[TweedyDon]

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!

*****************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!

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.

I don't know... JPress would be competing with Steve Harvey, Phat Farm, Stacy Adams, and Fubu in the 4-button jacket market.

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.

Chuckles to Dr. L.

I have a PRL tweed from the 80s with four, count 'em, four buttons.

Just because I haven't seen the Lock Ness Creature doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Maybe post in the tweed season thread for everyone's enjoyment?

But not the 4/3 tweed sack market, with canvassing!

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.

Thank you! No throat latch, I'm afraid!

So jealous of everyone who can thrift jackets that fit...Tweedy has some great finds! I'm small shouldered (18") and big chested (23" pit to pit) and can rarely find anything. To old and lazy to hit the weights. Would rather be playing golf!

Not a true sack since it is darted, but it is a tweed 4/3 from Ralph Lauren Polo. Came across it on Ebay.

BUMP. Nice fall shirt folks.

Orvis retails these at 89 bucks. You can have this one for $25, CONUS shipping included.

BUMP. Getting harder to find USA-made Woolrich these days.

VINTAGE WOOLRICH PLAID WOOL SHIRT

Measures 24" chest, 35" sleeve.
