First:
late 1940s-early 1950s sack style grey, blue & off-white tweed wool sport coat or jacket from Daeuber, Palm Beach. No tag but probably a 42 (I am a 44 and its a little too small for me)

$60 including shipping in the US.

It features a slightly wider notched collar with boutonniere hole, 3-button front (all buttonholes are handstitched), ventless sack style back, & 2 buttons at each wrist. Partially lined in a satiny grey fabric with one interior pocket. Sleeves are lined in cream fabric. Seams are finished with matching grey fabric.

Overall, the jacket is in good vintage condition, but had been stored in an estate for decades, so will need cleaning to freshen, & remove or lessen some scattered, mostly light-colored spots ( see close-up of wrist that has darker spots). The fold along the collar has some typical soil, along with what appears to be a small mend at its center by the hanging loop (shown). On inside sleeve lining near armhole, the original owner's name was written, then crossed out (shown).


MEASUREMENTS: Jacket is 31 & 1/2"L from mid-shoulder to bottom edge * Shoulders 19"W between sleeve seams & 20 & 1/2"W between outer edges of shoulder padding * Sleeve 24"L, with 17"L inseam * Upper Arm about 18" around * Inside armhole almost 20" around * Chest 46" around.

Second:
1940s-50s (not sure of date) double breasted sportcoat (probably an orphaned suit jacket). Medium blue color, made by Valubilt Clothes for "The Hub in Honolulu". No tag, but probably a 40, I am a 44 and I can get it over my shoulders, but cannot button it.

Its got many of the features we look for in a vintage DB, partially lined, high arm holes, buttonholes in both lapels, nice curve to the lapels, 6x4 buttons, wide button stance, slightly open peak lapels that are almost horizontal etc. In excellent shape, no stains or hole or moth bites I can see.

MEASUREMENTS: Jacket is 32" from bottom of collar to hem * Shoulders 18" * Sleeve 23.5" * underarm to underarm 21"
