Hickey Freeman Does a Mind-Blowing Tweed SUIT!

Tweed sport coats are a dime-a-dozen, a full tweed suit is a real treat! Hickey Freeman will blow you away with this incredible suit. The pale brown background comes to life with a bold glen plaid, complete with a subtle red windowpane. The fabric is a 100% wool tweed with a fuzzy hand. The fabric may be the finest tweed that I've ever felt, sorry Harris!

The pants have a true country suit cut, with double pleats and inner suspender buttons.

An incredible suit, in a size 42 Long. Bid on it HERE!

Polo Ralph Lauren University Club, yes it's a 34 Short!

Ralph Lauren University Club was the predecessor to the now-defunct "Rugby" line. It was a transitional collection, for young men who wanted a sleek-cut version of the classics. The line was American-made with full canvassed construction. Some folks on the interwebs knock the line for being a "diffusion," but they obviously haven't come across some of the fine pieces that this line produced.

This sport coat is untagged but is certainly a wool/silk, as evidenced by the "nubiness" characteristic of silk. The fabric is tightly knit and has a lovely beige backdrop. The plaid is done in purple, blue, and red- a unique color combo. Natural shoulder and high armholes, what more could you want? Measures an unreal size 34 Short. Bid on it here!
