Great jacket! My bid is in.

Luverly fabric. This one should go high … really like the pockets.

This auction has ended ... and it didn't end up skyrocketing.


Did a Fedora Lounger win it? Please let us know!

 

[Johnny J]

Not wanting to start a new belted back thread, I'll post here about a jacket I'd love to own (the price is well out of my range, alas).

Guys, A quick note, we remeasured this jacket and it is a 37 chest, 20" armpit to armpit. So 3" of ease.

i've just bought this jacket. when it gets here i'll take my own pics and put them in the 30s sports jacket thread.
the fabric appears to be a Palm Beach type blend of rayon and cotton (and / or wool).

HBK - Looks beautiful.

It really is a beautiful jacket.
If impossible to find trousers matching the colour...what will be second best?

 

[herringbonekid]

alsendk,

i wouldn't try to match the trousers to the jacket because it might look like a failed attempt to create a suit; that's one rule that most tend to agree with.
for summer i like a mismatched looks of various shades of white and cream / off-white / light browns. light grey trousers woud also work.

 

[Chasseur]

VERY NICE! That is an elegantly made back.

Please do show us some pics when you get it in.

Congrats. The jacket is Über-Kool. I am very envious.

Congrats. The jacket is Über-Kool.

:arated: Absolutely fantastic find! :eusa_clap

I am very envious.

Now that's exactly the part I've been trying to give up on...and guess what? I failed!

 

[Mario]

Since we're talking belted backs...did anyone here win this one? Went for a song...

Cheap-ish, but not really for a song. For a tight size 36, in a not overly interesting fabric and not overly elaborate back treatment, that's probably a fair price. These jackets aren't really all that rare (obviously rarer than the regular jacket) in smaller sizes. They were "youth" styles after all.

Nice pockets.
