Vintage Austin Reed of Regent Street Tweed Sport Coat — Men\'s 40L — Brown⚠️ PLEASE READ — SIZE TAG IS FADED AND ILLEGIBLE
The interior size tag on this coat has worn away and cannot be read. The listed size of 40L is my best estimate, derived entirely from the flat measurements below — it is NOT taken from a tag. Vintage sizing also runs differently than modern sizing, and this coat was cut with a longer sleeve typical of its era.Please measure a jacket you already own and compare it to the measurements below before you buy. Every measurement is listed openly and photographed. I am happy to take any additional measurement you\'d like — just message me before purchasing and I\'ll get it to you the same day. I would much rather answer questions up front than have the coat come back.Measurements (laid flat, buttoned):
- Chest (pit to pit): 21\" — double for full chest = 42\"
- Back Shoulder (seam to seam): 18\"
- Sleeve (shoulder seam to end of cuff): 26.5\"
- Back length (base of collar to hem): 31\"Measurements are taken by hand and may vary up to 1/2\".Classic British-house tweed blazer, woven and tailored in the USA for Austin Reed of Regent Street and sold through The Kleinhans Co. of Buffalo, New York. Warm brown donegal-style tweed with blue, rust, and green flecks running through the weave. Two-button front, notch lapel, flapped patch pockets, three-button cuffs, single center vent, and a fully lined brown interior.Why It\'s Vintage:
- Co-branded Austin Reed / Kleinhans label — Kleinhans was Buffalo\'s premier menswear house, founded 1893 and closed for good on December 30, 1992, which dates this coat to 1992 or earlier
- Original hand-written tailor\'s ticket still sewn inside the lining, showing the store order number and the retail price of $215 — roughly $500+ in today\'s dollars
- \"Woven & Tailored in U.S.A.\" label from the era when Austin Reed still produced domestically for the American market
