This is a beauty! Half-canvassed and cut from beautiful rich, dark charcoal camelhair and featuring what I believe to be horn buttons throughout, this wonderful double-breasted, peak-lapeled blazer is fully lined and features a single vent. It was built by Barrister's for the Ivy/Trad store Wallach's--now sadly departed this retail life. It has a single-button closure at the front, and features four cuff buttons on each cuff--which I believe to be cut from natural horn.
Unlike most camelhair jackets of this vintage, this is in absolutely excellent condition; there's not even any deadening of the nap at the elbows. It could easily have been purchased yesterday.... and had it been, it would have cost a fortune, being of excellent build and Made in the USA. It does have one flaw--the start of a split in the lining of the right-hand front pocket, which would be an easy five minute fix.
How often do you see charcoal camelhair in this condition, of this quality, and in this size? Rarely.... But that doesn't stop me asking just $50, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS! International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost.
Please PM with interest and offers!
