1) NWOT BEAUTIFUL Brooks Brothers jacket in a Spring/Summer Glen Plaid.
This is absolutely lovely--my pictures really do not do this justice! Made in Italy, this beautiful jacket 42/30/28 blend of wool, silk, and linen, which cloth has a wonderful hand and drape. The patterning and colourway fully fit this lovely fabric--a classic glen plaid in a Spring and SUmmer medley of blues, creams, and light tans, my pictures come nowhere near capturing the beauty of this fabric. The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined in Bemberg. It is a contemporary two-button model, with four buttons cuffs and subtle darting.
This jacket is genuinely NWOT--all of the exterior pockets are basted shut, and it comes complete with its original set of spare buttons in the original plastic bag from Brooks Brothers. s such, this jacket is in absolutely excellent condition.
This is a bargain at just $50, or offer.

3) THE TRAD/IVY Summer Classic--A Brooks Brothers poplin jacket!
SOLD
This is THE Trad/Ivy summer classic--the Brooks Brothers tan poplin jacket! Although the fabric label had faded beyond legibility, this is clearly cotton poplin. It's a contemporary two button model with subtle darting; it features a single centre vent and a full lining. It is half-canvassed, and was Made in the USA. It does have some water spotting to the lining, which obviously won't be seen when it's worn, as well as two tiny pinholes in the lapel, which can't be seen unless you're looking for them. As such, this is in Very Good condition.
Asking just $28, or offer.

4) Anderson & Sheppard of Savile Row, London. BEAUTIFUL Spring & Summer jacket!
SOLD
Founded in 1906, Anderson & Sheppard maintain the tradition of bespoke tailoring, discreetly noting on their website that they do not make or licence any ready to wear of made to measure clothing at all--so an Anderson & Sheppard piece is guaranteed to exemplify the finest in bespoke Savile Row tailoring. Designed from the start to afford ease of movement and to reflect a natural body line, Anderson & Sheppard are the nearest tailoring house on Savile Row to reflect the Ivy League TNSIL look.
Although the firm is currently located in the Burlington Arcade this jacket dates from the time when they had their premises on Savile Row, a fact that alone gives it some historical value. Although there is no fabric content noted, this is clearly silk, with all of the lovely texture and slubbiness of that material. Naturlaly, this jacket is fully hand-made, and so the stitching throughout is hand done, as are the buttonholes, cutting, basting, and construction. This is, of course, fully canvassed, and has fully functioning cuffs. The fabric is beautiful, being a gorgeous base of cream and sky blue, with a lovely overcheck of tearose pink and Spring green. It features twin vents, and a full lining in cream--and a fully functional ticket pocket.
This jacket was made for Joseph Markowitz, esq., who was known as the Dean of the New Jersey bankruptcy bar, and was its oldest practitioner at the time of his death in 2013.
This jacket does need a dry clean and a press to freshen it up. It also has a brown mark on the front, as shown, which appears to be a tea stain. I suspect that this cannot be removed, although I have not tried, and, to be honest, it's not that noticeable--but it does mean that this jacket is now for casual wear only, being just in Good condition.
With this in mind, this true beauty is a steal at just $35, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+1)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 29 1/2
5) NWT Calvin Klein jacket
This is a very nice jacket, and with the addition of blonde buttons would make a lovely blazer for Spring or early Fall. This is darted with a three button front and four button cuffs; it features a twin vent and full lining. It was Made in Canada, and is 100% lighter-weight wool. It is very nicely cut! It is NWT, and so is in excellent condition--apart from a tiny missed thread hole on one sleeve, as shown. The original retail was $350, so how about
just $32, shipped in CONUS?

6) GORGEOUS Paul Stuart Spring/Summer Jacket!
This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! First, the cloth. Woven in England, this is a wonderfully luxurious blend of 75% wool and 25% silk, with a wonderful hand and drape. It's also gossamer light, and so perfect for warmer days!
The colourway does full justice to the cloth, to, being a wonderful and classic Spring and Summer pattern of vertical striping in sky blue and rich ivory cream. Made in Canada, this jacket is fully canvassed, and fully lined in a lovely ivory cream that's the perfect complement to the exterior fabric. Beautifully cut, this is an example of Paul Stuart's single breasted "St Edward" model; it features very subtle darting, a desirable twin vent, and four button cuffs. The pockets are flapped, with the flaps being lined in the same material as the body of the jacket. With the exception of two very tiny brown dots on the lining in the middle back--invisible when the jacket is worn--this is in absolutely excellent condition.
Asking just $60, or offer.

7) BEAUTIFUL linen jacket by Adolfo Dominguez 54
SOLD
Far better known in Europe and the UK than in the USA, the Spanish designer Adolfo Dominguez is best know for his elegant unstructured clothes for both men and women--his retail outlet in Covent Garden, London, is easily one of the better shops in a largely tourist-orientated location. And, naturally, given the quality and classic nature of these clothes they're rather expensive, starting at around $100 for a shirt and climbing rapidly.
Even if you're not familiar with the brand this jacket will show at a glance why it's so popular. Cut from pure linen in a beautiful and classic black, grey, and cream gingham check, this jacket has a lovely unstructured feel to it--perfect for later Spring and Summer. It is half-canvassed, fully lined, and features twin vents; it also has beautifully narrow lapels and a three button front, together with subtle darting and natural shoulders, all of which (well, maybe not the darts!) made this reminiscent of the Golden Age of TNSIL style. There is a small blue thread detail to the lapel, which either is a feature of the jacket, or else was added to indicate that its original owner earned a Sporting Blue at either Oxford or Cambridge University.
This jacket is in excellent condition, except for a fraying tear at the top of the interior breast pocket--a very easy fix for even a minimally competent dry-cleaner tailor. Or yourself!
This is a lovely jacket, perfect for Summer, and hence a steal at just $35, or offer.

Chest: 23
Sleeve: 24 3/4 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 20
Length: 30 1/2
8) GORGEOUS Spring Guncheck by Ted Baker of London
This is beautiful! Cut from a lighter-weight wool that's perfect for Spring, this beautiful jacket is a wonderful guncheck, which has a base of moss green and slate checking on a tan background with a wonderful bracken overcheck. This is a beautiful, classic guncheck! The jacket itself is a three button front model, with almost a 2.5/3 lapel roll; it is subtly darted and has four button cuffs. It is unvented, in Flusser approved style, and is fully lined. It is half-canvassed. This was Union Made in the USA for Ted Baker of London. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $45, or offer.

9) GORGEOUS Hong Kong Bespoke Guncheck by Ying Tai of the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong.
This is absolutely stunning. Ying Tai is one of the elite Hong Kong tailoring firms; originally from Shanghai, they relocated to Hong Kong during the Second World War, and opened their flagship store at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong in 1958. They were later invited by Conrad Hilton to open a second store at the 5-Star Hong Kong Hilton.
All of Yang Tai's suits and jackets are handmade, and so it is not surprising that this jacket features large amounts of handwork. They are--as befits a firm located at two of the best hotels in Hong Kong--of superb quality, with canvassing used in every suit and jacket produced. (This jacket is fully canvassed). This jacket also features an absolutely beautiful guncheck--slate and peat gingham checking on a tan-ivory base, with gorgeous russet chestnut overchecking. The hand and drape of the fabric are wonderful, also--it's almost certainly wool, but the softness indicates that this might be a wool and cashmere blend. In any case, this is a jacket suitable for cooler Spring nights, and perfect for Fall and early winter. This jacket is a contemporary two button model, with four button cuffs; it is fully lined, and features a single centre vent. It is, of course, in absolutely excellent condition. It even retains its original spare buttons!
Asking just $60, or offer for this beautiful gem.
