This is GORGEOUS! I'm loathe to part with this, but I have to admit that it just doesn't fit me properly--if it did, of it it could be tailored to fit, there's no way that it would be here.
The patterning and colouring are terrific--I'll let the pictures here speak for themselves! WHat yoiu can't tell from the pictures is that the cloth is wonderful--wool, but with a gorgeously soft hand and texture, that's almost flannel-like. This is a very luxurious jacket indeed! This is cut as a 3/2 sack (the classic Ivy League American cut, with the lapel cut so that the third top button "rolls" so the jacket buttons as a two button jacket; the "sack" cut indicates it has no darting), with a lovely liquid lapel roll. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, with a single centre vent. The shoulders are wonderfluly natural. And the buttons are FANTASTIC--my pictures don't do them justice at all. Creamy and smooth, they appear to be horn, but are actually more likely to be very fine Bakelite--and they feature a bas-relief of a standing hunting dog!
This really is a beautiful jacket, and I'm sorry to let it go....
Asking just $50, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries also welcome!
Measurements:
Chest: 20 5/8
