This is wonderful! A true vintage 3/2 jacket (a jacket whose lapel is cut so that the top button "rolls" backwards, leaving just two to fasten; the classic American Ivy league look!) that dates from the Golden Era of Ivy Style, this was made by Palm Beach, back when they made good stuff, for Strawbridge & Clothiers, of Philadelphia--the Strawbridge Building is now occupied by a mall brand, having folded in the 1990s, but during its existence it was a bastion of tradliness for the Philadelphia Main Line country club set.
This jacket is lovely! Its tweed has a classic 1950s/1960s patterning and colourway, a subdued plaid in muted forest greens and dark chestnuts, with a lighter green--almost grassgreen--overcheck. Although it has a 3/2 lapel, it features subtle darting, and a single centre vent. It is fully canvassed, and half-lined. It as, of course, Union Made in the USA.
It does have two minor issues: One of the cuff buttons is missing, which I would simply fix by converting it to a one-button cuff on both sides. And the lining has some fading to its colour at the edges owing to its age. Given these minor issues this is overall in Very Good condition, and hence is
just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA. International inquiries welcome, with shipping at cost!
Measurements:
Chest: 20 3/4
Sleeve: 24 1/2 (+1 1/2)
Shoulder: 18 1/2
Length: 30 1/2
