Wonderful suit, draws!

This one is good, too, except for the very short sleeves and trouser legs: www.ebay.com/itm/3000-PAUL-STUART-new-york-3pc-WINTER-TWEED-SUIT-44-R-us-54-eu-/380395505516

Here are several photos of a Bespoke Cricketeer Tweed 3 piece suit purchased on the Bay. Size 42Long.

great suit mate!

Now you need a fine double gun or a bamboo fly rod.

A sneak preview of 3 to appear in Classifieds (too big for me). None have the Harris tweed label, so let's call them "Scotch" tweeds (though 2 are almost certainly Harris).

First a beautiful heathery brown jacket from the middle 1940s (probably). The cut is identical to one I have that's dated 1946. This is a true classic:

Ticket pocket is a nice touch:

Twin rear vents:

The true colour:

This one is basically the identical fabric but different colourway. This one is a (not really blue enough for Lovat?) greenish blue. It's seen some wear, and has had the buttons removed. Still a lovely from a decent department store; dated 1954.

Once some buttons are applied, it will be a two-button front.

Ventless back

These are true buttonholes, and could be cut through to make a working cuff.

The label with washed out, but semi-readable date, top right.

And this one is a proper hacking jacket. Slanted pockets, no breast pocket, double rear vents. Wonderful tweed! I don't think I've ever seen more of a dead ringer for what the late 60s, early 1970s was aiming for in its "does 30s" period. This one is from the late 30s (probably)

Hmmm . . . what size are they and what are you asking? I could get interested in the first and last.

 

[Tomasso]

I love the last one.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

See the Classifieds.I listed them down there earlier today!

Just got this bad boy in the mail today! Early to mid-50's.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Rocks!! :eusa_clap

 

[Oldsarge]

Does!

Nice, I love patch pockets on tweed sportcoats.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Ginger tweed herringbone w/ patch pockets.

Working cuff buttons is a nice touch on this [probably] late 30s sportscoat. It has a centre vent in the back, one of the few 30s jackets I have with a vent. Lovely rust herringbone fabric & 3 patch pockets on the front. The jacket was made by Drapeshire Clothes. "Styled for Al Stein, Baltimore". It has the original owner's name "Berger" hand written on that white tag you can see near the centre seam on the inside.

Lovely caramel coloured buttons.

Two very lovely sports coats on this page.

Frank Lloyd Wright's is eerily similar to a suit worn by Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" -- right down to the type of tweed and the shape of the lapels:

Are those double-breast-pockets on Jimmy Stewart's? Pretty cool.
