VINTAGE BROOKS BROTHERS AUTHENTIC INDIAN MADRAS JACKET!



Absolutely beautiful--an Ivy summer classic!

Tagged 44. Likely c. 42. Measurements:

Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 23 3/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/8
Length: 30

This jacket is absolutely gorgeous! Cut from beautiful, gossamer-light authentic Indian Madras in a wonderfully bold, classic plaid in blues, turquoise, and coral pink, this is cut as a contemporary two-button jacket with subtle darts.

It was likely made in the 1980s for Brooks Brothers' "Brooksgate" line--that which was aimed at the younger market, with the intent that this would be the "gate" into a lifelong relationship with Brooks Brothers. This line was cut slimmer than Brooks' usual offerings, and so while this is tagged 44 it would best suit a contemporary 42.

The jacket has a single center vent and three button cuffs. It has very natural shoulders, and, despite being both half-lined and half-canvassed, is wonderfully lightweight.

It was, of course, Union Made in the USA, and apart from some minor loose stitching in the lining this is in excellent condition.

Asking just $45, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
