some minor shine to the sleeves from wear. None of these detract from the obvious quality of this jacket, but it is in Good condition only, and hence is a steal at
just $16, or offer.

10) GORGEOUS Flannel Navy Blazer from the tailors of Princess Grace's father!
This is gorgeous! A classic navy two button blazer cut from heavier-weight flannel, this features the always desirable and increasingly rare three patch pockets. This was made by Witlin and Gallagher, the oldest men's clothiers in Philadelphia, and the tailors to John B. Kelly, an impeccably dressed self-made man who was the father of Grace Kelly--later Princess Grace of Monaco. This blazer appears to be fully canvassed and is half-lined. It has gold-toned, crested buttons and a single centre vent. It's in excellent condition, although it could use a dry clean to freshen it up.
Given its quality and provenance this is an absolute steal at just

A lovely sturdy little blazer from Eagle Clothes, this has a contemporary two button front and darting. It also features patch pockets!

This is absolutely exquisite! Made in France by Korn of Paris, this jacket exemplifies the French love of the upper-class English country look.

14) Land's End Lightweight Guncheck.
This is a lovely lightweight all-wool guncheck that would be perfect for a chap living in a warmer climate who still wanted his jackets to reflect the fact that it's Fall. 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.

The jacket is fully lined and half-canvassed, and is beautifully shaped with its subtle darts. It is unvented, and has four button cuffs. It was, of course, made in the USA.

16) GORGEOUS Corneliani blazer in Extrafine Merino!
JUST $20!
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 $25, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are very welcome--and lower offers are very welcome, too!

17) GORGEOUS NEW WITH TAGS SOUTHWICK SILK/WOOL JACKET! 44L. $650 retail.
SOLD
This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
This jacket has had its interior Southwick tag removed, but otherwise all of its tags are intact, including its original retail tags. I have full provenance on this jacket, and can attest that it is New With Tags--as such, it is in pristine condition.
Original retail: $650

Fully lined and fully canvassed, this is clearly lighter-weight wool, although there is no fabric content listed. The colourway is wonderful; a base of Royal blue, peat black, and dark cream, with an overcheck of golden wheat and berry red--my pictures don't do this just at all!
This is a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts. It has a single centre vent. The two front pockets are still basted shut, but it has clearly been worn; there is a small smudge on the lining above the interior pocket. There are also two broken threads on the back, as shown; these would be easy fixes, or just ignored. This is thus in Very Good condition.

19) 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!

1) STUNNING AND RARE! Mid-century ORKNEY Tweed jacket from Austin Reed, Regent Street, London.
Orkney tweed is of just the same quality as Harris--perhaps slightly better, as its hand can be slightly softer with no loss to the durability or ruggedness of the cloth--but is far, far rarer. This jacket, then, is quite a find simply for being made from Orkney.. especially since the wteed is question is a classic wide herringbone in brown and cream!
But there's far more to this jacket than the fact that it's cut from Orkney tweed. This jacket was made in 1955, in Regent Street, London, by Austin Reed, back when they were a serious tailoring operation. You might think that it was made for a senior British civil servant, or a member of the sporting British gentry, up in town to stay at his club for a week while visiting his solicitors. Fair guesses, but wrong. This jacket--and its Harris brother, above--was made for...
...a junior in an American high school.
Now, admittedly the High School in question was the Berkshire School of Massachusetts, one of the best private boarding schools in the country, and the high school student in question was John Francis Consolini, who later attended Georgetown, became a Green Beret, and then pioneered various innovations at JC Penney and elsewhere as a senior executive--but still, imagine a jacket of this quality being made for a high school student today!
And this is indeed a very, very serious and beautiful jacket. This is fully canvassed and fully lined, with a classic British twin vent. It has a classic British three button front, and single button cuffs. It has one deep wallet pocket in the interior, and a spilt pen and pencil pocket on the other side. It does have three minor flaws: (1) It is missing the top button at the front--an easy fix; (2) there is a small snag hole on the front, as shown--this could be fixed easily with either re-weaving or darning; (3) there is the start of a wear fray on one elbow--this calls for elbow patches. (And think--it took over 50 years to wear through this tweed!)
Given these flaws, this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and so is an absolute bargain at just $25 > 22, or offer. And remember--this is a mid-century jacket from London in ORKNEY tweed!

2) WONDERFUL Plaid Tweed from Wanamaker's of Philadelphia.
This is absolutely terrific--the perfect tweed for an Ivy winter! The patterning and colorway are marvellous; a wonderful bold winter plaid in dark navy blue, cream, and slate grey, with a bold crimson overcheck, this is perfect for visiting friends on a crisp winter day at dusk, heading out in your battered Volvo with the dogs and family to pick up a Christmas tree, or just heading in to work on Friday. This jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features the classic leather-covered football buttons with metal shanks. It has a single centre vent, and was Union Made in the USA. It was also sold by Wanamaker's of Philadelphia; the first department store in Philadelphia, and one of the first in the USA, so it has a very nice historical background! It is, of course, in excellent condition, and a steal at just
$35 > 29, or offer.

3) WONDERFUL Pre-1962 Vintage 3/2 sack in 1950s/1960s shadow plaid!
SOLD
This is absolutely terrific! From the interior Union label this jacket was built before 1962, and it's a classic late 1950's early 1960's piece, with all of the elements you'd want from something that comes direct from the Golden Era of Ivy Style. It is, of course, a 3/2 sack with a lovely high and fluid lapel roll; the lapels themselves are beautifully narrow, and utterly vintage. The jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a single centre vent. The patterning and colourway are wonderful--a beautifully dark, subdued 1950's colourway that's almost never seen now, with a wonderful shadow plaid that's overlaid with a pure black overcheck. It has two button cuffs, and was of course, Union Made in the USA. This is a truly lovely, elegant, vintage piece! It does have a small flaw--a small wear mark by one of the buttonholes on the INTERIOR of the jacket, and so this won't be seen when worn. It's also clearly a vintage piece, and so is fairly rated as being in Very Good condition overall.
This would cost a LOT in a vintage niche store specialising in Ivy clothing, or on Etsy, but I'm asking
just $25, or offer!

4) MADE IN ITALY 3/2 Jacket in Cashmere and Wool
This is a lovely jacket! Made in Italy from Italian cloth that's a blend of 90% wool and 10% cashmere with a correspondingly beautiful hand and drape, the cloth is close to a nailhead pattern, with a base of dark brown and the nailheads in rich chestnut brown and dark tan. 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! It is fully canvassed, and fully lined, and is unvented, in Flusser approved style. It features kissing buttons on the cuffs. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $25 > 22, or offer.

5) Deceptively pretty chevron weave tweed jacket!
SOLD
At first sight, this appears to be a standard grey and black tweed--if a little unusual since it's woven in a rare chevron pattern. However, closer examination reveals that this has heathered throughout much smaller chevrons in a delicate sepia tea-rose pink with occasional flecks of blue... this gives a wonderfully subtle glow to the tweed, and keeps you coming back to examine it more closely.
In addition to its lovely colourway this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has a standard two button closure, and is subtly darted. It has three button cuffs and a single centre vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and it's in excellent condition.

6) STUNNING RED AND GREY PLAID TWEED!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I won't even try to describe the red and grey tartan from which this stunning jacket is cut; I'll let the pictures show you!
Apart from the beauty of the robust tartan cloth from which this jacket is cut, it also features beautiful Anglophile tailoring. It has a fully functional ticket pocket in addition to the two main pockets, subtle darting for shaping, and twin vents. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and the lining is a beautiful shade of blue with paisley swirls. It has three button cuffs, and a two button front, as is standard. It retains its ful complement of spare buttons, which are attached to the interior. This is an absolutely beautiful jacket in absolutely excellent condition; it has just been dry-cleaned, and so is ready to go!
Perfect for the holiday season, this is a bargain at just $40 > 35, or offer.

7) WONDERFULLY BOLD plaid tweed!
SOLD
This is a wonderfully bold plaid tweed jacket--absolutely perfect for an Ivy winter in general, and the holiday season in particular!
I'll let the pictures describe this especially lovely and bold plaid tweed, and focus on the jacket itself. This was Union Made in the USA between 1962 and 1976; my guess is that it dates from the late 1960s. It's a standard two button front jacket, with classic Ivy two button cuffs; all of the original buttons are present and firmly attached. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a single centre vent. It's in absolutely excellent condition. The only flaw is that half of the interior label has been removed!
Asking just $30, or offer, for this beauty!

8) VINTAGE 3/2 jacket with jetted pockets and twin vents.
SOLD
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 $25, or offer, for this very cool jacket!

9) CANALI Blazer in a beautiful and complex weave.
This is lovely! Fully canvassed and fully lined with a bemberg lining, this is cut from a beautifully complex and subtle cloth. It appears navy at first glance, then it's clear it's not... and only on close inspection does it become clear that this has a mesh of tan and sky blue pindots patterning over the navy background. This features pick stitching on the placket and the lapels. This has a contemporary three button front, with four button cuffs. It is unvented in Flusser approved style, and was, of course, Made in Italy.
This jacket does have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is snapped; there is a small white mark in the lining, and there is a rub mark at the tip of one cuff. There is also some minor shine to the sleeves from wear. None of these detract from the obvious quality of this jacket, but it is in Good condition only, and hence is a steal at
just $16, or offer.

10) GORGEOUS Flannel Navy Blazer from the tailors of Princess Grace's father!

This was made by Witlin and Gallagher, the oldest men's clothiers in Philadelphia, and the tailors to John B. Kelly, an impeccably dressed self-made man who was the father of Grace Kelly--later Princess Grace of Monaco. This blazer appears to be fully canvassed and is half-lined. It has gold-toned, crested buttons and a single centre vent. It's in excellent condition, although it could use a dry clean to freshen it up.
Given its quality and provenance this is an absolute steal at just

16) GORGEOUS Corneliani blazer in Extrafine Merino!
JUST $20!
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 $25, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

17) GORGEOUS NEW WITH TAGS SOUTHWICK SILK/WOOL JACKET! 44L. $650 retail.
SOLD
This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
This jacket has had its interior Southwick tag removed, but otherwise all of its tags are intact, including its original retail tags. I have full provenance on this jacket, and can attest that it is New With Tags--as such, it is in pristine condition.

Fully lined and fully canvassed, this is clearly lighter-weight wool, although there is no fabric content listed.

This is a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts. It has a single centre vent. The two front pockets are still basted shut, but it has clearly been worn; there is a small smudge on the lining above the interior pocket. There are also two broken threads on the back, as shown; these would be easy fixes, or just ignored. This is thus in Very Good condition.

34) BEAUTIFUL Brooks Brothers 3/2 glen plaid sack in camelhair!
This is absolutely lovely! Cut from beautifully soft camelhair, this classic 3/2 sack is a classic black and cream glen plaid with a subtle overchecking of umber and dark berry red. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, was made in the USA, and has two button cuffs. It has a single centre vent and is in absolutely excellent condition, apart from a small snag in the lining, as shown.
Asking just $35, or offer.
