STUNNING VINTAGE BLACK STEWART TARTAN JACKET FROM DUNN & CO. MADE IN BRITAIN! C. 39L



Includes BEAUTIFUL THISTLE BUTTONS!​

Tagged 100XL, which translates to 39L. Measurements:

Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 26 1/8 (+2 1/4)

Length: 32

Now that the holiday season is fast approaching, it's time to think about which tartan jacket you'll be wearing to parties--and it really doesn't get much nicer than this! Cut from beautiful woolen cloth in the authentic Scottish tartan of Black Stewart, this jacket is absolutely perfect for holiday events, not the least because Black Stewart is traditionally a more formal tartan, and one that is becoming increasingly hard to find.

This could be worn casually or formally, with tuxedo trousers, formal dress, shirt, and a bow.

This jacket was made in Great Britain by Dunn & Co., the highly respected tailoring firm that are best known or their extremely well cut, extremely sturdy, and extremely traditional Harris Tweeds. Indeed, in the 1950s and 1960s part of the rite of passage of becoming a successful American academic was to secure a visiting position at Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, or St Andrews, and while there acquire a Dunn & Co. tweed!

The tailoring of this jacket is impeccable, living up to Dunn's excellent reputation. It is a traditional two button closure with subtle darts; fully canvassed, and fully lined. It has twin vents, as befits its British heritage. All of the buttons are brass, featuring a thistle motif--appropriately enough given the tartan from which this is cut! Apart from a pinhole just above the vents at the left-hand back (which I found only when examining the jacket very closely indeed) this is in absolutely excellent condition--indeed, it was freshly dry cleaned and then stored in a cedar closet, so it's ready to wear.

Asking just $49, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at reduced cost!

STUNNING 3/2 Jacket
in Modern Anderson Tartan.



Hand-Tailored by an Italian Master Tailor at his workshop in Albany, NY.

PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS!​

c. 44, 46R. Measurements:

Chest: 23 1/2
Sleeve: 25 1/4 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 20
Length: 30 1/2

This is absolutely gorgeous! It was hand-made by Angelo "Joe" Amore at his tailoring shop in Albany, NY. Angelo started his tailoring apprenticeship in 1936, at the age of 8; he qualified as a Master Tailor in Milan in 1948. After emigrating to America he opened his own tailoring firm in 1967 in downtown Albany, and quickly became established as THE tailor for the city's elite. (He made most of Mario Cuomo's suits.) Unlike many old-school tailors, Joe is still working at the age of 90, still at his downtown location--his son, Robert, is also a Master Tailor and now works in the Albany suburbs.

Neither Angelo nor Robert have succumbed to fashion--they are primarily tailors, adhering to the time-tested principles of menswear, and so their work is utterly classic, cut from Scottish tweeds and tartans, and cloth by Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil, and Zegna.

This jacket shows just how wonderful Angelo's work in. As befits a Master Tailor from Milan this is a classic American 3/2 jacket with a lovely Italian twist. It is darted, rather than a sack, and has finished faux buttonholes for the buttons on the cuffs. It is, of course, fully canvassed, and fully lined, and features a single center vent. All of the buttons are original to it, and appear to be vintage from the 1960s.

This could be worn casually or formally, with tuxedo trousers, formal dress, shirt, and a bow.

Naturally, it features handwork throughout, and is of exceptional quality. (Angelo still works in the traditional manner--cross-legged, on the floor, and this is how this jacket was sewn.) Although the provenance of the tartan (which is Anderson Modern) cloth is not given it is almost certainly Scottish.

It does have two minor flaws:there is a small rub mark on the leading edge of one interior pocket, and it could use a sympathetic press, as when it is being hung on a hanger one of the shoulders is slightly out of line. (This ONLY affects the jacket when it is being hung, not when it is being worn!) This is thus in Very Good/Excellent condition, and so is a steal at just $59, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.

A beautiful jacket hand-tailored in the USA in Scottish tartan by a Milanese Master Tailor for less than the price of a tank of gas!

STUNNING 3/2 Jacket
in Modern Anderson Tartan.

Any idea sir of the post cost of this to Perth Western Australia 6026 ?

That Anderson Modern is particularly lovely. I'd have been tempted, but I think it's just too tight for me on the shoulders.

(If you end up eBaying that one, do widen your market with a Rocky Horror Picture Show reference; while no such jacket is seen in the film, Dr Scott's blanket is indeed Anderson Modern, and it's the sort of thing that the fanbase will pick up on as an associated / reference point novelty.
