TWENTY FIVE TWEEDS!!​

I have a slew of absolutely beautiful tweeds to pass on today, including beauties from Normal Hilton, a bespoke hacking jacket from the tailor to Bill Clinton and George Bush, classic 3/2 sacks from Brooks Brothers, a Turnbull & Asser in cashmere and wool, 3/2 sacks from The English Shop of Princeton, a vintage English shooting tweed, and more!


As always, I offer FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING WITHIN THE USA; International inquiries are very welcome, with shipping at cost!

Also as always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!

Please PM with interest and offers!

1) GORGEOUS Normal Hilton herringbone tweed. Patch pockets, throat latch!

This is absolutely wonderful! Made by Norman Hilton--the only Ivy clothier of the Golden Age still in existence--to incredibly exacting standards, this was retailed by Miller White, the upscale Philadelphia haberdasher.

This jacket is absolutely beautiful. The tweed is a classic broad brown herringbone, with flecks throughout of berry red, gorse yellow, cream, and pumpkin orange---this is far, far more beautiful in person than my pictures show. The cloth is also classically heavier tweed, perfect for outdoor use. The construction and cut of the jacket do full justice to the cloth. This is a contemporary two button model, with subtle darts. The buttons are all the classic leather-shanked football buttons that are perfect with tweed; this jacket features three on each cuff. The jacket is fully canvassed and half lined. It features two patch pockets, and has lapped seams around the pockets, and along the seams and center back. It also features a fully functional throat latch which is housed on the interior of the jacket, rather than at the throat itself--a design feature that allows for a sleeker silhouette when the latch is not in use. It has a single center vent.

This jacket was, of course, Made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition.

New, this jacket would have close close to four figures--and would have been well worth it! As such, it's a bargain at just $75, or offer--this is a steal for a jacket of this quality that is guaranteed to give you decades of use!

2) CLASSIC Brooks Brothers Vintage "346" 3/2 sack--with Patch Pockets and Shotshell Buttons![/B]

This is marvellous--the set of vintage shotshell buttons alone are worth what I'm asking for this jacket! Made by Brooks Brothers for their vintage '346" line (NOT the same as its modern incaranation--the "346" jackets used to be excellent and utterly Ivy!) this is a classic 3/2 sack cut from classic brown herringbone tweed, This is half-canvassed, and half-lined, and features the always desirable patch pockets. here with lapped seams. It has a single center vent and a lovely fluid lapel roll. It was, of course, Made in the USA.

This jacket also features after-market shotshell buttons--and these are REAL shotshell buttons, not merely buttons that are made to look like shotshell. (Orvis, I'm looking at you here.) The front buttons are made from Remington Peters 20 GA shot; the cuff buttons are made from what appears to be small gauge 410 shot. Shotshell buttons are rarely seen now, but they used to be a clear indicator that their wearer shot--and, as such, they were extremely popular among the country-orientated Ivy set back in the 1940s through the early 1960s. (Shotshell belts were also popular, and are similarly rarely seen.)

It was, of course, Union Made in the USA.

This jacket is in Very Good/Excellent condition. The label is off on one side, but that will be repaired before shipping. There are no other issues--I'm just conservative in rating vintage jackets!

This is just $49, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 25 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18
Length: 31










3) Ralph Lauren Polo Blue Label Hacking Jacket. Made by Corneliani.

This is absolutely gorgeous! NOT to be confused with Ralph Lauren's regular "Polo" line (and certainly NOT to be confused with the diffusion lines like "Lauren"!) this jacket was made for Ralph Lauren's close to teh top of the line Polo Blue Label, second only to the Purple Label in quality.

This wonderful jacket was Made in Italy by Corneliani, and has all of the quality and attention to detail that you would expect in a Corneliani jacket. The cloth is a blend of 52% silk and 48% wool, giving it a lovely hand and drape. The cloth is a lovely loosely-woven barleycorn tweed in black and white--a pattern and color combination that's utterly traditional but now rarely seen. The jacket is cut as a traditional English hacking jacket with a twist--while it is darted it has a 3/2 lapel roll! It also features twin vents, slanted hacking pockets, and a fully functional ticket pocket. It is fully lined, and has four button cuffs. It also features a fully functional throat latch!

This was, of course, Made in Italy, and it's in excellent condition. Asking just $49, or offer.

4) BEAUTIFUL Classic Herringbone Tweed from Donald Brooks.

This is wonderful--an absolutely beautiful classic herringbone tweed from one of the preeminent AMerican fashion houses!

Donald Brooks was an American fashion designer who was prominent in the 1970s ad 1980s. He specialized in designing clothes for Broadway and Hollywood, and was nominated for an Academy Award three times for his work on the films Star! Darling Lili, and The Cardinal. His women's clothing reflected the flamboyance of the screen and stage, but his menswear was utterly classic, being influenced by the Golden Age of classic movies, as well as the Anglophilia of Ralph Lauren.

This jacket is a clear example of Brooks' work; it could easily pass for a Hilton or for a more traditional Ralph Lauren piece. Cut from a classic heavier brown herringbone tweed that's flecked with berry red, golden wheat yellow, sky blue, and chestnut, this is a classic two button front model with subtle darts. It is fully canvassed and fully lined, and was Made in the USA. The buttons are all leather-covered and metal-shanked football buttons. This has a single center vent, and is in absolutely excellent condition.

Asking just $45, or offer.

Measurements:


Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 (+2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 30 1/4








5) MADE IN IRELAND--Blarney Woollen Mills Glen Plaid Tweed

This is a lovely jacket! Made in Ireland by Blarney Woollen Mills--the people mainly famous for their Aran sweaters and scarves--this lovely jacket is a classic muted glen plaid, with the base being dark greys and peats, and the accent lines being Royal Blue, Moss Green, and chestnut. This jacket has a lot of attention to detail--the stitching on the faux buttonholes is dark green, appropriately enough for an Irish jacket, and the buttons have a subtle green hue!

This is cut as a classic contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts and a single centre vent. It's in excellent condition, and a bargain at just $39, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 21
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 30






6) WONDERFUL BESPOKE HACKING JACKET BY BILL CLINTON AND GEORGE BUSH'S TAILOR!

This is absolutely wonderful, and has a terrific provenance! Kwan's Tailor was operated by Edward Kwan, who worked as the master tailor at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore until his retirement aged 85; he is still working, but only by appointment. Kwan's Tailors made suits for both Bill Clinton and George Bush, as well as for Yusok Ishak, the first President of Singapore.

As you'd expect, the tailoring on this jacket is wonderful. It is cut as a traditional English hacking jacket, with slanted hacking pockets (including a functional ticket pocket) and twin vents. It is subtly darted, half-canvassed, and fully lined. The tweed is a heavier weight--ideal for horse riding, which was the original purpose of the hacking jacket--and has a wonderful pattern a colourway: A classic autumnal Glen Plaid with a beautiful chestnut overcheck.

This jacket could use a dry clean to freshen it up, and there is a tiny bit of loose stitching in the right-hand seam at the top of the vent--such as two or three stitches worth--and so this is in Very Good/Excellent condition.

As such, it's a steal at just $45, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 20
Sleeve: 24 (+2 1/2)
Shoulder: 17 1/4
Length: 30 1/8

This beautiful jacket is in absolutely excellent condition; the top breast pocket is still uncut, as it the lower buttonhole on each cuff. The quality of jacket is absolutely superb, as befits its Turnbull and Asser origins, and so this is an absolutely steal at just $85, or offer.

10) VINTAGE 3/2 sack in Glen Plaid from Lit Brothers of Philadelphia. RARE SMALLER SIZE!


Lit Brothers of Philadelphia opened in 1891, and was one of the main department stores in the city until it closed in 1977.

12) GORGEOUS Harris Tweed jacket!

This is absolutely gorgeous--my pictures do NOT do this beautiful jacket justice at all! The tweed is a classic charcoal herringbone with a VERY subtle overcheck in russet and Royal Blue--this can be seen clearly in direct sunlight, and is wonderful, but my pictures just don't capture it at all. The jacket itself is a contemporary cut, with a three button front and darts--it was sold by the German retailer Carl Gross. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has four button cuffs. It is unvented, in Flusser approved style.

This is in absolutely excellent condition, and is a true beauty of a tweed; as such it's a steal at just $45, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 23 3/4
Sleeve: 25 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 20
Length: 30 3/4










13) CLASSIC HEAVYWEIGHT BRITISH COUNTRY TWEED!

This is a CLASSIC heavyweight British country tweed, the sort of jacket that you could abuse for decades and it would just keep coming back for more! This is TWEED; thick, heavy, and designed to shrug off the worst of Britain's changeable weather, ignore the snags and snares of briars, the claws of puppies, and the rigors of travel by Series III Land Rover. You could easily birth a sheep in this jacket at 3am on the moors, walk 15 miles after lunch in then pouring rain, or wrap it around a sick puppy by the fireside.

This is a serious piece of British clothing.

This was originally sold by Frimble's of Ripon, Yorkshire--a store that used to cater to the rural folk of Yorkshire who demanded clothing that looked good and worked well in all sorts of weather. Frimble's was bouyght in 2012 by a young woman who on her gap year to South America after leaving her exclusive private school decided she wanted to go into the clothing business.... and bought Frimble's. Frimble's no longer sells serious tweed, but if you want a "Furry Purry" (whatever the hell that is) Frimble's now has them.

Such is life.

Luckily, this tweed is available, and is beautiful. A classic light moss green base colour--a slightly darker shade than was used on BSA Bantam motorcycles after the War--with overchecking in forest green and bark brown, this is cut as a classic British tweed, with a three button front and four button cuffs, and a rear twin vent. It is half-canvassed--not that it needsthis--and fully lined. It doesn't state this, but since no other country makes tweeds like this it was Made in the UK.

This jacket does have some minor issues. One of the front buttons has been replaced sympathetically, and there's a small ink stain under the flap of one of the pockets, likely a leak from a pen used to record sales at a livestock market. The jacket has also been hung in a stuffed closet, and has acquired the tell-tale mis-pressing of the front. This is a very easy fix, as this will be readily pressed back into shape with its first dry-clean.

This is a truly wonderful, classic piece of kit, and a steal at just $45, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 22 1/2
Sleeve: 26 (+2)
Shoulder: 20 1/4
Length: 30










14) Brooks Brothers recent 3/2 sack tweed with Patch Pockets!


This is a wonderful classic tweed jacket! Cut as a 3/2 sack with a lovely lapel roll, this is a classic grey herringbone tweed jacket--if you don't have one of thes ein your wardrobe, and this is your size, you should grab it! It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a single center vent. It also features the ever-desirable patch pockets. This was Union made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition.

This is a steal at just $45, or offer.

This is a beautiful, and in absolutely excellent condition! Cut from lambswool, this jacket has a wonderfully soft hand and a beautiful drape.

18) BEAUTIFUL and RARE Plaid Harris Tweed Jacket in superb condition!


This is absolutely wonderful--and extremely rare! Muted plaid Harris Tweeds are extremely rare, and this is an absolutely wonderful example. being a beautiful medley of autumnal earth tones, in chestnut, conker, bracken, and slate. My pictures really do NOT do this gorgeous tweed justice at all!

This jacket is a contemporary two-button model with a single centre vent and a full lining. It is in absolutely superb condition; I believe that it has never been worn, as the basting thread in the front pockets is still present, although it has been cut for use. This jacket was made by Jos. A. Banks--although you'd never be able to tell this from its beauty!

19) GORGEOUS Custom Made Normal Hilton 3/2 sack--with working surgeon's cuffs!

Made in November 2014 for Dr. Tim Hosea, the US National Rowing Team physician.

This is a simply GORGEOUS tweed jacket!

Made in November 2014 for Dr. Tim Hosea, the US National Rowing team physician and Harvard graduate, this jacket is practically new, for Dr. Hosea wore it very, very sparingly before it came to me.

It bears repeating that this is a simply gorgeous jacket. Custom Made by Normal Hilton in Princeton, this is cut as a 3/2 jacket with a beautifully fluid lapel roll. It is not, however, a sack, as it subtly darted--a wise move given that the heft of the tweed would make a sack very shapeless. (This is no lightweight jacket, but a medium-heavy tweed; tweed as it should be!) As this is a custom-made jacket it is absolutely beautifully made; it is fully canvassed, and fully lined in a gorgeous wine-red lining that's a perfect complement to the tweed. It also features surgeon's cuffs that are fully functional for all four of the cuff buttons. ALl of the buttons on the jacket are blonde horn.

The tweed does full justice to the craftsmanship that went into this jacket. It is absolutely wonderful; a dark brown and dark slate herringbone, with mossy overtones, and, best of all, perhaps the most subtle windowpane overchecking I've seen, in autumnal bracken, that almost but not quite blends into the herringbone base. This was fiendishly difficult to photograph, and so my pictures DO NOT DO THIS TWEED JUSTICE AT ALL! Please DO pay attention to the close-ups of the tweed, where the bracken overcheck can just be seen!

This jacket is in absolutely superb condition, and cost well into the four figures when new. As such, this is an absolute bargain at just $95, or offer.

Chest: 23

21) WONDERFUL vintage Harris Tweed from diTorio's of Pennington, NJ.

Pennington, NJ, found fame in Frederick Forsyth's novel, *Avenger*, where it was accurately described as a classic Revolutionary War small town, inhabited mainly by old-money families who preferred its quiet to the bustle of nearby Princeton. DiTorio's used to be THE classic old-money clothier of Pennington, specializing, like Langrock, in the Waspy Anglophile Ivy look. Like Langrock, DiTorio's is long gone, but some of its wares occasionally surface from the cedar closets that they have been carefully stored in--and this Harris Tweed jacket is a lovely case in point!

Cut from a wonderuflly complex and rare Harris, the cloth of this jacket is not merely the lovely and classic broken bone herringbone that Harris is well known for, but broken bone with a twist--some of the vertical bands of birdseye that make up the broken bone bands that alternate with the herringbone proper are woven in a lovely blue-slate that complements the grey of the herringbone. This also features the classic Harris vertical striping, here in subtle English mustard--this is a truly lovely tweed! This is also "Ultra" Harris tweed--which I believe was, at the time, slightly lighter-weight and softer Harris that the hairy and heavy Harris that was the standard of the time.

The jacket itself is a contemporary two button model, with three button cuffs and subtle darting. It is half-canvassed, half-lined, and features a single center vent. This has the old-school Harris tweed Orb label, and was, of course, Made in the USA.

This is in excellent condition--the breast pocket is still basted shut!

Given its provenance, condition, and quality this is a steal at just $45, or offer.

Chest: 20 1/2

22) SPECTACULAR and RARE Harris Tweed!

This is a wonderful jacket, and if it was just a bit smaller there's no way that it would be here, as I love the more unusual yet classic Harris patterns. Cut from a lovely traditional weight Harris Tweed, the patterning and colourway of this jacket are both wonderful. The base is a traditional and classic cream, slate grey, and peat black houndstooth; this is overlaid with windowpane overchecking in russet, the colour of bracken in late autumn. This really is a beautiful jacket!

It's a contemporary two button model, with subtle darts. It has three button cuffs. All of the buttons are traditional the traditional metal-shanked, leather-covered buttons that go so well with Harris--here, they're a lovely shade of rich chestnut that complements the overchecking perfectly. The jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and has a single centre vent. It was Union Made in the USA--and is in absolutely excellent condition!

It is subtly darted, and has a two button closure, four button cuffs, and a center vent. It is fully canvassed and fully lined. It is in absolutely excellent condition.
