4) GORGEOUS English Shooting Jacket in "Featherweight" Harris Tweed, by Christopher Dawes!
SOLD
This is absolutely stunning! Cut from a classic Harris Tweed in brown and cream with occasional flecks of red, green, and pumpkin, this beauty has everything that you'd want in a shooting jacket. It features two front patch pockets with flaps, a shooting patch (in either suede or alcantra) on the right shoulder, and elbow patches in the same material.

This beautiful jacket was styled and made in Yorkshire, by Christopher Dawes. With the exception of a small smudge on the throat latch, this jacket is in absolutely excellent condition, and appears rarely, if ever worn.
Jackets of this quality are rare on the secondary market, for the simple reason that they quickly become favorites and wear like iron, so they hardly ever appear! So, if this is your size, grab it!

6) GORGEOUS Kilgour, French, and Stanbury Barleycorn tweed
This is absolutely beautiful! Cut from a stunningly beautiful barleycorn tweed, the colourway and patterning of this jacket is wonderful--from a distance, it appears to be a standard grey-blue herringbone, albeit one with no clear boning definition; when you get closer, it reveals as a barleycorn with beautiful flecks of forest green, sky blue, berry red, cream, and pumpkin orange throughout. This is a really, really lovely tweed, which is beautifully complemented by the use of leather wrap buttons in burnished chestnut brown on metal shanks--more elegant and far more rare than their football cousins.
The colourway and patterning of this jacket are fully justified by its construction. Fully canvassed and fully lined, this has a contemporary two button front and four button cuffs. The interior pockets all feature tab and button latches for security--a very nice touch and indicative of the attention to detail in this jacket. This jacket was made by Kilgour, French, and Stanbury, the British Savile Row tailoring firm, for Barney's of New York. This jacket was Union made in the USA, and has a single centre vent.
This is in absolutely excellent condition, and hence is a steal at just $60 > 55, or offer--a steal for a jacket of this quality in this highly desirable size!

7) GRAIL! Donegal Mist Tweed by Magee of Co. Donegal, Ireland.
SOLD
Donegal Mist tweed is simply wonderful--there's a reason that J. Press chose this cloth above all others to be the standard for its flagship line of tweeds! Woven from a blend of wool (60%), kid mohair (35%), and cashmere (5%), this tweed has an unrivalled hand and drape. This particular example is a beautiful herringbone that's a heathery mixture of moss green and sky blue for the coloured boning, and cream for the neutral complement boning, which is a wonderful, soft, and utterly Irish colourway. As with all Donegal Mists, the actual weaver who produced the cloth is identified, and his woven signature appears on the label. This jacket was made by Magee of Co. Donegal, Ireland--the premier Irish tweed makers.
The cut and construction of this jacket do full justice to the beautiful fabric that it's cut from. A contemporary two button closure, this jacket has two button cuffs with faux buttonholes. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a classic British twin vent at the rear.
This jacket presents as being in excellent condition. However, it does have two blemishes--two small snag holes on the front. These are initially hard to see, but they are there--one of the right hand side and one on the left. They're small, and could be rewoven, or else you could simply ignore them--my preferred course of action!
Because of these, this jacket is only in Good condition (although without them it would be excellent), and so is only $26 > 24, or offer.

Chest: 22
Sleeve: 26 3/4 (+1 3/4)

8) GRAIL! STUNNING British Country Hacking Jacket by Brooks Brothers. NWOT. UNWORN!
SOLD
This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I have full provenance on this jacket, and so know that it was only tried on, once, after the basting from the pockets and the vents was removed--so this qualifies as being new, without tags, and unworn!
This is truly beautiful--possibly the pinnacle of Brooks' tailoring. It is cut from a gorgeous mossy-licheny green twill with a beautiful estate overcheck in winterberry red and dark bracken brown. The jacket's cut and construction do full justice to the beauty of the cloth. It features slanted hacking pockets, and a slanted ticket pocket, all of which are flapped with wonderful pattern matching throughout. It has a two button front, and sharp British darting; it also features twin vents, which are secured in place with a strip of lining fabric running horizontally in the interior--one of the hallmarks of a very, very well made jacket. It has four button cuffs, in a deep burnished chestnut brown.
This jacket is fully canvassed and fully lined. It was recently Union made in the USA for Brooks Brothers. This is in immaculate condition.
Given the beauty of this jacket, and its sterling condition, it's a steal at just $95 > 85, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.

Like the Anderson and Little, above, this is another lovely staple tweed from one of the mainstay American makers. Cut from a light grey herringbone tweed with vertical blue striping throughout, this is half-canvassed and half-lined. It features neat flat buttons--two on the front and three at the cuffs--and a single centre vent.
It does have two minor issues: The buttons have some patina, and there are three small mis-weave holes on the left-hand sleeve where the warp and weft failed to meet, the worst of which is shown. As such, this jacket is in Very Good condition, and so is just $25 > 22, or offer.

14) STUNNING plaid tweed from Browning of Fifth Avenue
This is absolutely gorgeous! The plaid of this jacket is wonderful, a combination of slate grey, mustard yellow, pale lichen green on an applecore tan base, it's an once bold and very very classic--a true Trad tweed!

It has two button cuffs, subtle darts, and hacking pockets; it also features a twin vent. It was, of course, made in the USA.
This jacket does have some minor age stains in the lining at the armholes, and it *might* have a minor mark on the lapel--this is very hard to see, and might simply be part of the pattern anyway.

15) CLASSIC Herringbone Harris Tweed from Wallach's.
SOLD
Since I've just listed a Browning tweed, I might as well follow with a tweed from one of Browning's main rivals--Wallach's, another great Fifth Avenue menswear store that has now long gone.
Cut from a beautiful and traditional Harris tweed that features alternating strips of nailhead and herringbone for a lovely complex pattern that's shot through with vertical stripes of sky-blue and light orange, this beautiful tweed has three button cuffs, a two-button front, and a single centre vent. It is half-lined and half-canvassed, and the buttons are all the classic leather-covered football buttons.

17) GORGEOUS Harris Tweed by PBM for diTorio's of Pennington, NJ!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HASN"T BEEN CLAIMED--it's GORGEOUS!
This is gorgeous--and hits a trifecta of desirability! First, this is a beautiful herringbone Harris Tweed of just the right weight--not too heavy, and not too flimsy. The colorway is wonderful--a mid-range grey herringbone shot through with vertical striping in berry red, sky blue, and burnt orange. Second, this jacket was made by PBM--one of the most underrated American clothiers. It was made in the USA, in Philadelphia, and is half-canvassed and half-lined, with a two button front and subtle darting. It features three button cuffs--and all of the buttons are leather-covered, metal shanked football buttons. It has a single centre vent. Third, this was made for DiTorio's of Pennington, NJ; a wonderful old-fashioned menswear shop that is now long gone, but which served the old-money town of Pennington with distinction for decades.
Pennington was the fictional home of the hero of Frederick Forsyth's novel *Avenger*, with its tree-lined streets and clapboard houses being described in one of the early chapters. It's a pre-Revoluntary War town, and the churchyard walls are marked with a plaque noting that British troops used to exercise their horses over them. It's the sort of place Muffy would feel at home at.... quieter and less cosmopolitan than its neighbour Princeton, and ideal to wear a jacket like this in!
This jacket is in excellent condition--and given its pedigree and quality, it's a steal at just $35 > 32, or offer!

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 $25, or offer.

6) GORGEOUS Kilgour, French, and Stanbury Barleycorn tweed
This is absolutely beautiful! Cut from a stunningly beautiful barleycorn tweed, the colourway and patterning of this jacket is wonderful--from a distance, it appears to be a standard grey-blue herringbone, albeit one with no clear boning definition; when you get closer, it reveals as a barleycorn with beautiful flecks of forest green, sky blue, berry red, cream, and pumpkin orange throughout. This is a really, really lovely tweed, which is beautifully complemented by the use of leather wrap buttons in burnished chestnut brown on metal shanks--more elegant and far more rare than their football cousins.
The colourway and patterning of this jacket are fully justified by its construction. Fully canvassed and fully lined, this has a contemporary two button front and four button cuffs. The interior pockets all feature tab and button latches for security--a very nice touch and indicative of the attention to detail in this jacket. This jacket was made by Kilgour, French, and Stanbury, the British Savile Row tailoring firm, for Barney's of New York. This jacket was Union made in the USA, and has a single centre vent.
This is in absolutely excellent condition, and hence is a steal at just $60 > 55, or offer--a steal for a jacket of this quality in this highly desirable size!

7) GRAIL! Donegal Mist Tweed by Magee of Co. Donegal, Ireland.
SOLD
Donegal Mist tweed is simply wonderful--there's a reason that J. Press chose this cloth above all others to be the standard for its flagship line of tweeds! Woven from a blend of wool (60%), kid mohair (35%), and cashmere (5%), this tweed has an unrivalled hand and drape. This particular example is a beautiful herringbone that's a heathery mixture of moss green and sky blue for the coloured boning, and cream for the neutral complement boning, which is a wonderful, soft, and utterly Irish colourway. As with all Donegal Mists, the actual weaver who produced the cloth is identified, and his woven signature appears on the label. This jacket was made by Magee of Co. Donegal, Ireland--the premier Irish tweed makers.
The cut and construction of this jacket do full justice to the beautiful fabric that it's cut from. A contemporary two button closure, this jacket has two button cuffs with faux buttonholes. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a classic British twin vent at the rear.
This jacket presents as being in excellent condition. However, it does have two blemishes--two small snag holes on the front. These are initially hard to see, but they are there--one of the right hand side and one on the left. They're small, and could be rewoven, or else you could simply ignore them--my preferred course of action!
Because of these, this jacket is only in Good condition (although without them it would be excellent), and so is only $26 > 24, or offer.

Chest: 22
Sleeve: 26 3/4 (+1 3/4)

8) GRAIL! STUNNING British Country Hacking Jacket by Brooks Brothers. NWOT. UNWORN!
SOLD
This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I have full provenance on this jacket, and so know that it was only tried on, once, after the basting from the pockets and the vents was removed--so this qualifies as being new, without tags, and unworn!
This is truly beautiful--possibly the pinnacle of Brooks' tailoring. It is cut from a gorgeous mossy-licheny green twill with a beautiful estate overcheck in winterberry red and dark bracken brown. The jacket's cut and construction do full justice to the beauty of the cloth. It features slanted hacking pockets, and a slanted ticket pocket, all of which are flapped with wonderful pattern matching throughout. It has a two button front, and sharp British darting; it also features twin vents, which are secured in place with a strip of lining fabric running horizontally in the interior--one of the hallmarks of a very, very well made jacket. It has four button cuffs, in a deep burnished chestnut brown.
This jacket is fully canvassed and fully lined. It was recently Union made in the USA for Brooks Brothers. This is in immaculate condition.
Given the beauty of this jacket, and its sterling condition, it's a steal at just $95 > 85, or lower offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.

15) CLASSIC Herringbone Harris Tweed from Wallach's.
SOLD
Since I've just listed a Browning tweed, I might as well follow with a tweed from one of Browning's main rivals--Wallach's, another great Fifth Avenue menswear store that has now long gone.

17) GORGEOUS Harris Tweed by PBM for diTorio's of Pennington, NJ!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HASN"T BEEN CLAIMED--it's GORGEOUS!
This is gorgeous--and hits a trifecta of desirability! First, this is a beautiful herringbone Harris Tweed of just the right weight--not too heavy, and not too flimsy. The colorway is wonderful--a mid-range grey herringbone shot through with vertical striping in berry red, sky blue, and burnt orange. Second, this jacket was made by PBM--one of the most underrated American clothiers. It was made in the USA, in Philadelphia, and is half-canvassed and half-lined, with a two button front and subtle darting. It features three button cuffs--and all of the buttons are leather-covered, metal shanked football buttons. It has a single centre vent. Third, this was made for DiTorio's of Pennington, NJ; a wonderful old-fashioned menswear shop that is now long gone, but which served the old-money town of Pennington with distinction for decades.
Pennington was the fictional home of the hero of Frederick Forsyth's novel *Avenger*, with its tree-lined streets and clapboard houses being described in one of the early chapters. It's a pre-Revoluntary War town, and the churchyard walls are marked with a plaque noting that British troops used to exercise their horses over them. It's the sort of place Muffy would feel at home at.... quieter and less cosmopolitan than its neighbour Princeton, and ideal to wear a jacket like this in!
This jacket is in excellent condition--and given its pedigree and quality, it's a steal at just $35 > 32, or offer!
