About this piece

Brad Whitney was a California-based western tailoring brand active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, producing structured corduroy blazers and sport coats with a distinctly western American aesthetic. Their garments are characterized by wide-wale cotton corduroy construction, scalloped suede or faux-suede shoulder yokes, wide western lapels, multi-pocket designs, and solid American construction throughout. Brad Whitney blazers are now collected in the vintage western, gorpcore, and Americana markets for their combination of authentic period craftsmanship and a rugged-but-refined silhouette that crosses freely into contemporary styling.

This Men's 38R is the Norfolk 8 model — one of Brad Whitney's named western sport coat configurations. The tan/golden beige wide-wale corduroy construction features a prominent scalloped suede shoulder yoke across both shoulders and upper back, wide 1970s-era western lapels, a three-button front with bronze-tone buttons, four-button sleeves, dual flap patch pockets at the waist, and a fully acetate-lined interior. Single back vent. The jacket has been recently professionally dry cleaned and presents in good used condition with noted minor imperfections — see condition checklist and photos for full disclosure.
