1) J. Press Summer Summer 3/2 sack

This is absolutely beautiful! Cut as a classic 3/2 sack, the patterning and colourway on this jacket are wonderful. The patterning is a summer version of a guncheck, with a classic cream base with a background check of beige; the overchecking is in the light blue of a morning sky in Scotland, moss green, maize yellow, and sepia tea rose pink.

The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, with three button cuffs and a single centre vent. It was Made in the USA. There is no fabric content listed, but I suspect that it is a linen or cotton blend, with wool..... I suspect this as it does have some very minor surface pilling in places, which indicates some cotton content. The jacket also has some minor water stains in the back shoulder area of the lining. Owing to these minor flaws--and they are minor!--this is just in Very Good condition, and hence is

just $45, or offer. This is truly a steal!

Measurements:

Chest: 24 1/2
Sleeve: 27 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 19 7/
Length: 32 1/2










2) GORGEOUS J. Press "Presstige" Summer 3/2 sack, cloth by Magee of Ireland!

SOLD

(Claimed through my Facebook page, WaterhollowTweed--which is where many items are previewed!)

This is quite certainly someone's Grail jacket! First, the fabric. Loomed in Co. Donegal, Ireland, by Magee, the premier Irish clothiers, this is almost certainly Irish linen, possibly blended with lightweight wool to prevent rumpling while maintaining coolness. The patterning and colourway of this jacket are simply gorgeous; a classic herringbone in light Spring green with a windowpane overcheck in cornflower and sky blue. This jacket is absolutely beautiful!

It is from J. Press' "Presstige" line, and is cut as a classic 3/2 sack. It is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has a single centre vent and three button cuffs. It was Made in the USA and is in absolutely excellent condition.

Asking just $69, or offer.

4) BEAUTIFUL Orvis 3/2 Jacket in Slubby Ivory Silk--with Patch Pockets!

This is beautiful! Cut with a classic American Ivy 3/2 lapel roll this jacket has very subtle darting giving it a trim and elegant silhouette. The cloth is a wonderful slubby silk in ivory, with plenty of interesting texture. The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features the always desirable patch pockets. It has three button cuffs, and a single centre vent. It does have a couple of minor blemishes just below the top button and to its right; one of these is concealed when worn by the lapel roll, while the other is barely noticeable--and in any case might come out with dry cleaning. Thee is also a barely noticeable blemish of the same sort on the right cuff. Given these, this jacket is in Very Good condition, and so is a steal at just

$35, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 21 3/8
Sleeve: 26 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 3/4

5) BEAUTIFUL Norman Hilton Linen 3/2 sack jacket

This is a wonderful summer classic--a light navy 3/2 sack blazer in linen from Norman Hilton! And this is no ordinary light navy blazer, but one cut from light navy herringbone cloth, providing a classic twist on a summer classic. Cut as a 3/2 sack, this lovely jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined. It has a single centre vent, and a centre lapped seam down the back. It has very natural shoulders, and four button cuffs. The buttons are the perfect shade of blonde to complement the jacket, and all are likely horn. This jacket was made in the USA for one of the last remaining Ivy Style retailers in Princeton from the Golden Age. It's in Very Good/Excellent condition.... all that prevents it from being in excellent condition is some minor sag at the lip of the interior pockets--something common to linen jackets and nothing that detracts from this garment when worn.

Asking just $45, or offer.

Tagged 42R, this measures:

Chest: 21 3/4
Sleeve: 23 1/2 (+2 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/4
Length: 31








6) VINTAGE Wash-and-Wear 3/2 Glen Plaid Sack

This is terrific! A classic 3/2 sack straight from the Golden Age of Ivy Style; although the lower half of the Union tag is obscured this likely dates form between 1962 and 1968--although it is possibly older than this, this is unlikely, since this is cut Wash and Wear fabric.

As a classic 1960s jacket this has all of the details you want; a 3/2 sack with narrow lapels, two button cuffs, a centre lapped seam and a hook vent, and a half-lining. The patterning and colourway are classic late 1950s/early 1960s, being dull earthtones in a classic glen plaid.

This is in Very Good/Excellent condition--conservatively, since I'm always conservative with grading vintage clothing! It's also a rarer smaller size, and so is a steal at

just $29, or offer.

Measurements:

Chest: 19 1/4
Sleeve: 23 (+2 1/4)
Shoulder: 17
Length: 28 1/2








7) WONDERFUL Vintage Summer Plaid Jacket!

Who made this jacket? I've no idea... but it's clearly from the 1960s, judging by the lining and the subdued yet bold classic guncheck plaid! This is the perfect jacket to carry you through the late summer and into Fall; although there is no fabric content listed this is either lightweight wool, or, more likely, a wool-cotton blend, judging by the texture. It's certainly lighter weight and so perfect for warmer days.

The colorway and patterning are lovely, being checked in shades of burnished chestnut, dark peat, and autumnal bracken. It's also a rare two button sack jacket, with a centre vent and two button cuffs. It is half-canvassed and half-lined, and in Very Good/Excellent condition.

Asking just $29, or offer, for this little gem!
