Hello all!

I am needing to downsize and I wanted to keep all the items that fit me well enough without tailoring and sell the rest to someone who would appreciate them. For any combo, take 20% off the total. All sizing in inches. OAL (overall length does include the collar)

I have many other pieces to add to this, but this will get the party rolling.


1. 1930s(?) Belt-back light/mid weight jacket, black

From what I hear, the black ones are pretty rare. This one was made for Jas T Mullin & Sons. No date or Union tag, but obviously period and a pretty nice piece. It has two main issues. The two buttons on one sleeve are both broken and there are two moth holes on the front of the jacket, about 4 inches above the right pocket. The holes are slightly un-obtrusive but worth mentioning.

While the back details of the jacket look like they have seen some aggravated ironing, it is more subtle in person and does not detract from the jacket.

Sizing-

Chest: 20.5
Shoulders: 18.5
Sleeve length: 25 (+1.5 of extra)
OAL: 33.5

2. 1936-1938 Overcoat, mens, black, LG

This is a very nice period overcoat, with a 1936 Union tag. Not much else to say, in good shape, minus the armpit lining in one area. I know it is coming up on summer, but this is going to be a fantastic wear once the weather turns again. Peak lapels, no belt. Highlighted areas look slightly worn in the pictures, but are non-worn.

Sizing-

Chest: 23
Shoulders: 18.5
Sleeve length: 26.5
OAL: 46.5

****SPF****4. 1950s Surf Green/Teal 2-piece notch lapel suit

This is a killer 1950s suit. I thought I would wear it more, but I just haven't so someone else should appreciate this gem. Made by Hyde Park Clothes, with a 1949 Union tag, it is a beautiful suit, in great condition. No moth holes from what I can tell. I did notice a slight stain on the inside of one of the pant legs, but have not tried to clean the stain. Just a really cool, classy 1950s suit!

Sizing -

Chest - 19.5
Shoulders - 18.5
Sleeves - 24.25 (+1.5 extra material)
OAL - 31.5

Pants -

Waist - 15 (+4.5 additional material)
Inseam - 29
Cuffs - 9.5
OAL - 40.5 (+1.5 extra material under cuffs)

I bought the 1950s Surf Green/Teal 2-piece notch lapel suit (#4) and the solid blue trousers (#12) a few days ago but haven't been invoiced yet. Just so you know that these items are gone.
