The Chipp Ready-Cut is designed with soft natural fronts, shoulders without padding and small lapels...all important details of the conservative styling for which we are well-known.

I've still got my fingers crossed that one of these days you'll find an ad for Huntington Clothiers. I'm pretty sure they ran in the New Yorker (and perhaps in the Smithsonian Magazine)in the early and mid-70s.
Somehow I own several Chipps's sack jackets and suits. How I miss Chipp!
I cannot stand the decline of Brooks Brothers. They are not what they used to be, or they should be.
Don't forget, Chipp still exists as Winston Tailors-MTM and bespoke only, and still the best!
Great advert. I love the phrasing: "Flannelyte" and "crunchy-silk." iotsuka is right about Brooks.
Agree-Brooks is a mere shadow of it's former self. Paul Winston has kept the faith.
