1) CLASSIC Made in England Baracuta G9 Jacket
SOLD
THE classic Ivy jacket for Spring, this Baracuta is the real deal--Made in England, with the classic tartan red lining, and all the good looks that Steve McQueen made famous! This particular jacket is an older piece, and has signs of wear; in particular, it has staining on the collar, at the neck, and on the sleeves; these are unlikely to come out with dry cleaning. One of the collar buttons has also snapped in half, but since this is on the underside of the collar it can't be seen when worn. Overall, this jacket is in Good condition, and is ready to give years of casual use.
Asking just $40, or offer.
Tagged a 42L, this measures:
Chest: 21
Sleeve: 34 1/2
Shoulder: NA--raglan.
Length: 27
2) AWESOME Columbia GoreTex Camo. Hunting Jacket
This is wonderful, and if it was anywhere near my size I'd keep it! This jacket is simply packed with features. First, it has two snap-shut, flapped bellows pockets at the bottom of the front; these are complemented by two zipped slash pockets on the chest, which are covered by flaps that fold down are are attached by velcro; the left hand flap also covered a D-ring for kings or calls, and two slots for cartridge shells; the right hand flap covers two slots for cartridge shells also. The front is both snap and zipper fastened. The sleeves have velcro storm cuffs. It includes a snap-on hood with a drawstring to keep the elements out. It includes a large interior game pocket, and a large, zippered map/wallet pocket. This is a wonderful, functional jacket!
It has a few minor scuffs from use, but nothing major. It's in Very Good condition.
Asking just $45 > 40
Tagged an XXL, this measures:
Chest: 28
Sleeve: c. 37 1/2
Shoulder: Raglan, so NA
Length: 31
3) Triple Goose Down Jacket--80% duck feathers, 20% other waterfowl.
A very warm and lightweight jacket, this is filled with waterfowl feathers, 80% of which are duck, 20% other waterfowl. (Penguins, for example.) This features velcro fasteners on the cuffs for a tight and draught-free fit, and a small chest pocket with a zipper closure. Excellent for when you want warmth without weight!
Asking just $22 > 20, or offer.
Size L. Measurements:
Chest: 24
Sleeve: c. 37 (measured like a shirt)
Shoulder: 24 (slopes into the sleeve)
Length: 26 3/4

For when you need warmth without weight, this would be perfect! It features two slash handwarmer pockets on the front, a zipped security pocket on the arm, and storm cuffs. Possibly down-filled?
Asking $14, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 27 (large owing to bulk)
Sleeve: c. 36 (measured like a shirt)
Length: 25.5
5) Split Cowhide Rancher Jacket. Made in the USA.
I bought this for myself for farmwork, but it's too small--which is a pity, as this is a seriously rugged and warm jacket! Made from split cowhide, this has a great oversized collar that turns up for wind resistance, oversized leather-covered, metal-shanked buttons for closure, and two slash handwarmer pockets. This has everything you'd want in a work jacket, with no frills at all.
There's no flaws or major scuffs on this jacket, but it's an older piece, and so it's in Very Good condition.
Asking just $30 > 28 > 26, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.
Tagged 40, but could also work for a 38. Measurements:

6) STUNNING Made in Italy Armani leather jacket
NOW JUST $50, OR OFFER!
This is absolutely beautiful! Dating from when Armani was King, and all Armani products were of the very highest quality, this beautiful leather jacket is a wonderful exemplar of why Armani was so desirable before the diffusion lines took over.
It's difficult to know where to begin with this jacket, so let's start with the leather, which is beautifully, buttery soft--from the very first touch this is clearly a very expensive, luxurious jacket. The construction of the jacket reflects the leather quality--all of the seams are thickly double stitched, and beautifully placed and shaped to provide this jacket with the drape and elegance that Armani was known for. This jacket features two front pockets, and drawstings at both the waist and the neck; these are both intact and fully functional. The jacket fastens with both zipper and studs, all of which operate cleanly and smoothly. The jacket is lined in a wool blend (75% wool, 25% other fibre), which is soft and warm; the interior of the sleeves are quilted for ease of wear, and the shoulder area in quilted for extra warmth. The jacket has a single interior pocket. The colour of the jacket is hard to describe, but might be best construed as a dark mid grey. The cuffs are elasticated and buttoned; the elastication is still fully functional and has no loss of stretch. The jacket features ventilation grommets under the arms.
The jacket does have some minor scratches and nicks (on the shoulder and on one sleeves), but these are very minor. It also has some areas of fading on the front and on the sleeves, which present as blotches; these add, rather than detract, to the character of the jacket, and make this a wonderfully expensive jacket that you won't be afraid to wear! There is also a button missing from one cuff.
Owing to these imperfections, I would say that this jacket is in Very Good condition overall, and, as such, I'm asking just $55 > 50, boxed, shipped in CONUS OR OFFER--a steal for a jacket of this quality and in this size!
Measurements:
Chest: 23
Sleeve: 23 1/4 (from seam); c. 36 measured like a shirt.
Shoulder: 22 3/4 (see sleeve measurement; this shoulder drapes)
Length: 27 1/4
7) CLASSIC Schott Leather Vest.
Made in Elizabeth NJ by Schott, the people who quite literally invented the classic biker jacket (the Schott Perfecto), this lovely, classic leather vest is in absolutely excellent condition, and features Schott's signature lining.
Asking just $30 > 28 > 26, or offer.
Measures:
Width: 18 1/4
Length: 26 1/4
(Likely best fit c. 40)
8) GORGEOUS Overcoat in Italian Black Herringbone Cloth
SOLD
This is the coat you'd wear after a late Fall class teaching Political Science at Princeton University, c. 1968, on your way to the Barrister & Solicitor for a steak dinner with the Dean!
This is simply wonderful--about as close to the Platonic ideal of an Ivy overcoat as one is likely to come by outside the Forms!
First, this is cut from beautifully heavy cloth in black herringbone, that was designed and woven in Italy--as proudly proclaimed by the main interior label, which itself is a wonderful example of vintage labelling. As well as being lovely and heavy and warm, sure to beat the cold on even the worst New York winter day, this cloth has a wonderful hand and immaculate drape.
The construction of the coat does full justice to the cloth that it is cut from. It is half-canvassed, and features lapped seams throughout--on the sleeves, and down the centre back. It has fixed turn-back cuffs, and wonderfully narrow lapels. It also has a single centre hook vent, and very natural shoulders. The two front pockets are luxuriously deep, and lined in sturdy cotton duck.
This coat was Made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition.
Asking just $45 > 40, or offer, boxed and shipped in the CONUS.
Measurements:
Chest: 23 3/4
Sleeve: 26
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 43 1/2
9) Dewmoor Topcoat for Boyd's of Philadelphia
Unlike most classic Ivy clothiers, Boyd's on Philadelphia is still going, and this coat is a testament to why it's successful. Cut from a lovely heavier mid-weight cloth in miniature reverse-herringbone weave in a shade of black, this coat is half-canvassed and fully lined. It features a three button front, two button cuffs, and a sack cut. It also has a single centre vent. It features an interior side pocket. As with all older pieces it could use a dry clean just to freshen it up, but otherwise it's in excellent condition.
Asking just $30 > 26 > 24, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 24 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 18 3/4
Length: 41
10) FOR HER! Woolrich Peacoat-style coat. Size Woman's Medium.
Tired of receiving those looks when yet another parcel arrives for you? Well, now your chance to hand one over, and say, "Actually, this one's for you..."
This is a lovely peacoat-style woman's coat from Woolrich. Unlike most Woolrich offerings, this was Made in the USA. It features two deep front handwarmer pockets, storm cuffs, and is unvented. It is all wool, and features a warm quilted lining. This coat does have some wear to the front buttonholes, which could readily be rectified, and so is in Very Good condition.
Asking just $22 > 20, or offer.

Bust: 22
Sleeve: 23 1/2

11) MADE IN THE USA LOVELY and SUBSTANTIAL tweed overcoat!
Thick, sturdy, warm, and substantial, this is a tweed overcoat as they were meant to be! Fully lined, and with a single centre vent, this has two button cuffs, is cut from a classic and masculine nailhead tweed, and will be sure to keep you warm on the coldest of nights! This was distributed by Harry Rothman of Fifth Avenue, and was Union Made in the USA!
This is in excellent condition.
Asking just $35 > 32, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 24 1/4
Sleeve: 28 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 19
Length: 47 1/2
12) Hart, Schaffner, Marx Shadow Plaid Topcoat
This is a lovely coat! Although there is no fabric content listed, this is clearly wool, and possibly gabardine, judging by the feel of it. It's certainly a lovely pattern and colourway, being a beautiful and versatile shadowplaid in dark warm browns and blacks. This appears to be fully canvassed, and was certainly Union Made in the USA. It is fully lined, and features two deep front pockets. It has raglan sleeves for ease of movement. It does have one small flaw, a small snag on the top right quarter near the shoulder, and so this is in Very Good condition.
As such, I'm asking just $15, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS.
Measurements:
Chest: 23
Sleeve: c. 36
Shoulder: NA
Length: 41
13) Land's End Casual jacket.
A basic, casual jacket; 60% wool, 20% rayon, 20% polyester. Button cuffs; buttons at throat to secure the collar for warmth. Excellent condition, although it could do with a dry clean. This has two large interior pockets, and some elastication at the hem.
Asking just $15 > 12.
