I have some wonderful, classic blazers, tweeds, and other jackets to pass on todayt!
As always, I OFFER FREE SHIPPING IN THE CONUS on everything; International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost.
Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
A) VINTAGE 3/2 jacket with jetted pockets and twin vents.
This is a lovely vintage piece, showing a mixture of styles that form a beautiful whole! First, this has a classic 3/2 lapel roll--although it has subtle darts, so it's not a sack. It also has jetted pockets and twin vents, showing the English influence. There's no country of origin, but I've been informed by mack 1121 that this is an Italian jacket--hence the rather bizarre brand name! It's also half-canvassed and fully lined. The patterning and colourway are wonderful--a classic dark grey and cream barleycorn, with a subtle overcheck in mustard and chestnut. This is also a heavier tweed, and so could readily be used as outerwear. It's in excellent condition, except for two small frays in the lining where it appears that the locker look was removed.
Asking just $40 > 35, or offer, for this very cool jacket!

1) A WONDERFUL TRAD CLASSIC! 3/2 sack navy Blazer from The English Shop of Princeton
This is wonderful! The English shop of Princeton is now long gone, but in its day it was one of the Big Four Princeton Ivy Clothiers from the Golden Age of Ivy Style--and this blazer shows why! Cut as a classic 3/2 sack from navy hopsack, this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has very natural shoulders, a single centre vent, and the ever-desirable patch pockets. It has a lovely lapel roll and was, of course, Union made in the USA. Naturally, it features crested buttons. It's in excellent condition.
Asking just $40 > 35, or offer.

2) CANALI Blazer in a beautiful and complex weave.
This is lovely! Fully canvassed and fully lined with a bemberg lining, this is cut from a beautifully complex and subtle cloth. It appears navy at first glance, then it's clear it's not... and only on close inspection does it become clear that this has a mesh of tan and sky blue pindots patterning over the navy background. This features pick stitching on the placket and the lapels. This has a contemporary three button front, with four button cuffs. It is unvented in Flusser approved style, and was, of course, Made in Italy.
This jacket does have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is snapped; there is a small white mark in the lining, and there is a rub mark at the tip of one cuff. There is also some minor shine to the sleeves from wear. None of these detract from the obvious quality of this jacket, but it is in Good condition only, and hence is a steal at
just $20 > 18, or offer.

4) GORGEOUS Flannel Navy Blazer from the tailors of Princess Grace's father!
This is gorgeous! A classic navy two button blazer cut from heavier-weight flannel, this features the always desirable and increasingly rare three patch pockets. This was made by Witlin and Gallagher, the oldest men's clothiers in Philadelphia, and the tailors to John B. Kelly, an impeccably dressed self-made man who was the father of Grace Kelly--later Princess Grace of Monaco. This blazer appears to be fully canvassed and is half-lined. It has gold-toned, crested buttons and a single centre vent. It's in excellent condition, although it could use a dry clean to freshen it up.
Given its quality and provenance this is an absolute steal at just
$42 > 38, or offer.

The patterning and colouring of this jacket are simply wonderful!

My pictures really don't do this justice, but do see the close-up! This is a contemporary two button front model with darts and a single centre vent. It appears half-canvassed, and it's fully lined.

18) GORGEOUS Corneliani blazer in Extrafine Merino!
JUST $25 > 22!
This is absolutely stunning! Cut from beautifully light Super 120's Extrafine Merino wool this wonderful jacket has all of the details that you'd expect from Corneliani. It is fully canvassed, and fully lined. It features an abundance of hand-finished pick stitching on the pockets, the placket, the lapels, and the interior lining seams. It is a contemporary two button jacket with a lovely and elegant lapel roll, and features a twin vent. It was, of course, Made in Italy.
This is absolutely gorgeous!
It does have two minor flaws; there is a small rub mark at the hem on the front, as shown. There's also two very small smudges on the left pocket flap, which will likely come out with dry cleaning. It took me a while to find these, but they are there, and because of this this jacket is just in Very Good condition. As such, I am asking just $25, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are very welcome--and lower offers are very welcome, too!

19) GORGEOUS NEW WITH TAGS SOUTHWICK SILK/WOOL JACKET! 44L. $650 retail.
This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
This jacket has had its interior Southwick tag removed, but otherwise all of its tags are intact, including its original retail tags. I have full provenance on this jacket, and can attest that it is New With Tags--as such, it is in pristine condition.
Original retail: $650
My asking price: $40, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in CONUS. International offers welcome, with shipping at cost.

20) WONDERFUL complex jacket from The English Sports Shop of Bermuda
Long a clothier for vacationing Ivy Leaguers, the English Sports Shop of Bermuda has provided many beautiful items for many people over the years--and this is no exception. Fully lined and fully canvassed, this is clearly lighter-weight wool, although there is no fabric content listed. The colourway is wonderful; a base of Royal blue, peat black, and dark cream, with an overcheck of golden wheat and berry red--my pictures don't do this just at all!
This is a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts. It has a single centre vent. The two front pockets are still basted shut, but it has clearly been worn; there is a small smudge on the lining above the interior pocket. There are also two broken threads on the back, as shown; these would be easy fixes, or just ignored. This is thus in Very Good condition.

It also has a bi-swing back for ease of movement. It has a two button front and three button cuffs. It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a single centre vent. It was made in the USA.
It does have some minor rumpling from storage, a small stain on the top of the right-hand elbow patch, and some minor lining sag at the hem, but these are all minor and readily overlooked in a weekend tweed. Because they are there, though, this is in very Good condition, and hence is

A) VINTAGE 3/2 jacket with jetted pockets and twin vents.
This is a lovely vintage piece, showing a mixture of styles that form a beautiful whole! First, this has a classic 3/2 lapel roll--although it has subtle darts, so it's not a sack. It also has jetted pockets and twin vents, showing the English influence. There's no country of origin, but I've been informed by mack 1121 that this is an Italian jacket--hence the rather bizarre brand name! It's also half-canvassed and fully lined. The patterning and colourway are wonderful--a classic dark grey and cream barleycorn, with a subtle overcheck in mustard and chestnut. This is also a heavier tweed, and so could readily be used as outerwear. It's in excellent condition, except for two small frays in the lining where it appears that the locker look was removed.

Cut as a classic 3/2 sack from navy hopsack, this jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has very natural shoulders, a single centre vent, and the ever-desirable patch pockets. It has a lovely lapel roll and was, of course, Union made in the USA. Naturally, it features crested buttons. It's in excellent condition.

2) CANALI Blazer in a beautiful and complex weave.
This is lovely! Fully canvassed and fully lined with a bemberg lining, this is cut from a beautifully complex and subtle cloth. It appears navy at first glance, then it's clear it's not... and only on close inspection does it become clear that this has a mesh of tan and sky blue pindots patterning over the navy background. This features pick stitching on the placket and the lapels. This has a contemporary three button front, with four button cuffs. It is unvented in Flusser approved style, and was, of course, Made in Italy.
This jacket does have some minor issues. First, one of the cuff buttons is snapped; there is a small white mark in the lining, and there is a rub mark at the tip of one cuff. There is also some minor shine to the sleeves from wear. None of these detract from the obvious quality of this jacket, but it is in Good condition only, and hence is a steal at
just $20 > 18, or offer.

This is a stunning jacket that's perfect for Spring, Summer and early Fall! This is cut from a blend of 85% wool and 15% silk, which gives the cloth a wonderful hand and drape, as well as imparting to it the rough-silk texture that's so desirable. The fabric has a wonderful hand and drape, and the colourway and patterning fully live up to its quality: the base is a mixture of dark rich tan-cream and taupe, with rich golden wheat threading heathered in throughout. This is then complemented by a beautiful overcheck in quiet scarlet... My pictures just do not do this jacket justice at all!
The cut and construction of this jacket do the colourway, patterning, and cloth full justice. This is Southwick's three-button "Nicola" model, featuring a lovely lapel roll, and subtle darting, as well as a three button front and four button cuffs. The jacket is half-canvassed, and fully lined in a light brown that complements the exterior colourway. The buttons are similarly well-chosen to pick out the brown undertones of the base colourway. The jacket is single-vented, and was, of course, Made in the USA.
