Vintage Princeton Clothing Co. "3/2 sack" summer sports jacket!

[tweedydon]

This is beautiful! Cut as a classic 3/2 sack (i.e., made with a three button front, but the lapel is cut so that the top button and button hold curl over, so onlythe lower two can be buttoned--the classic Ivy look) and dating from the Golden Age of Ivy Style, this wonderful jacket was made by The Princeton Clothing Co., one of the major Princton clothiers, along with Normal Hilton and Langrock--and, alas, one of those that is now long gone. There is no fabric content listed, but this is either summer-weight wool or else a wool-linen blend. The colouring is terrific--a rich, deep, chambray blue. It has two button cuffs, and the buttons are all metal, and decorated with a subtle basketweave on the tops. The jacket appears to be half-canvassed; it is half-lined, and has a single centre vent. It has very natural shoulders--and PATCH POCKETS! It was, of course, Union made in the USA. It's a vintage piece, and I'm very conservative with rating vintage pieces, so this is in Very Good/Excellent condition.

Asking just $40, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA! International inquries very welcome!
