Nah, if I wanted it bad enough i'd have got it, only go for things I really need, tweed jackets I have plenty of, cotton ones I could add to, but need to be the right one - not just anything, something that works across my wardrobe - and that is in my meagre budget. Still lots in the list
My turn,
One for the 40/42 chest crew, needs a little TLC but should fix up nicely.

That's beautiful!
I have an early sixties model SB herringbone sack from Zach and it's probably my favorite sport coat that I own. I'm pretty sorted in the blazer dept. but I'd love a nice cotton hopsack.
Someone on the forum should bag that!

This is kind of a cool mid century relic of boy scout budget ivy footwear; kind of the cheap plastic now-weejuns of their time:

The cut may not be everyones cup of tea - but £70 delivered for raw denim selvedge Levis is a steal ! Certainly a lot cheaper than their LVC counterparts - and if you order two pairs you can save an extra 10%

I wouldn't pay $25 for them... those soles make them look like they were made for a barbie/ken doll.

Would be nicer if it was all cotton.

I deleted this post earlier 'cause I had my sights locked on two killin' tweeds, both of which I took for $30 under asking. This one is a real winner though; someone should make an offer on this:

This cat's got a number of great looking tweed 3/2 sacks for sale.
Here's another really nice Richman Bros tweed with a messed up lapel that requires a bit of imagination to fully appreciate:

Love this one too; size is right but the price is wrong!

Seller confirms soft natural shoulders but the button stance is a bit high. Looks like it could maybe be pressed out to get a bit of roll in the lapel like the old Brooks Uni Shop that was sort of somewhere between a three button and not quite 3/2 front. It's a good price and sized like a dead-on 38R.
Wow you weren't kidding about the button stance.
I might've considered it otherwise, though I'm pretty sure with some effort it could be pressed out to look somewhat like this (envision it properly buttoned) -

Looks late-60's Sunset Strip era to me with the 10" vent and height of the lapel.
