AThis is a trad summer classic--a 3/2 half-canvassed sack with patch pockets, made for Ballot of Princeton--one of the Big Four (literally, an "IV League") of tradly Princeton clothiers, of which only Hilton survives.

This jacket is from Ballot's summer classic Wash-and-Wear (or, better, dry-clean and wear!) line (endorsed by Giuseppe of An Affordable Wardrobe, although there's of fabric content listed. It's half-canvassed, as mentioned earlier, and half-lined--and the lining is spotless! The jacket as a whole is in excellent condition, except that there's a shadow of a mark above the top buttonhole, as shown. This is very faint (I only found it when photographing the jacket), but it is there, and so even though it might well disappear or fade further with dry cleaning it needs to be noted.

Given this, this jacket is in very Good condition only, and hence asking just $27, or offer, shipped in CONUS. International inquiries welcome, with shipping at cost!

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 26 (+2)
length: 31 3/4
Sleeve: 18 1/2
