Got a few things I'm looking to shift:
- 2 Andersons shetlands; 'Everest' model, 1x navy blue and 1x olive green. Both 42R (medium size). I take a 40R jacket and these fit me fine, I just never wear them. Blue worn about 3 or 4 times, green perhaps twice. Good as new condition.
- Vintage Brooks Brothers "346" suit in tan cavalry twill. Natural shoulders, undarted, 3/2 roll, lower patch pockets. Tagged a 40R but is a little small for me lengthwise. I'm 6 foot tall, so would fit someone of medium build but 5'9" - 5'10" I suppose.
- Vintage Brooks Brothers "346" suit in dark charcoal with very faint self windowpane check. Again, natural shoulders, undarted, 3/2 roll. Again, tagged 40R but a little short for me.
PM me for photos and detailed measurements/ prices
pm'd

Hi dean, sent a message a minute ago, also enquiring about the navy of the two shetlands! Not sure if it will fit, was enquiring about measurements. If NV asked first, could I get second dibs on the navy?
A bump for all the suits I still have available.
Can you get some more ties?
40 or 41R, possibly 42 3/2 sack, hook, etc. olive/hunter green plaid similar to many seen on o'connells site.
30 waist sta-prest knockoffs, new with original 60s tags, navy poly, unfinished bottoms, tiny hole in back waistband completely covered by belt.
Viewed, can retrieve;
40Lrichman bros. 2 button sack grey herringbone suit, ex. cond.
also many overcoats, raincoats in less common colors such as brown, green, plaids, and irridescent green.
also 38S 2 button sack w/vest, no pants, and numerous brooks jackets w/no pants, 40-44 range.
This one from the Thin Repp is back up for grabs, except this time, its available from the Hepcat:
Vintage J.Press sack suit in a wool/silk summer-weight fabric. Color is Medium blue, lighter than navy. The material has a slight nub to it, similar to Shantung silk. Lapped seams, hooked vent, 2 button cuffs, real mother-of-pearl buttons. Excellent condition. Measurements: 43 chest, 18 shoulder, 23.25 sleeve, 32 length TOC, 36 waist, 29 inseam.
There's photos of it included from the Thin Repp on his original post.
This is a really great summer suit in superlative condition, there a couple of snags if you're 42L/44 like myself. Its at most a 42S from my reckoning, sleeve length is around the 33 range and inside leg around 30/31". Otherwise a magnificent suit for the right sized chap.
I got a Gloverall Duffle Coat, made in England, size Medium for sale. It is quite slim fitting: chest measures 53cm or 21'', sleeve length is 63cm or 25'' from shoulder, overall length is 97cm or 38''. The coat is unlined. I got it off ebay last winter but have worn it only twice, condition is immaculate. I don't know how old it is and I am not sure about the fabric content, as there is no tag but I guess it is the usual Gloverall 85-15 mixture.

Just to let everyone know I will be consolidating everything and posting new items in my etsy shop, Newton Street Vintage. http://www.etsy.com/shop/NewtonStreetVintage
Things will improve over the coming holiday when I get a camera that isn't also a phone.
Ralph Lauren Polo 3 button navy blue blazer 39/40R.
An misbuy as it's slightly too small for yours truly so I'm offering it on here for a few days before it goes back on ebay.
Measurements: Armpit to Armpit 21", Shoulder to Shoulder 18", Armpit to Cuff 16.5", Shoulder to Cuff 24", Base of Collar to Hem 31"
It's a medium weight blazer in what I take to be wool cloth, 3 button fastening with a decent 3/2 roll, natural shoulders, single rear vent, flap pockets. Its quite a slim cut so it would probably suit a younger bloke or one of the whippets amongst us.
Good condition, needs pressing which I haven't gone to much trouble over as hopefully it's going back in the post before long!

brooks wash/wear pincord suit, 42L, late 70s. (classic proportions however, thin lapel).
Tons of new stuff in the shop. Flannel sack suit, repp tie lots, bespoke Anderson and Sheppard 3/2 tweed, Pendleton shirtjackets and more.
Blue 1-button peaked lapel suit is sold.
Hopefully, those two sets of Repp ties are sold to the Hepcat.
