Ebay has lots of excellent items of relevance turning up recently in my saved searches, from jackets to shirts and shoes.
People seem to be clearing out of all kinds including classic Ivy brands up to JS, Keydge, Vetra, Hardy & Johnson etc. Interesting to see recent brands there, .I often wonder who it is clears out such as H&J when you would have to prize it from my hands. It does seem some of the clothes and shoes are bought and never worn at all, only to be sold on a number of years later.
I just got a stunning,made in Italy, never worn RL sport coat with every perfect Ivy detail. It really us a work of art. The fabric is a light fawn herringbone with other colours subtly woven in. My wife was hugely impressed. I won it on one bid, at the minimum. This is just one example, I've had beautiful seemingly unworn shoes by Loake and Sanders recently too, each with untouched danite soles which are perfect for work.
Outside the bay, I now have mopped up all the Gloverall short wool jackets in every colour at lowest sale prices each. They are wonderfully made in UK.

Sadly the h and j olive cord jacket I got for flatsixc is too small for me in the shoulders. I need to search to find out who it was who was also interested before and pass it on...
...Sid Ford, if you're still interested: Size 40 Hardy and Johnson olive cord jacket...
AUS - good to have you back posting ..... I'll take a look on the bay to see what might be of interest,
as an aside Maarkt regularly have some interesting stuff, particularly in NWT's, this week there were several Mercer ocbd's used but in good condition, they went the first day they were on there as it seems all the good stuff does, as did a Dehan shawl collared cardigan in navy,
I do keep an eye on Maarkt but never seem to have my size on items and prices can be a bit high when I don't actually need anything new now

Very possibly. Do you have any pics? and measurements?
(I'm, sadly, closer to a 42 now)
Will sort out soon - likely next week as busy few days. For me it's great, but shoulders a touch narrow
Also, could you message me a contact email to send jacket photos? (My outbox is full but can still receive messages here!)
Says your inbox is full too

Three wonderful Hardy and Johnson jackets at the bay currently.
Also a Lord & Taylor natural shoulder jacket, Rancourt loafers.
Intriguingly Eric 'Knocker' Knowles, the antiques expert is selling two pieces of 'art' by John Simons too, which are mounted pieces of polished wood, vaguely reminiscent of Barbara Hepworth. £200 each. The descriptions made me smile.

Was it this that made you smile 'He is also an artist of considerable repute.' ? Refering to J Simons or the Eric Knowles 'blowing his own trumpet' piece?
I have the Hardy & Johnson Herringbone jacket in a 44, bought from them in Putney.
Very reasonably priced new.
It was both parts of his description that you highlight that made me smile
