Hart Schaffner Marx (USA) Men's Navy Pure Wool Blazer *Brass Button Accents*

Tailored men's blazer by Hart Schaffner Marx. Smooth, subtle sheen fabric. Classic silhouette. Clean, refined look & appearance. Founded in Chicago in 1887 by brothers Harry and Max Hart, Hart Schaffner Marx revolutionized American menswear by introducing factory-tailored suits and blazers scaled for diverse body types. Their classic navy and camel blazers became mid-century staples of traditional American style, known for union-made USA construction, soft-shouldered tailoring, and premium fabrics like tropical wool. Brand Origins and Evolution: 1872–1887: Harry and Max Hart open a small Chicago clothing shop, joined later by Marcus Marx and cousin Joseph Schaffner to form the official partnership. Early Innovation: The brand pioneered ready-to-wear sizing for stout, slim, tall, and short body types, democratizing high-end tailored style over custom tailoring. Wartime Production: The company manufactured military uniforms for the U.S. Army during both World War I and World War II, refining its structured tailoring techniques. The Classic Blazer Design: The Silhouette: Traditionally featured a conservative two-button or three-button front, notched lapels, full lining, and center or double rear vents cut in a comfortable classic fit (such as their signature Chicago cut). Details: Frequently accented with brass or gold-tone crest buttons, flap pockets, and fine worsted wool fabrics.Manufacturing: Long celebrated for domestic production and union-made craftsmanship.
