1) H. Freeman for The English Shop of Princeton--SIlk/Wool Spring Tweed!
SOLD
This is beautiful! Made by H. Freeman of Philadelphia--and probably made IN Philadelphia--this lovely jacket was produced for The English Shop of Princeton, one of the Big Four Princeton clothiers that dominated campus clothing during TNSIL Golden Age... all of which have now gone, apart from Hilton. Although there is no fabric content listed, this is clearly a blend of wool and silk, as it has the clear slubbiness of the latter fabric and the resilience of the former. With its relatively lighter weight, lovely texturing, and beautiful blue-grey herringbone colourway this is a really wonderful Spring tweed!
It's half-canvassed and fully lined, and features a single centre vent and three button cuffs. It is also that Trad rarity--a genuine two-button sack. It has a single centre vent, and was, of course, Union made in the USA. It has lovely natural shoulders. It is in excellent condition.
Asking just $45, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 17 1/5
Length: 31 1/2
2) BEAUTIFUL 3/2 Spring/Summer Jacket by Coppley
SOLD
This is a truly lovely jacket! Made by Coppley, this was, when new, a ferociously expensive jacket, and its quality shows why. Cut from a blend of 67% wool and 33% silk this has a wonderful hand and drape, and he colourway and patterning does this full justice--a lovely basketweave pattern in slate-grey, English mustard gold, and a tan base. This jacket is a rare darted jacket with a 3/2 lapel roll. It is unvented, in Flusser approved style. It is half-canvassed and fully lined. It was Made in Canada.
This is in excellent condition, and is a steal at just $39 > 35, or offer.

This is a lighter-weight jacket, which makes it ideal for Spring and early Fall; it is half-canvassed and fully lined. It is unvented, in Flusser approved style, and is darted.

5) HANDWORK GALORE! GORGEOUS Custom Made Coral Coloured Jacket. Working cuffs!
SOLD
This is absolutely STUNNING--it's hard to know where to begin with the description! Made for Ken Bradt, the current CEO of Case Funding Inc., and formerly the subject of an interview in "Private Wealth Magazine", this jacket is truely beautiful. First, the colour--a wonderful coral pink, truly elegant rather than GTH, and the epitome of a Spring-Summer colouring for the Hamptons or the more elegant evening restaurants on Nantucket. (My pictures utterly fail to capture the rare beauty of this colour!) The jacket is also beautifully cut, with subtle darting and a twin vent. The cuffs are fully functional. This is a contemporary two-button jacket, and is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has handwork galore; pick stitching on the pocket flaps, in the interior, on the lapels, and on the facing closing edges. This jacket was made in the USA--of course!--and is in absolutely excellent condition.
UPDATE: Although no fabric is listed, I'm almost certain this is high quality linen; it's too light for wool (and lacks its texture, anyway), and it lacks the slubbiness of silk!
Asking just $65, or offer, for this beautiful gem!

The perfect Spring-Summer jacket! This is a classic 3/2 sack from Brooks Brothers in a wonderful ivory-cream crosshatch fabric. There's no fabric content listed, but this is likely to be a wool-silk blend. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a single centre vent. It is in absolutely excellent condition, except for thre literal pinholes in the lining at the shoulders, as shown. It was Union made in the USA. This is a truly beautiful, classic, elegant jacket for the warmer months--if it's your size, grab it!
Asking just $50 > 45, or offer.

8) Wonderful Brooks Brothers Spring-SUmmer jacket in light tobacco
This is a lovely Spring-Summer jacket! A contemporray two button model with subtle darting, this jacket is cut from either lighter-weight wool, or, more likely, from a wool-linen blend. It's a lovely shade of light Virginia tobacco with a wonderful texture. Half-canvassed and fully lined, this jacket has a single centre vent and was Made in the USA. It does have two flaws--some wear/rubbing to both cuffs, as shown, and a minor watermark to the lining in the shoulders, also shown.. The cuff wear isn't that noticeable, but it does preclude this from being a jacket suitable for the workplace--unless you were to take up the cuffs or have them repaired by a tailor. Given these flaws this jacket is in Good/Very Good condition, and is priced very well at just
$19, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS!

15) GORGEOUS Hong Kong Bespoke Guncheck by Ying Tai of the Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong.
SOLD
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!

19) SIlk-Linen Blend (?) Jacket by Jim Herron.
This is a lovely Spring and Summer jacket! While there's no fabric content listed, it seems to be a silk-linen blend; there is certainly silk in it as it has the lovely slubbiness that only silk can impart. The colourway is lovely for Spring and Summer; a lovely subdued taupe base with a golden wheat and slate grey overcheck.
