brown beach jacket company -worcester ma

Just found a few examples from this old (1901-?) Worcester, MA manufacturer. Brown's Beach Jacket Co. Heavy wool fabric with herringbone weave. Vests and jackets and gloves. Snaps up front (not gloves obv') with a fleece like interior. Hells expensive most of it now... Can't find much more info on them though. Back burner... Great ad here from a 1967 Popular Mechanics.

Both the vests and jackets were produced at Jacob Finkelstein and Sons at 128 Singleton Street in Woonsocket Rhode Island.
