Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
In all likelihood the cuff buttons were removed. Consider replacing all buttons with horn buttons. It's a cheap and easy fix.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Hey boys, I'm in the market for my (first) sport coat. If anyone's found one in the seemingly-fabled 36R, hit me up

From The Graduate... young Dustin was often stylish but if it looks Ivy then it's from TG for sure...

Great jackets Colin and Bradley, especially that great cord from Bradley, Colin.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Nice man; I've got the same one with some paint splattering on the back.
Did someone just outsnipe me on an old Brooks cord sack with patch pockets on eBay?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Wait until you receive the item before deciding on the details of surgery. Consider swapping out the buttons.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
It wasn't pricey so I can resell easily. I can always drop it off at this fella's vintage shop on Haight (a few blocks above Masonic) for a quick buck. I've got some overdue boxes to lug over anyhow. I'll confer with my tailor before making any incisions. It definitely needs to be shortened. It's 32" from below the collar which would make it a long; I usually wear 30". It looks like it could probably be trimmed very subtly at the hem without throwing things off kilter. I won't do it if it turns out otherwise though.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Swapping buttons for what?
I dig the antiqued brass and they've got a cool lunar crater like texture.
I think I read that this dates to '58. It's got the red printed union label.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds
Looks like the jacket equivalent of leiderhosen, not a criticism just an observation think it might the mix of the piping and metal buttons which might be why Farrago thinks it would look better swapped.
The real test of course is in the wearing, items can often look better on. Lovely shape and interested by details.
