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!
