4) NWOT LOVELY Charles Tyrwhitt houndstooth jacket, in silk, linen, cotton, and wool!
This is absolutely lovely! Cut from a cloth that's a lovely soft and wearable blend of silk, linen, cotton and wool the colourway of this jacket is beautiful--a blue and white houndstooth! This cloth was woven in England. This is perfectly complemented by its lining in pink (for the sides) and navy (for the shoulders), which is further complemented by the white polka dots on a navy background trim to the pocket edges in the interior and the underside of the pocket flaps. the lining also features pick stitching!
As befits a jacket from a British tailoring firm, this has a two button front and is darted. It also features lovely slanted hacking pockets and twin vents. The jacket is half-canvassed.

13) ORIGINAL 1960's Blazer by Penney's!
SOLD
This is wonderful--and shows that penney's used to produce very, very nice menswear indeed back in the day! Cut from a very dark charcoal cloth, this has all of the 1960's details a trad could want--a very high 2.5/3 button lapel--almost a three button front--very narrow 1960s lapels, a single vent, and two button cuffs. And don't be fooled by the fact that this is from Penney's--this appears to be FULLY canvassed. It has only one interior pocket, to maintain its sleek lines.
While I can detect no flaws in this jacket, it's clearly a 1960s original, and so I rate it conservatively as being in Very Good condition. Hence, asking just $24, or offer, for this little gem.

This is wonderful! First, it's beautifully cut and styled--it features slightly slanted pockets, including a fully functional ticket pocket, twin vents, darting, and a three button front with just the hint of a lapel roll. It also features pick stitching throughout--on the lapels, on the closure edge, and in the lining. The buttons are all crested, and metal, and heavy. The fabric is from Loro Piana, of Italy, and the jacket was Union made in the USA. The lining is a lovely awning lining, and it is lined in scarlet on the sleeves. It's also half-canvassed.
This is a beautiful jacket!
It does have a few minor thread pulls, especially on the front right quarter, but these are very hard to see, and blend with the texture of the fabric. There is also a very small fray on the seam of the lining. Given these minor flaws, this is in Very Good condition, and hence this beauty is just $35, or offer.

17) Made in the USA of Scottish lambswool Boss Barleycorn jacket with overcheck.
Admittedly, this isn't as Trad as most of my offerings, and also admittedly Boss gets little love here (as it shouldn't, at full retail), but this is a wonderful jacket, and so worthy of offering! First, this is cut from wonderfuly soft Scottish lambswool, woven in Scotland by ALexander's, so this has a wonderful hand and drape. The colourway and patterning of the cloth is also terrific--a lovely classic grey and cream barleycorn, with a very subtle overcheck of lilac and burnt orange. The jacket is fully lined, and half-canvassed, has a three button front, jetted pockets, and is unvented, as Flusser would approve. It was also Made in the USA.

18) RARE! Mervin S. Levine jacket--New York tailor who dressed Joe Bushkin!
SOLD
This is a beautiful jacket--as well it should be, since it was made by the (now closed) new York tailoring firm of Mervin S. Levine, the company that used to make suits fro Joe Bushkin, the jazz pianist, in the 1930's. Bushkin considered his $30 suits from Levine's to be THE indication of his success as a jazz great, as he details in this 1983 article from The New Yorker:
http://www.joebushkin.com/pdf/Article For Site.pdf
This jacket wasn't made for Bushkin--but it was made for Oscar Kosh, the paper baron who founded the Case Paper Co. in Philadelphia.
And it lives up to its pedigree!
This jacket is cut from a wonderful rich chestnut herringbone cloth that drapes beautifully and has a wonderful hand. Although the fabric content isn't given, I'd be surprised if there wasn't some cashmere in this. It's fully lined, and fully canvassed. It's a three button front, with a lovely lapel roll--close to a 2.5/3. It's subtly darted, and has a single centre vent. The pockets are slightly slanted.

This is a beautiful jacket!
It does have a few minor thread pulls, especially on the front right quarter, but these are very hard to see, and blend with the texture of the fabric. There is also a very small fray on the seam of the lining. Given these minor flaws, this is in Very Good condition, and hence this beauty is just $35, or offer.

15) Lovely Nailhead Camelhair with Windowpaning by Thos. David. Horn buttons!
SOLD
This is lovely, and a perfect jacket for early Fall! Cut from wonderfully soft camelhair, this jacket is a beautiful charcoal nailhead, with a lovely windowpaning overcheck in russet and blue, which manages to be both subtle and bold at the same time--not an easy combination to pull off!
The jacket is a standard two-button front jacket, with subtle darting. It features four button cuffs--and I believe that all of the buttons are horn. The jacket is fully lined, and half-canvassed, and features a single center vent. It was made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.
Asking just $20, or offer, shipped in the CONUS--the buttons alone are worth this!

17) Made in the USA of Scottish lambswool Boss Barleycorn jacket with overcheck.
Admittedly, this isn't as Trad as most of my offerings, and also admittedly Boss gets little love here (as it shouldn't, at full retail), but this is a wonderful jacket, and so worthy of offering! First, this is cut from wonderfuly soft Scottish lambswool, woven in Scotland by ALexander's, so this has a wonderful hand and drape. The colourway and patterning of the cloth is also terrific--a lovely classic grey and cream barleycorn, with a very subtle overcheck of lilac and burnt orange. The jacket is fully lined, and half-canvassed, has a three button front, jetted pockets, and is unvented, as Flusser would approve. It was also Made in the USA.
This lovely jacket is a steal at just $18, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.

18) RARE! Mervin S. Levine jacket--New York tailor who dressed Joe Bushkin!
SOLD
This is a beautiful jacket--as well it should be, since it was made by the (now closed) new York tailoring firm of Mervin S. Levine, the company that used to make suits fro Joe Bushkin, the jazz pianist, in the 1930's. Bushkin considered his $30 suits from Levine's to be THE indication of his success as a jazz great, as he details in this 1983 article from The New Yorker:

This jacket wasn't made for Bushkin--but it was made for Oscar Kosh, the paper baron who founded the Case Paper Co. in Philadelphia.
And it lives up to its pedigree!
This jacket is cut from a wonderful rich chestnut herringbone cloth that drapes beautifully and has a wonderful hand. Although the fabric content isn't given, I'd be surprised if there wasn't some cashmere in this. It's fully lined, and fully canvassed. It's a three button front, with a lovely lapel roll--close to a 2.5/3. It's subtly darted, and has a single centre vent. The pockets are slightly slanted.
This is in absolutely excellent condition, and a steal at just $49, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS!

21) Size 36, 38 Houndstooth tweed--RARE size!
This is lovely--and in a very rare size, being tagged 36R! The tweed is a classic houndstooth, with a medley of Fall peats, brackens, barks, and tans. The jacket is a contemporary two button front with subtle darting, and is fully lined. It has a single center vent, and features leather-covered football buttons; four to each sleeve. It appears to be half-canvassed, and was made in the USA.
It is in excellent condition, although it seems that the cuff buttons and the front buttons do not quite match; maybe one or the other was replaced at some time, or maybe they were always like this?
