Vintage Natural Shoulder Goodness from Brooks Brothers

Like the W.W. Chan blazer I posted this morning, this one also only cost $1.50 at an estate sale over the weekend.

One of These is Not Like the Other…

Four of the seven jackets in yesterday’s epic haul. The top one and the bottom two are vintage pieces from Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and Southwick, respectively, and all cut in the traditional ivy style: undarted, 3 roll 2 lapel, center vented, and with a 2 button cuff. The third jacket, a more recent Polo Ralph Lauren by Corneliani is a nice thick tweed, but features a regular soft rolling 2 button lapel, 4 buttons cuffs, and a center vent as well.
