SOLD Shoulder seam to seam - 18" Arm pit to pit - 20 1/2" Sleeve - 24" This sport coat has NO tags on it whatsoever. No fabric tag, fabric care, maker, country of origin, etc tags (however it is obviously wool). This is very strange, and I see no place where they would of been originally attached. However, the quality on this piece is very high - by looking at certain parts of the lining you can tell it's been worn a ton (the one flaw on the jacket is the stitching where the arm lining meets the jacket is coming undone a bit), but it still looks perfect on the outside. It's vintage, but I don't know how old. Fabric is still beautiful, to me this is what the trad / ivy league aesthetic is all about. Tons of life left in this classic piece, very classic styling. The jacket is a 3 button / roll to 2 with a very high third button. The jacket is fully canvassed, and features patch flap side pockets, and is undarted (of course). Also very soft / natural shoulders. Lining:

I probably would have bought this but I just a few days ago got a black/white donegal tweed suit custom made from HK. We'll see how it turns out in 3 weeks.
