Any interest in British tweed jackets?

[Micawber]

I have a several good quality tweed jackets that I'm thinking of parting with as the tweeds are just not 'me' if you know what I mean. They are all around a size 42R and come from the likes of John G Hardy. Would there be any interest for such garments here?

 

[moustache]

I have no doubts that interest abounds!!! I only wish i wore a size 42!!
Drats!!! Maybe i could eat my way to a 42??? lol lol

Better not.

I'm sure you will have no problem finding interest,Steve.

Agreed...

Definite interest in tweeds and such, however I'm a 38 short. Give it a try.

42-43R here. Pls post pix!

 

[GA Wildlifer]

Me too ...

I wear a 41-42R and would love to see some pictures. I like tweeds in general and have been looking for a herringbone with green and brown.

Got photos? Like Fletch, I'm a 42 (or, depending on the maker, a 41 Long). Pix!

 

[Micawber]

Ok, I'll have a rummage and take some pics soon.

 

[Fletch]

It'd be awfully decent of you, old man...

 

[ideaguy]

If you've something in a 44R I'd be very interested...thanks

 

[Micawber]

Ok here's the first one, apologies for the delay but what with Christmas and all that....

SB, 2 button, double vent in summer weight tweed by John G Hardy. Size approx 42s. Includes working cuff buttons & 3 interior pockets.

Back length (bottom of collar to hem) 29.5 - 30 ins.
Pit to pit 22 - 22.5 ins.

Good used condition - could do with a clean to freshen up, if the price is right I will get this done before dispatch.

Price - open to offers really so pm me with your thoughts or might entertain trades on size 7 1/4 hats.

 

[Micawber]

Ok, here is another John G Hardy

This one is SB, labelled as 42s, 3 button, double vent a heavier weight than above 100% wool in a dazzling (not for the fainthearted) check with hacking style slant exterior pockets, 3 interior pockets, 3 non function cuff buttons. Only worn a very few times so in as new condition.

Length (from bottom of collar to hem) 29.5 - 30 ins.
Pit - pit 22.

This jacket really does make an impact when worn. Price - open to offers or trades in similar size clothes or approx 7 1/4 hats. PM me and lets talk.

 

[Micawber]

And another...

SB, 2 button (leather), double vent, 4 interior pockets in very nice 100% Teviotex of Hawick wool herringbone tweed with olive, blue etc windowpane check in hardly worn so virtually as new condition.

Labelled as 42s but of a more generous cut than the above so would prob still fit 43/44.

Back length (from bottom of collar to hem) 29.5 - 30.
Pit - pit 22.5.

Price etc as above - only parting with it as my wardrobe is bulging at the moment

 

[Micawber]

Lastly (for now) a vintage SB in very heavy Welsh wool

A vintage Welsh (purchased as being from Lerry) wool SB in very heavy off white / black & grey large houndstooth tweed. 3 button, working cuff buttons, no vent, 5 interior pockets including 2 poachers pockets with support straps.

No labels. Minor damage / wear to lining on one side around pocket area (5th photo down) and could do with a clean to freshen up.

Back length (from bottom of collar to hem) 31.
Pit - pit 22 - 22.5

Would suit 42, 43, poss 44.

An extremely heavy eye catching tweed in a weight that is just not available today. Price etc as above.

 

[Micawber]

No interest?

 

[Micawber]

I'm not looking for any more than $30 - $75 each for these jackets and need the wardrobe space so feel free to make me an offer

 

[slicedbread]

if those were my size, I'd be all over them! come on guys!

 

[vonwotan]

Micawber - Great jackets! If only they were from another retired amateur jockey... I am always looking for tweed jackets or coats in my size but they are a rare find. Now that my last two are a bit threadbare, I may need to break down and have two more made... I have a favorite search set up on eBay for Harris Tweed jackets in my size but have yet to find a new listing.

 

[Viviene]

And what size might that be? There are other places besides Ebay that have those wonderful jackets.

 

[vonwotan]

Viviene - I am a 34 short, very short - when I can splurge for a custom jacket they are just under 29" long (back collar to hem). I have found a wonderful tailor who has some of my favourite vintage fashion prints on his wall, and is eager to make me clothing in these styles, but he is one of, if not the best, of Boston's tailors and quite expensive. Any time I can find goo quality clothing close enough for my tailor to fix I feel almost obligated to make the purchase.
