Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
Has anyone suggested unvented jackets are strictly European? Unlikely, as Carey Grant wore them. However I still regard them as univy - no vent ruins the look, and Brooks experimenting in the 1930s hardly contradicts that.
Did Brooks continue offering ventless sacks beyond the 1930s?

P.S. As I never saw such an old no 1 suit apart from two 1930s items on the bay...

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
Not all Brooks were 3/2 but this also could have been custom tailored at Brooks Brothers as the measurements don't read like RTW to me. I doubt that the vent was closed though. It really looks like it's maybe a late-40s or early-50s three button summer suit. I've seen many unvented from this period. If it were $150 less, I'd spring for it as it's still a beautiful suit but whoever's taking it at the price on the assumption that it's 1920's/30's vintage is getting duped!

Off to Tailorcaid to be copied hopefully. It'd be nice to see the style brought back.

If it's with a vent then certainly. I'd buy one.

Re: Ebay / Etsy alert
I'm curious as to how you came across such an item!
Do you know what a Palmist once said to me? She said: will you let go!
