Is there a specific terms for that vertical striped herringbone pattern?
Also possibly of interest, this mint looking '74 three-piece Makers:

Both of those are way bigger than 40 (assuming that the measurements are correct). Good jackets though.
And anyone with small feet could score these babies. Bostonian Student version of the Yuma

This is in dumpy shape but it's a pretty cool looking coat, I really dig the jivy olive-red plaid pattern over dogtooth checks with contrasting olive shawl and knit cuffs...

Well that was quick... I had a change of heart and decided to write the seller re. rise + ask about possible stains/discoloration to fabric from decades of storage, so I pulled the post and went back to the listing and it's already ended, ha! I hope they went to a good home.

Ollie I nabbed the Greenwood cords, thanks!
... On the tag the word "Husky" appears
WTF? They should have just called it "Obese" and spared me the euphemism
I might have done a good thing, though
But there is no chance I would have known about it without your post so I'm grateful for the heads up
this thread sleighs

Was just gonna pull the trigger on those and they were gone... if they don't work out for whoever got them, pm me?
Tombo I'm sorry but if they're too snug for me you've got 'em if you're still interested, seen!
Those looks like a keeper, provided there isn't permanent discoloration from that dusty attic. I would've had them taken into a 33, but I'm sure they could just as easily be let out an inch given that they're nos. Worth doing too (if needed) for the price!

This $8 tropical Deansgate hopsack blazer tailored for a Hawaiian mens outfitter might be worth writing the seller for measurements, although the shape looks a bit post-'67 to my eyes, it could just be the crappy photos - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Reyns-Mens-Wear-Three-Button-Blazer-Reyns-Spooner-/131678587576?
Here's another with some hideous ornamented buttons that need to be trashed stat, but Hughes Hatcher Suffrin was top shelf in my book; natch shoulders, this mid century lapel, all the details are ticked off and the price is reasonable. It's dated '66 on the label. Don't be fooled by the ugly buttons. - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hughes-Hatcher-Suffrin-Navy-3-Button-Tailored-Sports-Coat-Blazer-USA-/121828925767?
