Vintage 1930s BELLBOY Bellhop Mess Gaberdine Sanforized Jacket Hotel Claymore

Description

Incredible Sanforized bellman/bellhop jacket from the famous Hotel Claypool in Indianapolis, Indiana. This jacket is made by Marcus Ruben Chicago. The seams are folded over and the material is very sturdy. Hotel Claypool is embroidered on the front in blue. The buttons are fantastic, one featuring the letter "C" and the other a stag surrounded by leaves. There are two inside pockets.
'Of all the hotels in Indianapolis, the Claypool Hotel was our superstar for decades. It was the place to go for club or company banquets, pre-wedding dinners or anniversary parties, and after the 1903 debut, it was the only place to stay if you were a visiting celebrity.' Taken from historic Indianapolis website.

condition: ok so we have a few things going on here, first of all the jacket has been repaired in several places where there were holes. There was and still is a bit of rust around one of the buttons, I got most but not all of it out. There is some light brown staining on the back of one sleeve and the back upper corner. One hole inside on back side of the lower button.
