For sale is a Howard Yount Royal Blue blazer I picked up last summer from a SF member. It is in good condition and has no tears/stains/rips of any kind. However, there are a few things that need to be mentioned.
1) The buttons were replaced by the original owner to caramel brown as opposed to the traditional brass buttons. I kept it like this as I believe they are more pleasing.
2) The original owner has the sleeves shortened and there wasn't enough material to lengthen them so my tailor added some fabric to the sleeves under the cuff to make them longer. No one will notice but you but it does make the cuff a bit heavier at the bottom of the sleeve. As such, I am marking down this item quite a bit. I have included a picture to give you an idea.
Otherwise, it is a great, half canvassed blazer in a beautiful royal blue color that is no longer available on HY's website. It is dual vented, lined only in the shoulders, light-weight, and has a nice drape. It also has 3 patch pockets which make for a nice casual touch. I wore it quite often last summer but the wool is resilient and barely wrinkles. it has a slight hopsack texture which looks amazing in the sunlight.
Measurements
Chest p2p-21.5 inches
shoulders-18.5
length from back of collar-30.25
sleeves-25
waist buttoned-20
I am looking for $135 with free priority shipping in the US. Please feel free to PM with any questions. This blazer is a great deal and I hope someone picks it up!
