^^^ Thanks! Wear it well! -M-
Hi! I've added a handful of new items to my Etsy chop. Also, PRICE DROPS to make some room for upcoming spring and summer items. Thanks! -M-
HiTJ, could you re-measure the the chest on this
http://www.etsy.com/listing/93185623/vi … s-brothers
I see you have it marked as a 48R, but the chest measurement you give is 44'', just wondering is either is a typo, as I'm interested, also, is there an inlay in the jacket, and trousers? Thanks mate!
^^ Hi! I just double checked the jacket's measurements and made corrections to the listing. The sack jacket is a 48 R. (I had copied and pasted the template from a different jacket and accidentally did not change the original measurements.)
Thanks for the heads up!

Hi!
I just finished listing a few things on eBay. Some highlights include: a current J. Press sweater vest in heathered blue XL, Alden burgundy tassel loafers in US 8 1/2 B / D (.99 cent starting price!), and vintage Alden for BB black tassel loafers in US 9 1/2 D (also .99 cent starting price!). Let me know via eBay messaging if you're interested and I can enable international bidding.

All ending Sunday March 11, 2012: http://www.ebay.com/sch/typhoid_jones/m … ksid=p3686
Thanks! -M-

I added a mix of new things to my Etsy shop - The Andover Shop, BB, J. Press, etc. - the usual suspects. A few real gems and LOTS of "Made in USA."
Thanks for taking the time to look!

Like the new look for the photos TJ, shows things off better.
^^^ Thanks Bop. I'm still working out some of the details, but it is a definite improvement from what it was before.
Hi all!
I've updated some pictures / descriptions as well as added a handful of new items to the Etsy shop. I will also be offering some not-so-vintage Brooks Brothers & J. Press here on the "For Sale" thread in the next few days.
Thanks for looking!

Hey Guys!
I'm not sure how many of you read the blog PUT this ON (http://putthison.com/), but they used one of my current Ebay auctions to headline today's EBAY ROUNDUP (and featured a total of four of my current auctions )!
Most of the pieces that I put on Ebay aren't Trad or Ivy per se, but if any of you see anything you might like, just PM me through eBay and I'll offer international shipping for you. Either way, I'm also in the process of adding a number of really nice vintage pieces to my Etsy shop and I'll make an announcement here when that is ready to go.
Thanks!
^^^ PS - Please let me know that you're a member of Talk Ivy if you would like to inquire about international shipping via eBay PM. Thanks!

The Henry Poole currently looks good value. A Savile Row suit for 35 of your American dollars. Very good value compared to a lot of the old toot you see on eBay.
Hi!
I FINALLY got around to adding some of the vintage pieces that I've been coming up with to my Etsy shop. Some highlights include a deadstock / NOS 1950s Brooks Brothers OCBD popover, 1960s Brooks Brothers charcoal gray wash 'n' wear sack suit, some LL Bean "Blucher-style" hard sole mocs from their 1989 "Campus Loungers" collection, and more.
Also, I will be visiting London sometime this upcoming month and all European orders will be shipping from within the EU.
Thanks!

Nice additions... wish the Brookstweed and glen plaid Golden Fleece were a tad smaller; the dark plaid sack is great too!
I just grabbed the Rooster madras and pink ocbd btw. ![]()
^^^ Yeah, the two Golden Fleece suits really are quite nice. I keep wishing they were both 38 Rs, lol. I also really liked that Rooster tie.
Thanks for taking a look!

Hi all! I wanted to give everyone here a sort of pre-listing heads up regarding an item that I will be adding to my Etsy shop later today when I get home from work. I came across a truly vintage 1960's (white block letters on a black tag) Brooks Brothers quarter lined summer weight navy blue blazer with gold toned "Golden Fleece" logo buttons in about a US size 40 (if it was a 36 or 38 it would have found its home in my closet, lol). I had my tailor tighten up the lining and deal with any maintenane issues - it's ready to roll. Also, summer weight sack jackets from Anderson-Little and others and a pile of Makers shirting from 15 1/2 all the way to 17 1/2. Thanks! -M-
Will you have anything 42 or 44? It is quite hard to get this kind of stuff for a short fat guy.
^^^ I'll keep my eye out for a navy blue blazer along those lines that might meet your size requirements. In the meantime, I have something else in your size range (it is on the line between a 42 R and a 42 S) that might work for you...
^^^ Vintage HASPEL for Harvard Coop 2 Piece Khaki Wash and Wear Summer Suit 42 R. Made in USA.


If you're interested in seeing more pictures or would like specific measurements, here's a link to it in my Etsy shop:

Thanks!

I like the "veritas" bow tie!
I doubt on the other hand that it would lend me gravitas.
