1) NOS Orvis Safari Travel Fabric Half-Belt Jacket. c. 40R. FREE SHIPPING, OFFERS WELCOME!

This is absolutely wonderful! Cut from 100% cotton, this jacket is New Old Stock with its original tags attached, announcing it as being cut from Orvis' Safari Travel fabric.

This jacket is simply packet with features! Cut as a two button sack--appropriately, since a more form-fitting jacket would be inappropriate in the climates this is designed for--this features two deep flapped demi-bellows pockets on the front, a VERY deep passport/wallet pocket cut as a ticket pocket on the left-hand side, and a breast pocket.

(A demi-bellows pocket is affixed at the outer edge like a regular pocket, with additional bellows fabric at the edge nearer the placket. This provides the extra carrying ability of a bellows pocket while retaining the drape of the jacket when the pockets are full.)

It also features a corduroy collar in cream, wide-spaced cuff buttons indicating that this is a functional rather than a formal jacket. On the back it features a reinforced straight shoulder yoke for added durability, a beautifully stitched half-belt, and a bi-swing back for ease of movement. It also features a single center hook vent.

The interior is half-lined--and lined at the belt--and features a full complement of interior pockets, including a zippered security pocket. This jacket is half-canvassed. It is, of course, in perfect condition--as you'd expect from a new jacket!

Asking just $49 for this beautiful jacket, perfect for Summer!

The cousin to the beautiful small B.J. Keats Harris Tweed jacket that I have just posted, below, this is a classic 3/2 sack jacket with a wonderfully liquid lapel roll. The tweed fabric is wonderful--a classic dark brown barleycorn, with stripes in dark red, sky blue, and turqoise-green, flecked through with foest green, pumpkin orange, and cream.

The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features two-button cuffs and a single center vent. It has lovely natural shoulders. It was Union Made in the USA, and is in absolutely excellent condition.

Like its cousin, below, this is a lovely reminder of a by-way in American retail history.

6) MTM J. Press Navy Blazer with 3/2 lapel and Anglophile details!

Made originally for William Cowett, Harvard graduate and prominent NY investment banker, this lovely jacket is a blend of the best elements of classic American and British style.

Although this features a 3/2 lapel this jacket has subtle darts--it also features slanted hacking pockets and a fully functional ticket pocket. Fully canvassed and fully lined, this is cut from a substantial navy hopsack cloth. It features a single center vent, and three button cuffs--which are fully functional surgeons' cuffs. The buttons are all hollow brass, similar to Waterbury buttons. This jacket was made in 1996, and is in absolutely excellent condition.

It's a bargain at just $65, or offer.

7) CLASSIC 3/2 sack Navy Blazer by Brooks Brothers.

The 3/2 sack navy blazer should be a staple in every classic wardrobe, and this one's a beauty! From Brooks Brothers, this has two flapped patch pockets and a beautiful lapel roll. The buttons are lovely and unusual, being a lovely autumnal brown--the perfect complement to the classic navy--and stamped with Brooks Brothers' hanging sheep logo. The jacket is half-canvassed and half-lined, and features a single center vent. It was, of course, Made in the USA.

It has three very minor flaws; a small white mark by the lower right-hand pocket, a small hint of securing thread for teh top button (a usual flaw with 3/2 sacks), and a tiny little snag on the left hand cuff near the buttons--this really can't be seen at all, but it is there! Overall, then, this is in Very Good condition.

Asking just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 25 1/8 (+1 1/2)
