Trad Nirvana: J. Press Tweed, Circa 1953
One of the great things about thrift store shopping is finding something that seems like it comes from another world. This J. Press coat I found over the weekend is a perfect example. It’s a custom job, completed in October of 1953.
The tweed on this feels like it could stop a bullet. In fact, sixty years later, it’s completely unscarred by time. It could well have just come off the production line. Unlike J. Press today, which usually features a single hooked vent, it’s unvented, but it still features the classic three-roll-two button configuration.
I only wish that it fit me.
It’s the little things like hidden details, traditional post, heavy card, cloth boxes, hand written notes, stories & unexpected gifts that make the difference in this world of #DressedByInternet generation..

This is a really lovely piece from a genuine class act. A guy who really is worth paying attention to. I just turned 32, and I’m still trying to figure out how to live a balanced, grown-up life. Kareem gets it.

Got a couple of things through Put This On in the mail the other week! They’ve been putting their pocket squares up on Etsy, but only what hasn’t sold through their Gentleman’s Association subscription, so they don’t last long. The tie I found through one of their regular eBay roundup posts, and it’s definitely one of my favorite items at the moment.
Wore two of the things on this rack today haha.
