This jacket was a recent experiment in menswear for me and I've decided to part with the result. I purchased the jacket October of '22. I had the jacket slimmed down in the arms and taken out a bit in the chest, as well as replaced the original buttons with a new set of Made-In-Germany horn buttons. There was some confusion with the tailor and they applied 3 buttons to the sleeve, where originally there were 2. I have left it as such.

Note the front buttons appear duller than the sleeve buttons. This is because the jacket was drycleaned after the front buttons had been attached, but before the new sleeve buttons had been added.

There are no stains, tears or other damage that I have located during ownership.

Below I have copied from the listing of the original seller:

"Mark, Fore, & Strike, was founded 1951 in New England. Stores expanded beyond Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts to Florida. They began a mail order catalog in 1978."

Price includes shipping within the US. Contact for international.
