13) GRAIL ITEM! 3/2 sack Jacket in Boating Stripe!


This is absolutely wonderful! Made by Gordon of Philadelphia--one of the stalwart makers of traditional American clothing--this is cut as a classic 3/2 sack. But what makes this jacket really special is the pattern and colourway of the cloth that it's cut from, which is the classic bold vertical stripes of a traditional Anglo-American boating jacket. This is very rarely seen nowadays--a great pity, as this style of jacket was one of the summer classic back in the heyday of Ivy Style.


The cloth is a lighter mid-weight wool; this jacket is also fully canvassed and half-lined. It has the traditional two button cuffs of a 3/2 sack, and a single center vent. It has very natural shoulders. It does have the start of some minor fraying at the cuffs, as shown--this has just started, though, and would be an easy fix for even a dry-cleaner tailor. It also has a small thread bump on the front--likely there since new--and a small rub at the leading edge of one of the interior pockets. Because of these min or issues, this wonderfully rare jacket is in Very Good condition, and so a bargain at

15) Classic Vintage Brooks Brothers "Wash and Wear" Jacket in Rare Pattern!

This jacket is absolutely lovely. Judging by the interior label (yellow block letters on a white background) this dates from the late 1980s--although you'd never guess this from its condition! Cut as a two button sack this is made from "Wash and Wear" fabric--the staple cloth of Ivy Style clothing in the 1960s. Usually, "Wash and Wear" jackets and suits were solid colours, and so this is highly unusual in that it features a beautiful multi-coloured overcheck (in red, yellow, green,and light blue) on light blazer-blue base.

This jacket features a single center vent, the classic American two button cuff, and a half-lining. Wonderfully lightweight, this is an absolutely perfect summer blazer, suitable for both casual settings and the modern office. It does have a couple of very minor scuffs, as shown, but these are hard to find and will hardly be seen when worn. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and is in Very Good/Excellent condition.

Asking just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquires are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost!

16) 3/2 Linen Jacket in a summery earth-toned gingham check

This is absolutely lovely! Cut from wonderfully lightweight linen in a summery earth-toned gingham check this jacket has a 3/2 lapel roll and subtle darts. It is quarter-lined, and features a single center vent. It has three button cuffs, and was Made in the USA. It's in absolutely excellent condition.

Although a fairly contemporary offering from Banana Republic this harkens back to their products of their early years, when their products were excellent and they were an outfitter in the tradition of the then -defunct old-school Abercrombie & Fitch!

Asking just $40, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost.

17) CLASSIC SEERSUCKER JACKET, from Haspel!

Joseph Haspel founded Haspel in New Orleans in 1909 with the express aim of creating clothing that could be worn comfortably in the sub-tropical humidity of the Deep South. Recognizing that the British used seersucker widely in their tropical colonies, he created seersucker suits and jackets. These were immediately successful, and were imported into the Ivy League look by way of Princeton, long the traditional Ivy for men from the South. (And long only *men* from the South... True to the conservatism of its student population Princeton , shockingly, didn't fully admit women until 1969.)

This is a lovely example of a contemporary Haspel seersucker jacket! Pure cotton, this is cut as a contemporary two-button jacket with subtle darts. It is quarter-lined, has a single center vent, and three button cuffs. It's in absolutely excellent condition, and is a steal at just $39, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost!

The cloth that this jacket is cut from is wonderful--a lovely summery blend of silk, linen, and wool in a beautiful soft blue. It's cut as a 3/2 sack, and has a lovely liquid lapel roll. It is half-canvassed and features a single center vent. It has three button cuffs, and features the rare and desirable patch pockets! It is in absolutely excellent condition.

This is a truly beautiful jacket, and a steal at just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced rate!

19) IVY GRAIL! Langrock of Princeton Cashmere 2-button sack.

Langrock of Princeton was THE Ivy Style store; together with Norman Hilton, Alan Frank, the owner of Langrock, is largely credited with popularizing "The Natural Shoulder Ivy League Look". (It is, alas, a myth that he refused to sell anything darted; I have had several examples of darted Langrock blazers available!) Indeed, so iconic is Langrock that even Langrock labels are collectible.

This is a beautiful example of Langrock's wares. Although there is no fabric content listed this is clearly cut from thick, rich cashmere that is soft and lightweight enough to be appropriate for cooler summer evenings. The cloth features a lovely blue miniature overcheck on a cream base-again, perfect for summer. The jacket is a two button sack that is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has three button cuffs and a single center vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA... in 1973, as this was a custom order!

It does have a few minor issues. There is a water stain in the lining, as shown, and a couple of very faint marks on the front of the jacket. These might come out with dry cleaning, but in any case they can hardly be seen. Given these flaws, though, this beautiful jacket is just in Good/Very Good condition (mainly because of the lining!), and so is an absolute bargain at just

$35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost.

Chest: 24
Sleeve: 28 1/4 (+2 1/2)

20) Saint Laurie Light Weight Jacket--tailored in New York City!

Saint Laurie tailors were founded in Brooklyn in 1913, and still make all of their clothing in New York City--as proudly noted on the hang-tag in all of their suits and jackets!

This is a beautiful example of their work. Featuring plenty of handwork, this is cut as a standard two button jacket with subtle darting. The fabric is a wonderful dove grey lighter-weight wool with broken vertical stripes in cream and blue, and overchecking in russet. It is fully canvassed and fully lined and features a single center vent. It was, of course, made--largely by hand--in New York City.

Saint Laurie's sports jackets start at around $1500, so this is an absolute bargain at just $45, ,or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA! International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost.

Measurements:

Chest: 20 1/2
Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+2)
Shoulder: 17 3/4
Length: 30 1/4
