Looks like an old West Point cadet jacket? I’ve found a military overcoat by the same maker that had a date from the 30s? If I’m remembering correctly.

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I thought I would bring the following here before I made them available on the "open market." I can't say that I thrifted them either, but if the % rule of retail still applies, these fit the rule. Purchased with an intended individual in mind, but unfortunately, they will not work out. See X post from What I'm selling on eBay below:

Hey there! I just wanted to share that I recently purchased some fresh out-of-the-bag new without-tags sportcoats with a specific person in mind, but unfortunately, they aren't going to work out. I figured I'd give this community a chance to see if anyone is interested in them before I put them on the open market. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is a serious buyer and would love these items! They measure around 44 to 46 and have an underarm measurement of 23 inches.

They are Vicuna (14%)/Cashmere/Silk, have the original leather hanger, and come with the classic coral pin.

I don't recognize that lining pattern at all. Good pattern matching, looks like a handsewn button hole and the buttons look to have the extra thread for some space (can't remember what you call that.). I am going to guess custom of some kind, lets guess D'Avenza but I really don't know.

Is that a more modern Crocket and Jones label? I found a few pairs today but only took home the nicest condition oxfords. Will get some pics up tomorrow. Was probably about five decent pairs of shoes by the same donator. Loake MIE, Cheaney, Church’s and Crockett and & Jones

Handgrade label.

I also took notice of that - Shanked buttons? A lot of the time I see that it's on like Borrelli shirts with the hand done crowfoot/chickenfoot stitch and wound shank.
