A pair of two vintage men’s single-breasted wool tweed sport coats including one mid-20th-century jacket and one later herringbone design. The first garment is constructed from hand-woven Harris Tweed wool in a small-scale check pattern of brown, cream, and olive green, finished with a bronze-coloured satin-finish lining. It features notched lapels, a two-button front closure with three buttons per cuff, a single breast pocket, two flap pockets, and a central rear vent. A white woven label at the neck displays the Harris Tweed orb logo and text reading ‘HAND WOVEN Harris Tweed’ with registered trade mark number ‘319214’ and a side-mounted serial number tag reading ‘02640’. An interior pocket label reads ‘MENS WEAR SPECIALISTS Hope Brothers LTD REGENT STREET, London. W.1.’ The second jacket features a charcoal and grey herringbone weave with a rust-brown windowpane overcheck, two cuff buttons, and a light blue viscose lining. An interior pocket bears a black label with gold embroidery reading ‘Keynote Menswear MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA’. A secondary black label with green text states ‘100% Pure New Wool’ and ‘100% Viscose lining’. This lot comprises the two jackets only; the background stairs, display items, and medals shown in the images are not included.
