Vintage 1962 Ryder & Amies Brown Tweed Jacket – Bespoke Cambridge Tailoring 48 Chest
An original 1960s British tweed jacket by Ryder & Amies, the historic Cambridge outfitters, with a bespoke tailoring label dated April 1962.
Made in a handsome brown and grey flecked tweed, this traditional three-button jacket features notched lapels, structured shoulders and a beautifully proportioned longer silhouette typical of early 1960s British menswear.
The jacket has leather-edged cuff detailing, adding an unusual finishing touch to its classic country-inspired styling.
With its dated tailoring provenance, substantial tweed fabric and traditional construction, this is an interesting surviving example of British bespoke menswear from the early 1960s.
A distinctive piece for anyone who appreciates original tailoring, heritage clothing and the character of vintage British sports jackets.
