BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE BOATING JACKET, CUSTOM-MADE IN PHILADELPHIA!
Absolutely lovely, and very rare!
Absolutely lovely, and very rare!
c. 44, 46S. Measurements:
Chest: 23 1/2
Sleeve: 22 1/2 (+1 3/4)
Shoulder: 20
Length: 28 1/2
Custom-made by Armindo's of Philadelphia, this lovely classic boating jacket has a base colour of regal purple, with striping in dove grey and silver grey, interspersed with navy.
It is cut as a contemporary two button jacket from heavier mid-weight wool. It has no rear vent--the proper configuration for boating jackets. It features jetted pockets at the front and three button cuffs. It is fully lined and fully canvassed. It features handwork on the lapels and placket.
It does have a couple of minor flaws: Some minor thread bumps on the back, likely there since it was new, and two very small holes which can easily be ignored--one under the sleeve near the armpit, and one by the right seam-seam, also in a spot where it won't be seen when worn. And there is a small blemish in the lining by the pocket entry, as shown.
This is thus in Very Good condition, and is a bargain at just $39, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA!
