The Andover Shop is a traditional American clothier that has been offering the finest menswear to New England elites — scholars, artists and statesmen alike — since its establishment in 1948 in Andover, and then in Cambridge. It is today among only a handful of independent clothiers that stand by a style, “the Ivy Style”, that embodies the traditional American elegance.

Patchwork tweed is a signature of the Shop: patches of leftover tweed sewn up in an apparently whimsical yet cohesive fashion into cloth that reminds one of the palette of the New England landscape. Items, including this vest, made by the Andover Shop from such one-of-a-kind fabric are so rare and that they become highly sought-after collectibles.
