Restoration Part 1: Tweed Jackets From E-Bay

Always the cautious e-bay buyer I knew that scoring some heavy tweed jackets for the fall and winter would end up costing me a bit more than $5. I found two vintage coats that date back to the 1950′s one in a very thick, gray, heavy heringbone tweed and the other in a beautiful brown and white window pane check tweed.

Upon arrival the heavy herringbone was about a size too big and both suffered from about half an inch of sleeve shortness. I called Matt at Imparali and we made arrangements to have both looked at. Thankfully, both were tailorable and were fit perfectly to my body.
