WTB: Black double breasted suit jacket

[Nick D]

I'm in the process of putting together a stroller, and I'd like a double breasted jacket for it. I'm looking for a black 6x2, no vents, 40 chest and ~24" sleeves. Vintage is preferred, but modern would be fine until I find a vintage one.

Cheers,
Nick

no vents

Closing vents shouldn't be a problem for someone with your tailoring skills.

As a matter of fact, I've done it to a db before. It isn't really difficult, except for the lining which requires some creative sewing, but I've got a lot of projects on the board right now (for instance, spongebag trousers for the stroller and a db waistcoat) and it's easier if the jacket has no vents already.

when you say 40 chest, do you mean it should measure 40" or that it should fit a 40". I might have just the thing for you - 1930s, British, and looking for a good home - but it depends on size - I know it's too big for me but that's not saying much (!). Please post or send me all the measurements you need.

Unfortunately, the Baron's jacket isn't quite the right size for me. Giving this a bump as I'm still looking for a black db jacket with the above specs. To clarify, the 40" chest is my chest measurement and jacket size, not the true circumference of the jacket's chest.
