This is absolutely wonderful! Dating from the 1960s, this is a wonderful muted Glen Plaid in a muted colourway of petrol blue, forest green, and peat black that's evocative of the 1950s and 1960s, and is rarely, if ever, seen now. This has the classically 1960s narrow lapels, and two front flapped hacking pockets. It also has a fully functional hacking ticket pocket. It has a twin vent, as befits its Anglophile heritage, and two button cuffs. It is half canvassed, and half-lined.
This was Custom Tailored by Sears, back when they made very nice and very serious clothes indeed.... If you doubt this looking at today's Sears, just remember who brought us the original horsehide Hercules jackets!
This jacket is in Very Good condition; it has some minor fraying to the lining, as shown. As such, it's a steal at just $29, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/8
Sleeve: 24 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 29 1/2
