"the college shop of minneapolis" 3/2, hook vent sack. an odd 50s fabric...kind of a brownish charcoal mini-herringbone with maroon stripe overlay. looks much better than it sounds. measurements are all 1/2" smaller than the brooks makers 38R i put on yesterday, except shoulders were same (17") ...so maybe its the cut, or maybe its a 37R. some tiny moth holes, all less than 1/8"...almost pre-holes...nothing noticeable IMO.

the best blue sack blazer ive ever seen, 39R, 3/2, hook, great slim boxy cut, great pocket detail......but entirely trashed by moths. if anyone wants it as a template ill go back and get it, it was in the junk bin for 2 bucks.

15/33 all cotton ecru ocbd , lockerloop, lord and taylor dept. store....fairly sure it was made by sero, from similar markings on bottom front...

Med. pendleton madras SS buttondown

gant foxhunt plaid LS with lockerloop, majority teal green, L, blend

gant 15.5x 33 blue blend OCBD, pre-77 vintage, 3rd button and loop. anheuser-busch logo on cuff (im sure cuff could be flipped but not an expert)

brooks poplin 3/2 sack, 44R. some little stains which i havent tried to remove yet.

9.5 B black longwings produced in england for marshall fields dept. store. fields logo is very old. im guessing these are the ones produced by loake for the US market. theyre somewhat trashed but would be a wearable beater pair with some maintenance.


All manner of old tweed and blue overcoats seen, if anyone needs one...also a london fog harrington....also various fog raincoats...brooks continues to have the winter stuff on super-sale....

golden age 2 p. suit, 2/3 roll sack, hook vent, "marshall fields the store for young men"dacron/worsted blend, charcoal stripe. 41Reg, pants about 35x30

green herringbone sack, 2/3, hook vent, measurements 1/2" larger than the brooks makers 38R, so im calling it a generous 38 or a 39. perfect, no issues.

corbin chinos, USA, late 70s or 80s, plain front/deep cuff. 17" across waist, inseam roughly 28.

9.5 C black longwings in great condition, forget name of mfgr. but it starts with a "w"......wana something.

3 brooks orig. polo shirt ocbds, cotton, 16x34 wht. heavy staining, have yet to bleach them...

1 of the same but blue, 16.5 x 36, excellent condition.

A flap pocket Purist!

First I've ever seen - Thanks.

old sack,(red numbering on union tag)  great shape ( from sweet-smelling ladies auxiliary store in old church, not the usual shitpit thrift store), harris tweed, hook vent, flapped patch pockets , cant tell if its a regular 3 or a 3/2 misbuttoned, thin lapel, marked 48 but fits like a modern 44 or 46 at very most......

maroon wool pendleton shirt, M (from the same place)

"the florsheim shoe" longwings, black, 8D

brooks pink dress shirt, all cotton, USA, 16/35
