where dod you FIND this??? it's beautiful!Hi, Acquired this jacket about a week ago, lovely tan colour as you cant see, tailored by Stein & Bloch for Hughes & Hatcher, who where based in Pittsburgh i believe.
Union tag is 1939 i think, so a i guess it would be 40s.....would that be late or early?
These are new pics.... i did 't like the first lot.

what do you search to find it? Even on ebay UK, searching "1940s sport coat mens" comes up with items that are most definitely NOT 1940s. I even try a generic "vintage tweed", and still, nothing older than the 60s. Teach me your ebay magic o, Wise One. (apparently, also, people know what they're selling true vintage is unattainable in price for me...and size.. but I keep hoping that somebody doesn't know what they have..keep on trying to search the right thing).That's Bud, found it hidden on ebay..... paid £25 quid for it!. No brainer!!
Condition is pristine, hardly been wore i think.
Such particular search words won't give you anything. Just type words like 1940s, Vtg 40s, 40s style, 40s (With this one you might get modern stuff in size 40short pop up) and go trough everything, it takes time.what do you search to find it?

How much did it cost you to get that custom made?Here's another recent jacket I had made by the same tailor. This time I've gained a few pounds so we had to let some material out
The issue with the button has been fixed, I've overlooked it by accident when picking it up
The back.
The pleats and pockets were pretty much the same as the previous jacket I've posted. Next jacket should be different back and pocket style.
Based off this jacket:
Close to 1k I think. He charges extra for all the extra details.How much did it cost you to get that custom made?
looks like I"M not going to be getting a custom sports coat any time soon. Not unless I want to not eat for three months! XDClose to 1k I think. He charges extra for all the extra details.
I like the pleated back HB3. Nice!Here's the fitting for a new jacket. Not complete yet but it's coming along.
