As always, I OFFER FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING IN THE CONUS; International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost.
Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Please PM with interest and offers!
1) UNWORN GORGEOUS Jacket in Baird McNutt Irish Linen!
SOLD
This is absolutely beautiful! As you no doubt know, Baird McNutt is the premier linen producers in Ireland, having been one of the last of the major mills to be founded (in 1912) using traditional Atherton looms. They focused on handkerchiefs until teh 1960s, when they started making linen for clothing for the Italian market; they quickly established themselves as one of the top mills in Ireland.
And this cloth shows why. It's beautiful--lovely and sturdy and cool, and with a fantastic patterning and colourway--a glen plaid check in Irish green, peat black, and Royal blue, with a lovely dark tan base. This is a gorgeous jacket, and if it could be made to fit me it wouldn't be here!
It features the ever-desirable and rare three patch pockets, including the breast pocket, a standard two button front and four button cuffs, It is half-lined, and features a single centre vent. This jacket is unworn; the centre vent is still basted shut. This is thus in absolutely excellent condition.
Asking just $45, or offer.

2) BEAUTIFUL Brooks Brothers "Country Club" Saxxon Jacket in Wool/Silk
This is absolutely gorgeous! The patterning and colourway of this jacket is simply perfect for Spring and Summer, being a miniature houndstooth in blue and cream, with an overcheck in Spring green. The cloth is a blend of 75% wool and 25% silk, with a lovely hand and drape. The jacket is a standard contemporary two button model, with subtle darting and four button cuffs. It is fully canvassed, and fully lind in bemberg--the best lining material, in my view! It also has a single centre vent.
This is from Brooks Brothers' "Country Club" "Saxxon" line. This was Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.
Asking just $45, or offer.

3) UNWORN and LOVELY Ralph Lauren Chaps Jacket--Made in the USA from Italian cloth!
This jacket represents a classic example of why you should pay attention to the jacket and not to the label! This is a truly lovely jacket; cut from cloth woven in Italy (clearly wool, although not marked), the colourway and patterning are lovely; a miniature houndstooth in slate-grey and black on a grey-blue base, with lovely chestnut overchecking. The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, and is a contemporary two button model with subtle darts. It has four button cuffs and a single centre vent, and was Union Made in the USA.
It is also clearly unworn; all of the exterior pockets are still basted shut. As such, it is in excellent condition.
Asking just $35, or offer.
Measurements:
Chest: 20
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18

4) LOVELY USA Union-Made Bespoke Jacket; working cuffs, twin vent!
SOLD
Made for a former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, this lovely jacket is cut from a cloth that's perfect for Spring and early Fall. The colourway and patterning are also both appropriate for these seasons, being a lovely plaid in dark greens, brackens, and slate blue-grey.
The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined and features a considerable amount of handwork, including pick stitching on the lapels, the pocket flaps, and in the lining. It also features working surgeon's cuffs. It is a contemporary two button model with subtle darts, and a twin vent; at some point it received an addition to the lining in the centre, possibly by the original tailor given the quality of the work.
This jacket is in excellent condition, is of beautiful quality, and is an absolute steal at just $39, or offer.
Measures:
Chest: 22 3/4
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1)
Shoulder: 18 3/4

5) PERFECT Spring tweed--with surgeon's cuffs!
SOLD
This is that rarity--a tweed with functional surgeon's cuffs! Made by Main Line Custom Tailoring--a firm which served the preppy "Main Line" commuters of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and the like--this tweed is absolutely beautiful! First, it is a lovely lighter-coloured tweed herringbone, perfect for Spring, with a lovely Spring overchecking of sky blue, tearose pink, Spring green, primrose yellow, and slate grey. This is fully lined with a custom lining, and features fully functional surgeon's cuffs. The buttons are all leather-covered, metal-shanked football buttons. This jacket has jetted pockets, and is half-canvassed. It is unvented, in Flusser approved style. It does have one minor weave fault on the right sleeve, near the elbow--this could either be ignored, darned, or covered with an elbow patch. Since this was built on the Philadelphia main line, it was, of course, Made in the USA. With the exception of the weave fault, this is in excellent condition; as such, it's a steal at
just $32, or offer.

Chest: 21 1/2

7) 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. This is a standard two button model with subtle darts and four button cuffs; it is fully lined, and has a single centre vent. I believe that the buttons are horn, but I'm not certain of this! This jacket was Made in the USA.
It is slightly rumpled from storage, and has some minor loose stitching in the lining at the vent, as shown; as such, it is in Very Good condition, and so it is just $30, or offer.
