Warren K Cook Tweed Jacket

Apologies if this is the wrong location or type of post, but I have a couple of WKC suits and a couple of Coppley ones about to go to Amity, it seems a shame since they are virtually new. Any ideas on better uses? Museum donation perhaps? Vintage dealers? Please help, I just hate to see 100% Canadian made high end like new suits turned into rags for halloween or worse yet, couch stuffing !! Thanks.

 

Hi there, I am new to the forum and am delighted to find a community that may have some insight on my find. It is an absolutely mint tweed blazer by Warren Cook. It looks as if it was never worn and has no fading whatsoever. Even better is the fact that it fits me as it was tailored for me.

 

Warren K Cook was a high end men’s suit custom and some in rack. My dad worked there from the time he was 16 in 1950 and was the clothes designer there for many years. I knew a lot of the staff there and grew up in the Cook employee family. They made suits for Pierre Trudeau along with many others and designed and made the first Blue Jay dress suits. My dad also cut the first Roots jackets as a side job lol. I have some of his suits still in the closet although he has passed.
