AAAThis lovely classic Donegal Tweed jacket in the classic Donegal pepper-and-salt tweed, flecked with gorse yellow and autumn red, was made from cloth woven in Co. Donegal by Michael O'Boule, whose signature appears on the interior label. Unlike many "Donegal tweeds" sold today, this is the real deal--a tweed that was woven by hand in Donegal, Ireland.
The Weavers of Donegal
by Bridget Haggerty
Earthy browns of turf and moorland.
Gold of gorse and wheaten sheaves.
Greens of Ireland’s meads and pastures.
Rusts of Autumn leaves.
Reds from mountain ash and bramble.
Drifting peat smoke’s hazy grey.
Blues of slate, of sky, of speedwell.
White of hawthorn spray.
This jacket is half-canvassed, fully lined, and cut on traditional Irish lines with side vents. It does have one minor flaw--some loose stitching in the lining of one of the interior pockets, as shown. It could also use a dry-clean as it's been stored for a while--but there are no odours or anything like that, it could just use a freshening! And you'd do that anyway, right?
Overall, then, this is in Very Good/Excellent condition!
Asking just $50 > 45, or offer, shipped in CONUS. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost.
Measurements:
Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: 26 (+2)
Shoulder: 19 1/2
Length: 30
