PS1) GRAIL! Absolutely Gorgeous Hand-Tailored J. Press 3/2 sack suit in Glen Plaid check.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 23 1/4 (+2)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 30 1/2
Waist: 17 3/4
Inseam: 28 (+1) with 1 3/4" cuff.
The Glen Plaid check--also known as the Prince of Wales check, or the Glenurquhart check--was first developed in the C19th by the Countess of Seafield in Invernesshire, Scotland, as the pattern for her estate tweeds.
The then Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) liked this check so much that he had many country tweeds made in it--hence its name "Prince of Wales". It was then popularized in the United States by his grandson, the Duke of Windsor--formerly Edward VII, and husband to the American Mrs. Simpson. Given America's democratic approach "Prince of Wales" was unacceptable, and Glenurquhart too, well, difficult, and so it became "Glen Plaid".
This suit is cut from a beautiful example of Glen Plaid check--a lovely light grey and cream base with a discreet singe-thread blue overcheck. It is--as you'd expect from Press--a 3/2 sack with a lovely liquid lapel roll. It is half-canvassed and half-lined and has a three button cuff.
The trousers are flat-front and cuffed. This was, of course, Union Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.
Asking just $75, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
