Vintage Brooks Brothers Makers Brown Windowpane Tweed Jacket - Union Made in USA before 1976, 39 Short

The label reads Brooks Brothers, Makers, Established 1818, with a size tag of 70156, 39SH, 34W, Made in U.S.A., and the union tag of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. Brown windowpane tweed, notch lapel, three-button front with dark tortoise buttons, two flap pockets, single back vent. 39 Short.

Brooks Brothers is the oldest clothier in America, open on Catherine Street in 1818, and the Makers label was reserved for the tailored clothing made in its own workrooms rather than bought in. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America was the tailors' union from 1914 until it merged into the ACTWU in 1976, so the tag puts this jacket before that year. A three-button Brooks sack in brown windowpane is the professor's jacket, the one that was never fashionable and never out of it.
