27) Basketweave tweed by Barrister for Wallach's.

28) WONDERFUL HEAVY Dunn & Co jacket from England, in highly complex tapestry weave!
SOLD
This is another wonderful, rare jacket! This isn't rare because of its maker--Dunn & Co. jackets aren't common, but they are nowhere near the rarity of Constable jackets--but because of the heft, patterning, and colourway of the tweed it's cut from. This is a serious piece of kit--you couldn't dog sled across Antarctica in it, but it wouldn't mind you trying, and would happily survive your demise to be used for decades after your body is found by someone else. This is a VERY heavy piece of tweed--the sort that crusty old colonels would refer to as bullet-proof. This is tweed as it's supposed to be--heavy, durable, beautiful, and pretty much ready to last for the better part of a century with routine care.
In addition to the sheer heaviness and hard-wearingness of the tweed, the complex patterning and colourway (a heathery mix of bracken, moss green, peat black, and cream) is wonderful! This is a lovely example of hardwearing tapestry--my pictures just do not do it justice, but its' a wonderfully complex medley of textures and colours, and utterly striking while still being conservative enough for everyday wear.
This is a very rare and lovely cloth indeed!
And the jacket lives up to the cloth. Cut with a traditional English three button front, this features single button cuffs and a single centre vent. It appears to be fully canvassed, and, while there is no country of origin, it is clearly made in England. It is fully lined.
The tweed itself is in excellent condition. The lining in the armpits and on the right hand side has undergone minor repairs, but these won't be seen at all when worn. There is also some minor loose stitching in the vent, which is an easy fix. As such, and only because of the minor lining issues, this is in Very Good condition.
As such, this is a steal at just $25, or offer--a bargain for a jacket of this quality, in this smaller size!

29) BEAUTIFUL Autumnal Plaid jacket by Lauren
SOLD

This jacket also features two flapped patch pockets on the front, as well as a hacking-slanted breast pocket--which is still basted shut. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, as is that modern rarity, a two button sack. It has four button cuffs, complete with faux buttonholes, and desirable twin vents. This jacket is in absolutely excellent condition--it is likely unworn.
Asking just $20, or offer.

This is absolutely gorgeous!

Made for Browning of Fifth Avenue--one of the trio of menswear stores that also included Rogers Peet and Wallach's, and that served as the anchors of the more southerly stretch of Fifth Avenue, serving the office workers of Midtown who commuted in from Connecticut and the nicer parts of New Jersey--this jacket is fully lined. 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. Given these issues--or, possibly, issue--this is a bargain at just $18, or offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.

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! Made for Browning of Fifth Avenue--one of the trio of menswear stores that also included Rogers Peet and Wallach's, and that served as the anchors of the more southerly stretch of Fifth Avenue, serving the office workers of Midtown who commuted in from Connecticut and the nicer parts of New Jersey--this jacket is fully lined. 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. Given these issues--or, possibly, issue--this is a bargain at just $18, or offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.

37) LOVELY British-Inspired Guncheck! LIKELY UNWORN
