Connoisseur
The dark charcoal Harris tweed, the vintage Albion Harris tweed, the Glen Plaid Corneliani, and the Mckenzie Harris tweed have all been claimed--thank you!
MORE TO COME!
MORE TO COME!
Went back to really look at it and still amazes me that it is almost 70 years old (and now think about it as never have before, my DB is about 70 also).*****************UPDATE***************
Richard E. Press, the archival consultant at J. Press, has confirmed that the 4/3 sack jacket from J. Press that I listed earlier is from 1949 or 1950, which is the only season that Press offered this style in a very short-lived revival!
With thanks to Marc Chevalier for checking on this!
NB: This is currently on hold, as J. Press Archives have first refusal!
I don't know... JPress would be competing with Steve Harvey, Phat Farm, Stacy Adams, and Fubu in the 4-button jacket market.Went back to really look at it and still amazes me that it is almost 70 years old (and now think about it as never have before, my DB is about 70 also).
Harris Tweed used to come in much more variety and weaves, interesting pairing orange and purple.
Hope does go into achieve so preserved, maybe even to be inspiration for a future J Press.
Odd, the pictures and text state classic 3/2 sack. I have not seen a four button out there, thought after the War no longer.I don't know... JPress would be competing with Steve Harvey, Phat Farm, Stacy Adams, and Fubu in the 4-button jacket market.
Just because I haven't seen the Lock Ness Creature doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Chuckles to Dr. L.
I have a PRL tweed from the 80s with four, count 'em, four buttons.
But not the 4/3 tweed sack market, with canvassing!I don't know... JPress would be competing with Steve Harvey, Phat Farm, Stacy Adams, and Fubu in the 4-button jacket market.
What a beautiful jacket. And that label! I have a Press jacket from 1956, which has a working throat latch tucked behind the collar. Does this jacket also have that feature? I've always wondered if it was standard at Press in the 1950's.*****************UPDATE***************
