Vintage 1950's or 60's Wool Flannel Cricketeer Wasson's 3 Button Suit Jacket USA

Description

Hello and welcome to another Annabelle’s Auctions production. The only thing we love more than finding cool vintage stuff is offering the same swell items to you. We especially dig things from the Olden Days when Made in the USA was taken for granted. We will be listing a wide variety of items in the coming weeks and will of course always combine shipping in the interest of saving you dollars while saving us packing. Please read the entire description of the item and fine print below; placing a bid constitutes acceptance of all terms. And as always, thanks a bunch for looking!
This is an absolutely gorgeous vintage suit jacket/blazer. This three-button beauty was made by Cricketeer for H.P. Wasson & Co., which was a store right here in Indianapolis, now long gone. It was most likely made in the early 1960's, but could date back to the 50's. It is made from a stunning dark green fabric checked with black that feels like lovely old flannel. (In the pictures the dark green appears slightly more gray depending on the screen it's being viewed upon, but rest assured it's green and not gray in reality.) It is semi-lined with a silky fabric in a truly arresting vintage pattern. It features three outer pockets and two inner pockets, and is in remarkable vintage condition, especially considering that it's now 70-odd years old at least. It has no stains that we could find, and best of all none of the holes that are typically found in wool garments of this age. All of the buttons are fully intact, and there is no fraying to the cuffs. The tagging does not indicate size, but it measures to about a size 42 at approximately 21 inches across the chest when laid flat and 34 top to bottom.
Please check out our other listings for more cool and vintage things; we will of course combine shipping for multiple purchases. All offers will be considered so please don’t hesitate to shoot us one! Please email any questions, don't forget to read the fine print below, and thanks again for looking!
THE FINE PRINT:
REGARDING CONDITION: Because almost everything we sell is vintage, almost everything is no longer new and as such is being sold under a general heading of As Is. We describe everything accurately and go out of our way to point out flaws, but it is the responsibility of the buyer to ask any questions regarding any points of concern not covered in the item description. PAYMENT/SHIPPING: Prompt payment through PayPal is appreciated. Please do not bid if you do not intend to pay. If purchasing multiple items, please wait for us to send you a combined shipping invoice for the best possible shipping cost. We ship every other day through USPS, mostly through Priority or Parcel, but for LPs, books, DVDs and other eligible items we also offer Media Mail.
Media Mail is subject to inspection by USPS, and the Seller cannot be held accountable for any damage that may occur at the hands of clumsy USPS employees during shipment.
If payment is made before noon Midwest time, we will do everything we can to ship that very same day. RETURNS: In the unlikely event a refund needs to be requested, we reserve the right to issue a full refund upon return or no refund at all;
absolutely no partial refunds will be given!
The only negative feedback we have ever received came from someone trying to extort a partial refund through a threat of negative feedback, so if that’s your game please look elsewhere!
