3) PURE SILK Jacket from Old-School Burberry's....

Made for B. Altman of New York City!

Size c. 46

​

B. Altman's was one of THE great New York department stores. It was the first to move to Fifth Avenue, which at the time was primarily residential, designing its palatial four-story building to fit in with the surrounding mansions--it was directly opposite the mansion of the socialite Mrs. Astor (of the Astor family), and, unlike her mansion (which was demolished to make way for the Empire State Building) Altman's store still stands... although now as part of CUNY rather than as a store in its own right. (It closed in 1990). It was designated a New York City landmark in 1985.

In its day Altman's was one of the most exclusive department stores in the city--and this jacket shows that its upscale reputation was fully justified.

Cut from a wonderful slubby, almost-raw silk in an elegant black and white nailhead pattern with a subtle berry and Royal blue overcheck, this is a contemporary two-button jacket with subtle darts. half-canvassed and fully lined, this has a single center vent and was beautifully Union Made in the USA.

Dating from the period before Burberry became a more fashionable brand, this is wonderful old-school quality with a lovely American heritage.

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

Chest: 23 3/4

4) J. Crew Ludlow Jacket.

Size c. 38



Made from Crespi fabric, milled in Italy by a family firm founded in 1797!​

J. Crew's Ludlow jackets and suits have acquired something of a cult following among those who like a contemporary twist on 1960s style, and it's not hard to see why.

Cut from lovely cotton fabric sourced from Crespi of Italy--a family owned company that was founded in 1797, and is a member of Les Henokiens, a group of family-owned companies that are over 200 years old--this is cut as a contemporary two button jacket. It is darted, and features the signature narrow lapels of the Ludlow cut.

This jacket has lots of lovely details which have earned it its following. It has pick stitching on the lapels and lining, four button cuffs, and the pockets are edged in J. Crew's signature neats fabric in dark red and green. The sleeves are lined in Hickory stripe.

It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and is in excellent condition--it still has the tag attached that should be removed before wearing! It has a single vent.

Asking just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.....making this perhaps the best-priced Ludlow jacket available anyway today!

6) Classic English Summer Blazer!

From Scabal, of 12, Savile Row, London

c. 43




​

Founded in 1938, Scabal still produces its cloth at its traditional mill in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, the center of England's wool trade since the sixteenth century. Although Scabal's business is focused on cloth they opened a shop on Savile Row (at No. 12) in 1972.

Although they are in most respects an utterly traditional British clothier Scabal have always been ready to experiment--indeed, they are known as being one of the more eccentric denizens of the Row! They collaborated, for example, with Salvador Dali in 1971 to produce a series of 12 pictures of his surrealist vision of 21st Century clothing... which no doubt caused considerable anxiety in places like Huntsman and Norton when Scabal moved to the Row just a year later!

Scabal also has links to Hollywood; Vito Corleone's tuxedo in *The Godfather* was from Scabal, as were almost all of Robert De Niro's suits in *Casino*.

This jacket thus represents a rare opportunity to acquire a light summer blazer from one of the most illustrious British tailoring houses. The cloth of this jacket is, as you would expect, wonderful. Cut from a wonderfully lightweight Scabal Super 100s cloth with a beautifully soft hand (which Scabal attribute to the soft Yorkshire water used in their mill) this is wonderful light Navy blue. The jacket is fully canvassed and fully lined in Scabal's signature lining. Cut as a contemporary two-button blazer with darting, this has a twin vent--as you'd expect from a Savile Row jacket--and four button cuffs. It has pick stitching throughout.

It was, of course, Made in England.

This does have two small flaws. There is some minor staining to the lining, as shown; likely this is from a spill when the jacket was off and turned lining-out. There is also a very very small mark by the cuff; I only noticed this when doing close-up pictures, so it's very hard to see!

But, because of these marks this jacket is in Very Good condition, and so is a bargain at just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

Tagged EU 54; likely around a US 43.

Sleeve: 25 3/4 (+1 1/2)

8) VINTAGE Brooks Brothers "Brooks-Aire" 3/2 Summer Sack​

This classic "Brooks-aire" jacket is thus a perfect summer blazer, especially since it is cut from a fabric that's a lighter shade of Navy blue with a lovely subtle summer overcheck in wheat gold, sky blue, and berry red.

Cut as a classic Ivy 3/2 sack jacket this features flapped patch pockets, two button cuffs, and a single center vent. It is half-lined and has a single center vent.

9) GORGEOUS Summer Jacket by Corbin.

Size c. 38, 40

​

Corbin was founded in 1947 by Howard Corbin, who after serving as a bombardier in a B-25 during WWII enrolled in Columbia business school and, on graduating, founded Corbin.

During his college years Howard had worked in his family's trouser-making factory, and at the start Corbin specialized in trousers. They quickly branched out, and in the 1950s and 1960s were one of the primary firms associated with the "Ivy League Look". Indeed, so closely associated were Corbin with Ivy Style that they even had a range of trousers which were rather weirdly sold as "Natural Shoulder" trousers!

At its height Corbin employed over 1000 workers in their plants in West Virginia and Kentucky. Corbin filed for bankruptcy in 2003.

This lovely jacket shows just why Corbin were so beloved by the Ivy set. Although there is no fabric content listed this is cut from a wonderfully slubby wool-silk blend that's perfect for summer. A beautiful summer plaid closely resembling a Glen Plaid, this has a base of cream and primary checking in slate grey, with beautiful overchecking in sepia rose pink and seafoam blue. Originally sold by the up-scale New Jersey store MacHugh's (think Princeton as its clientele, not the Shore!), this is cut as a contemporary two button jacket with very subtle darts. It is half-canvassed and fully lined and has three button cuffs. It has, of course, very natural shoulders.

It was, of course, Union Made in the USA and is in excellent condition.

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

In accord with its Continental cut it has twin rear vents and four buttons cuffs. The fabric is a lovely mid-weight cotton, with 2% lycra for ease of movement.

Also, please "like" my Facebook page, WaterhollowTweed!
​

This jacket is absolutely BEAUTIFUL--my pictures don't do it justice at all!​

Made for Nick Hilton, the Princeton clothing store that is owned by the son of Norman Hilton, the man who was largely responsible for the Ivy Style of the Golden Age, this jacket is cut from a summer blend of wool, silk, and linen, which gives it a wonderful hand and drape. The patterning and colourway of the fabric do full justice to the summery quality of the cloth; the checking is a wonderful medley of sky blue, lavender, light black and bracken--a mixture that is so subtle that try as I might the horizontal lavender stripes kept showing as the same colour as the vertical blue stripes in my pictures!

The Summer colouring of the jacket is continued in the interior, with sky blue facings on the leading edges of the interior pockets.

The jacket is cut as Hilton's "Gibson" model--a contemporary two button jacket with subtle darts and dual center vent. It features pick stitching in the lining. It is half-canvassed and fully lined, and features four buttons cuffs. It was made in Canada, and is in is in absolutely excellent condition.

15) LOVELY Paul Stuart summer jacket​

​

Paul Stuart was founded in New York in 1938 by Ralph Oztrove, who named it after his son, Paul Stuart Ostrove. From the start Ralph Ostrove intended the company to specialize in classic haberdashery with uncompromising quality--and in this he most certainly succeeded!

This is a lovely example of Paul Stuart's recent wares. Cut from a beautifully lightweight woolen worsted in minature herringbone, this lovely jacket features a complementary windowpane overcheck in the greenish-brown of sapling bark, and a rich bracken russet.

The cloth is complemented by the classic Anglophilia cut of this jacket; it has a two button front, darting, a twin rear vent, and a fully functional ticket pocket. Naturally, this jacket comes complete with a rear interior strap at the back to endure that the rear vent flaps remain properly closed.

This jacket is fully canvassed, and fully lined. It has four button cuffs, and was Made in Canada.

Michael Duru is a third-generation tailor located in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, who specializes in MTM clothing featuring lots of handwork.

This jacket is a lovely example of his craft. Although there is no fabric content listed this is clearly a luxurious blend of silk and linen, in a wonderfully textured weave in summery baby blue. The jacket is cut as a standard two button model with darting. It features a LOT of handwork, with pick stitching on the lapels and placket, throughout the lining, and on the pocket flaps.

22) PURE CASHMERE Armani jacket.

Size c. 38



Made in Italy!​

Although founded in 1975 Armani's heyday was undoubtedly the decade that spanned the late 1980s to the early 1990s. In part, this was because the new prosperity of those years enabled people to afford Armani... and in part it was because of the success of films such as *The Untouchables* which featured gorgeous 1920's-inspired clothing designed by Armani, and intended (by Armani!) to showcase the beauty of his signature flowing silhouette. It didn't hurt that the 1920s-style overcoats that were the *real* stars of the show swirled dramatically when their wearers opened them rapidly to deploy the shotguns they'd concealed underneath!

This jacket was made quite a bit later than Armani's heyday... But with its high lapels, three-button front, and autumnal brown colouring it has more than a hint of Armani's vision of the Prohibition era. Cut from pure cashmere, this is wonderfully soft and luxurious, with a lovely hand and drape.
Made it Italy, this is half-canvassed and fully lined. It is unvented, in Flusser--approved style, and has jetted pockets at the front. It also features three button cuffs with kissing buttons.

It is in absolutely excellent condition; the two lower front pockets are still basted shut!

Size c. 40

​

This is absolutely wonderful--and comes with a perfect Ivy provenance, having first been sold by the Harvard Coop!​

Cut as a regular two button jacket with subtle darting, the cloth of this jacket is striking. Although there is no fabric content listed it is clearly pure slubby silk that's been woven in a classic Donegal tweed patterning and pepper-and-salt colourway. The jacket is half-canvassed and fully lined, and has a single center vent. It has four button cuffs, and all of the buttons are a lovely rich cream to complement the Donegal-esque fabric.

This jacket was Union Made in the USA. It is in excellent condition, except for two small flaws; it has some water staining to the lining, and one of the buttons on the right-hand sleeve is folded in half! This could be an easy fix--just convert the American cuffs to three button cuffs, rather than four, and you've solved this issue and acquired a spare button! (I can arrange for this minor alteration if you wish.)
