TRAD GRAIL! THREE PIECE 3/2 SACK TWEED SUIT FROM J.PRESS!​

​

In absolutely excellent condition!​

This is perhaps one of THE Trad/Ivy Grails--a three piece 3/2 sack suit from J. Press in utterly versatile grey and cream herringbone--in absolutely excellent condition!

This suit really is gorgeous. Recently made for J. Press, the jacket is a classic 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll and three-button sleeves. It's half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a single hook vent at the back. It has traditional natural shoulders. The accompanying vest features four fully functional front pockets, and the trousers are flat-front (of course!) cuffed, and feature both belt loops and suspender buttons.

This suit is cut from a lighter mid-weight tweed, making it suitable for modern office wear. The colourway and patterning are both highly versatile--a traditional grey and cream colouring in a miniature herringbone pattern.

The whole suit is in absolutely excellent condition; the only thing that indicates that it is not new from Press is the previous owner's name on the lapel inside the interior pocket--this could easily be removed if desired.

A three-piece tweed suit of significantly inferior construction and provenance went for over $1,000 on ebay last year. That's crazy! This one is a very, very very fair $185, boxed shipped and insured in the CONUS. International inquiries are also welcome, with priority shipping at cost. OFFERS ARE ALSO VERY WELCOME!
