This tweed is really nice. There's no maker's tag, but it's a hearty, hefty brown broken-bone (alternating herringbone/birdseye) pattern wool tweed. Three patch pockets make it really unusual and interesting. Three buttons, rolled to the second. Based on the styling and the union tag, I'd put it somewhere in the early '50s. It's in good condition; there's one small moth hole at the back bottom hem next to the vent. It's not likely to be noticed and would be easy to fix if you felt like having it rewoven.

$40 OBO, including shipping in the CONUS. Will ship elsewhere, too.

Size is around 44-46R.
Chest, pit to pit: 24"
Shoulders: 21"
Length from bottom of collar: 32"
Sleeves: 25" with 2" to let down
