All prices include shipping in the USA, and International inquiries are very welcome, with shipping at reduced cost.

As always, ALL OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME!
​

1) USA-made Classic Nantucket Reds. Inspired by canvas trousers worn in the coastal villages of Brittany, Reds were initially marketed in the USA by Murray's Toggery Shop in Nantucket, and were designed to be worn in place of khakis... as well as to fade to a dusty rose over time and sun exposure. These Reds appear to be Murray's, although they lack the maker's label. They were, however, Made in the USA, and have all of the characteristics of the Murray's originals. Very Good/Excellent condition--they're fading nicely! Tagged 32/30. Waist: 16, Inseam: 29 1/2 (+ 1 1/2). Asking just $25.






2) More Reds! This time, from J. Crew. Imported--just as the catalogues say! Excellent condition. Tagged 36/34. Waist: 18, Inseam: 32 1/2. Asking just $19.





3) VINTAGE Brooks Brothers seersucker, in a cream and tan stripe. These are wonderful--they have the lovely crinkly texture of genuine Indian seersucker. They're flat-front and cuffed, and were made for Brooks Brothers' old "Brooksgate" line. They're in Good/Very Good condition, having slightly faded through the decades--this fading won't be seen when they're wordn, as it's only apparent when you compare the trouser legs to the waistband, which, being covered by a belt, didn't fade from sunlight. Just $18! Waist: 18 1/4; Inseam: 29 1/4, with an additional 1 3/4 cuff and (+1) extra material.





4) UTTERLY IVY! Cotton summer trousers in official Princeton Orange. Flat front and uncuffed, and in excellent condition. Waist: 19 1/2, inseam: 27. Asking just $18.





5) Linen/Wool Trousers in Natural Linen color by Grant Thomas. 55% linen, 45% wool. Pleated front, cuffed. Excellent condition. Size 36R. Waist: 18 1/2, Inseam: 29, with 1 1/2 cuff. Asking just $20.

6) Pincord trousers. Along with seersucker and madras, pincord is one of the classic Ivy summer clothes. These are flat-front and uncuffed. They have a minor mark about 8" from the cuff on one leg; this will likely come out with dry cleaning. Good/Very Good condition because of this. Waist: 20 1/2 Inseam 28 (+1). Asking just $16.





7) J. Peterman seersucker-style pants. These lack the crinkly fabric of true seersucker--but they were produced for the J. Peterman Co.. J. Peterman was started in 1987 by John Peterman, who had once played baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The brand was intended to take the place of Banana Republic, which had just been purchased by The Gap and which Peterman (correctly) foresaw would soon lose its way. To this end Peterman specialized in offering well-made clothing that reproduced iconic items of clothing, items that had romantic associations, or items that had appeared in popular films, all of which were advertised with background stories and the occasional hyperbole about their likelihood to make the wearer more attractive and successful.

This marketing approach was successful, but led to the company being mocked on the TV show Seinfeld, with Elaine's boss being the "world traveler and bon vivant" J. Peterman. As a trivial aside, the actor who played J. Peterman on Seinfeld was hired by the company to play an investor in its TV commercials, and became a member of their Board of Directors.

Excellent condition. Waist: 20 1/2; Inseam: 28 (+1) Asking just $19.





8) Brooks Brothers "Brooksease" tropical wool trousers. Made in the USA. Lightweight. These have a cluster of small mark on the front thigh, which might or might not come out with dry cleaning--hence these are FREE with another purchase! Waist: 17 1/2; Inseam: 27 1/2, with 1 1/2 cuff.





9) VINTAGE Kelly Green shorts, from the "Sing or Swim" store of FL and NJ... from a LONG time ago when the Shore was acceptable to trads! Waist: 17 1/2. A couple of very tiny, tiny speckles at the hem, otherwise excellent. Just $16.
