Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

Are the lapels too big?

Brooks Brothers! Must be a 70s jacket.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

The quality will be superb. As long as your trousers aren't too tapered and your tie, should you wear one, is of a similar width to that of the lapels you'll be fine. Nice find.

Yeah I don't wear anything less than a 8.5" hem these days, even on my slim lapeled New Nine Nasa-esque suit. The 3 piece with similar lapels to the above is just over 9.5.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

I usually wear 7.5" on my trousers. I have to get the jacket and see, he accept returns so if it's WAY too big I just ship it back.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

Thanks, Stanshall - I've been looking at it for absolutely ages and felt I could now justify it.

Also, measuring as a 40 XL looks measurements suggest it was made for me!

Definitely pre-62 given the union label.

Superb. I have one similar that I have been promising to photograph for years. This winter it will happen.

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

Thanks, both. Was immensely lucky that it fitted and could rescue it.

A cold enough start to the morning in England to warrant digging it out for a photo, Yuca?

Re: Recent Old Ivy Finds

Holy cow. That right there is an amazing find, all the more so for being an in-person snag... Beautiful beautiful jacket... Tag have the original price on it?

My dad was living in the Minneapolis area around that time, actually...
