If the blazer was a jacket a few years ago then further photos are unnecessary: http://forums.filmnoirbuff.com/viewtopic.php?pid=415366#p1
Marlowe, what was it you wanted to say?
Beg your pardon, hadn’t realized the post never went through.
Just bumping the 50s/60s Brooks button downs, blazer, and Wilton, ME Weejuns…
No problem, old chap. Teething problems - or something - still plague us. Nice to hear from you.
Marlowe I sent you a PM, please let me know if it didn't go through, saw in another post that messages not working
I think there was a mention in another thread regarding Hardy & Johnson jackets, If anyone is interested I have a Blue wash&wear H&J ( size 40") , that I bought from them in 2017, I've never worn the jacket as it's just a bit tight across shoulders & pits for me, and these days it's all about comfort for me,
Not sure if the jacket specifications that were on the H&J facebook page are still available,
If anyone is interested please PM me, I'd be happy to take some photos and jacket specifications and email to you,
I paid £190, would like to get £85 (or close), Thanks

Robbie you are a diamond ! Cheers,
PPT - these sizes will be more accurate than the ones I emailed to you,
I've tried to post the H&J sizes but doesn't allow me to paste properly.
Staxfan I'm tempted as 40 was my size but I've put on a 'bit of timber' in the last few months so suspect jacket might be too tight for me.
I didn't get your email as I've changed my email since I retired. I should update it on this site
Sorry email was to PPT. My email now updated so that still works
Pleased to advise PPT & I have come to an agreement on the H&J jacket , I'm glad it's going to a good home, hate to see some old git walking around my town wearing it and not realising it's ' Ivy ' !
Robbie may I suggest you take up your running again to shift that timber, hehe ,
PPT has got a bargain. I'm taking your advice Staxfan. Back in UK on Monday, running starts Tuesday morning. Trouble is I will be in the pub Tuesday lunchtime.

I've sadly had to accept that I now need to wear orthotics insoles in my footwear to get any degree of comfort, unfortunately they don't fit into loafers, so if anyone is interested I have 2 pairs of JS x Rancourt loafers in black & dark tan grain, size UK 7.5, and a pair of Florsheim brown suede Yummas, if anyone is interested PM me and I'll let you have more details, otherwise I guess I can put the Rancourts in a glass case and just admire them !
Staxfan - sadly, not my size, but can I ask about the fit of those JS x Rancourt loafers? How do they compare to US weejuns? How wide are they? Much stretch etc?
Hope you don't mind me asking.....weighing up getting a pair as I've STILL breaking in a pair of US weejuns and wondering whether it's worth just getting something made of better leather!
Hi Colin,
It’s a long long time since I had any US Weejuns, I’d say average on the width and they do stretch well, the leather is very soft, they are in a different league to any other loafers currently available IMHO, but of course it comes at a price,
I'm a US 8 in Weejuns I think, and I have some JS Rancourts in UK 7 which fit very well. But mine may be a different batch to Stax's. So I suspect a US8.5 would be right for Stax's UK 7.5.
If it helps the width shown on the boxes is ‘EE’
Oh, that's ideal for me (especially given a bit of stretch)
Long shot.... if anyone has any J.Keydge jackets in a 50 ( maybe 52) blocking up their wardrobes can you let me know, thanks,
