Brace yourself for awesome - the only thing better than these jackets is my ability to take horrible pictures.

Any way you can put a date to the pic on when the jackets were made.

Oxxford Wilshire RTW jacket, sold by Maus & Hoffman c.1960:

One of the things that I love about this jacket is all the drape in the chest, not something that I ever see in a modern Oxxford:

Closeup of the fabric...a wonderful spongy Shetland...and the handsomely done lapel buttonhole and a breast patch pocket with verve...the latter a detail that Oxxford still executes well today, (although not as well in those samples earlier this thread...must have been a style hiatus):
