Freshly acquired from popular online auction site

I'm looking forward to sporting this fine number around town when it arrives:

I hope I didn't beat out any fellow FL members for it though!

Swell looking jacket. I like the taper on the waist.

 

[The Duke]

I had my eye on that nice looking jacket. Congratulations :eusa_clap

 

[Tomasso]

Very Nice!

Details? Maker, material, year, etc...........

 

[Benny Holiday]

I'll give you guys all the details once it arrives. I've snagged a jacket from this seller before, and it took about a week to ship out from the States. Jay, I dig the waist taper too. I like the tailored look in vintage jackets.

 

[Sly Style]

I too saw that jacket. Too small for me!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

You're in good company: Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby, Bugsy Siegel ...

Very nice! It reminds me of a jacket I bought from Perry Ellis.

I like the long 3 button line and the great lapels. Very nice! Houndstooth is one of my favorite patterns. Congratulations!

 

[PADDY]

Nice catch for 'The Fall.'

Great autumnal colours too, quite a catch you got yourself there. Wear it in good health!

 

[manton]

Very nice. For the best look (IMO), fasten the middle button only.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Very nice. For the best look (IMO), fasten the middle button only.

Yes! (I don't like seeing the top button fastened, and especially not the bottom. Looks too military for a very non-military jacket.)

Benny, What were the dimensions of that jacket? I know there was a good reason i didn't go for it but can't quite remember why. Nice one.

Thank you for your congratulations gentlemen. I apologise for not replying earlier, have been down with a cold this last 24 hours and am feeling a little the worse for wear.

Manton and Marc, I'm with you guys 100% on the buttoning of the jacket. Thank you for the advice, it reinforces that I'm on the right track to hear that I'm thinking along the same lines as you fine fellows.

Baron, the measurements were listed as a 40" chest, shoulder to shoulder 18", sleeve length 25", collar to hemline 31".
