So who is this Stanley Blacker who offered a blazer that has risen to such iconic status across the pond and prompted such a vigorous defense? He was a native New Yorker who studied business at New York University and design at the Philadelphia Textile School. Blacker was an army veteran and joined his father, Morris at Blacker Brothers, at the conclusion of the Second World War. Stanley Blacker rose to become president but sold his interest in the company when his father died. 1955 he formed Stanley Blacker Inc. and was well-positioned to ride the Ivy wave. Sportcoats like the one featured in the above advertisement were a big part of Blacker’s business, and the New York Times reported that he liked to be known by the moniker “Mr. Sport Coats.” When he died in 2000 at the age of 79, the New York Times called him “a prominent maker of men’s clothing who stitched his name to labels sold at upscale department stores across the country and overseas.” In achieving this, Blacker was a designer name long before the rise of the designer era. * HEADSHOT STANLEY BLACKER Exact Measurements: Shoulders to Shoulder: 20" Armpit to Armpit: 22.5" Sleeve Length: 26" Jacket Length: 33.5"
