Frank Sinatra's vintage suit jacket

Found this several weeks ago at a Goodwill thrift store near Hollywood Blvd. Goodwill didn't know what it had!

It's a vintage smooth-finished tan wool gabardine suit jacket custom made for FRANK SINATRA in 1966 by Carroll & Co., the exclusive Beverly Hills haberdashery (located at that time on Rodeo Drive). Measures to be a size 40 Short. Fully lined; the lining has a paisley print.

I’ve included a black & white image of Mr. Sinatra wearing a darker version of this jacket while singing at a late ‘60s concert.

The quality of tailoring is excellent. All buttonholes are handsewn, and the sleeves have working buttonholes (or “surgeon’s cuffs”).

50's sport coats

Wholly in keeping with my tendency to snatch mainly 50's stuff I just won two nice German sport coats from the 1950's (presumably). And pretty cheap they came, too. Note the action back/bi-swing detail.
