VINTAGE 1960s 3/2 SACK JACKET IN HARRIS TWEED!
Tagged 40L. Measurements:
Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 31
This is wonderful!
Given how popular Harris Tweed is in Ivy Style, and given the centrality of the 3/2 sack jacket in Ivy Style, it is surprising how rare a 3/2 sack jacket cut from Harris Tweed is.
Carrying a rare "Orb" label with the designation "Ultra" Harris Tweed this jacket likely dates from the 1960s. The Harris Tweed itself is wonderful-- a broken-bone herringbone weave with a thin blue vertical stripe running throughout.
The jacket is cut as a classic 3/2 sack with a high lapel roll. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a single center vent. The cuffs have three buttons.
It was originally made in the USA by Hampton Clothes for Ann Arbor Clothing.
It is in absolutely excellent condition!
Asking just $65, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
