Very unusual 1941-dated Donegal tweed sportcoat

A strangely beautiful sportcoat. The button closure is unlike anything I've ever seen on a vintage sportcoat. Looks like a half-breed between a DB and SB jacket. And that fabric is the most amazing multicoloured Donegal I've seen in a long time. I'd definitely wear it! ;)

someone's tried moving the buttons to tighten the front. bad idea.

Moving the buttons to tighten a jacket doesn't seem to be all that unusual. Only not THAT far. That way it really looks like a DB without the second set of buttons... ;)

The best thing about that jacket is the fabric anyway. I've been looking for stuff made from similar kinds of fabric for ages.

I've been waiting 2 months for the seller to send me a leather jacket I purchased from him. He has great clothing, but is highly unreliable to deal with.

I bought a couple item's from him,
bad at communication doesnt answer questions,
careful A lot of his Sleeves are very short.
& yes its shipped from Australia,
But he sure does take his time to just get it to the PO.
But the items were nice that i recieved.
