^ Easily the nicest looking patch madras I've seen. It's really forcing me to reconsider patch madras altogether. The same with Nick's monk straps on the other thread - always hated the things, but he wears them extremely well.

It's a patch print, not actually comprised of patches. When I first saw it I just assumed it was Polo or something until I saw it was 60s Manhattan!

15 Fresh items in the shop tonight! A killer Cricketeer suit in a 42L, a gorgeous Harris herringbone sack, madras slacks, more 60s shirts, and more!

damn that's a beautiful seersucker... wish it were a 37!!!

I'm gonna measure up anyway to see if it could possibly be adjusted. 5'9" and roughly 140-145lbs, whatdya think Zach??

If the 17.25" shoulder works, you could probably have it taken in to a 37-38.

How did I miss that navy suit!

Grrrr I'dve killed for that!

I'll pay more if anyone wants to sell it to me!

Darn, well congrats to you quickdraw!

I literally sent Zach an email the second it went up too and he responded seconds later saying that it'd been bought before he could put the hold on it, oh well!

Hope it works for ya.

Just snapped up that Bean madras!  Can't believe it lasted as long as it did, looks amazing.

I liked it, too small for me.

I was tempted NS but I don't like short sleeve shirts. The colours are great and as Zach said looks like the original colours available from the Veggie dyeing process.

Ah, once summer comes I live in short sleeves.  I think I overheat easily haha.  With some levi's, penny loafers and a tan g4 I'll be set!

edit - shit, didn't notice my 100th post!

I'd buy that (early-'70s?) Brooksgate madras sportcoat right now if the lapel were one inch thinner. As it's got swelled edges, it would be impossible to tailor.

It's a real smart jacket... bit too much width for me!
