1) SUMMER CLASSIC--A SEERSUCKER JACKET!
Perfect for summer, a seersucker jacket should be a staple in every tradly American wardrobe--and this one's a beauty!
Made for A.H. Mathews, of Lambertville, New Jersey--a sleepy old-money small town on the banks of the Delaware, packed with art galleries and antique stores--this beautiful jacket is cut as a contemporary two-button jacket with subtle darts. The seersucker fabric is a classic light blue and cream, and the jacket features two flapped patch pockets, perfect for the slightly informal fabric. It appears to be half-canvassed, and features a single centre vent and three button cuffs. It's in absolutely excellent condition-indeed, the inspector's label is still basted into one of the pockets! This jacket appears to have been bought yesterday.... although since A.F. Mathews closed in 2000 that would be impossible, absent a time machine and some suspect metaphysical claims about the nature of time! It was, of course, Union Made in the USA, and is ready to give you years of excellent service throughout many summers to come!
Asking just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA! Please PM with interest and offers.

2) Smith's of Bermuda Summer Jacket, likely linen and silk!
Founded in 1962, Smith's of Bermuda was most definitely a British company, catering primarily to British and American tourists, as well as the local ex-pat population. With its headquarters in Hertfordshire, UK, it specialized in traditional British and Empire clothing and accessories, like its main rival, Trimingham's.
Now long gone, having closed its doors in 2002, Smith's name lives on... as an upscale woman's store in Maclean, Va., which has precisely nothing to do with the original British-owned Smith's, and which is no doubt capitalizing on memories of its illustrious predecessor.
This jacket is from the *correct* Smith's! Cut as a contemporary two-button front jacket with subtle darts, this is a lovely cream summer jacket cut from cloth that's almost certainly a silk-linen blend. It features two lower patch pockets, three button cuffs, and no vent, in Flusser-approved style. It is fully canvassed and fully lined, and, unusualy for Smith's, is USA Made in the USA.
It is in absolutely excellent condition, and a steal at just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA!
Measurements:
Chest: 21 1/2
Sleeve: 23 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 20 1/8
