I've never seen anything like that before. Let's hope that the Japanese gent that will surely buy this plans to reproduce it.

Yes, this should work fine as a repro. Reminds me of the LVC cotton Norfolk I sold not long ago.

(as Chowderhouse's post of the same jacket has mysteriously vanished, here's the jacket we were discussing above) ...

'Boss of the Road' boy's Norfolk styled casual/work jacket:

sold for $1950 (£1215).
i thought it might have gone higher.


'Boss of the Road' is a brand by Neustadter Brothers, a highly collectable label who made this coat:

...which sold a while ago for $3000.

'ghost sign' discovered during demolition of a building:

I just noticed how interestingly and consistently bad the construction is on the back of that jacket. hmmmm

You mean that even though there is a certain...hmm...slant to it the pattern is still lined up nicely?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Well, it's just that the yoke and belt are cut on an angle/slope, for whatever reason.
