I've had my eye on some Moscot's for a bit now. The "Vilda" and "Lemtosh" models look pretty cool. They come in some nice color combinations and you can get the vintage green sunglasses lenses in them too.

My roommate ordered these and they seem to be pretty good I'm not sure how they'll hold up but they seem to be doing pretty well right now.

if only someone still made these green skier socks!

Yeah, it was just weird to see the other items were fairly cheaply made while the newsboy jacket seemed a big step above the others. I guess I was expecting more consistency in the line.

I just found this at the thrift store and am wondering about its age/purpose. I'm thinking early 1950s? Some sort of service station coat or maybe even an old police jacket?

I went to Penny's tonight to check out this jacket. It definitely lived up to my expectations and i bought one. It was on sale for $100 as opposed to the original $200 price. I also checked out the other jackets in the American Living series like the Officers jacket but it seemed really cheap...

I just found this tie/sock set at the thrift store today that reminded me of this thread. I only paid a few cents more than the original price too!:

Makes sense. Your mom did an excellent job! The craft is very nice on this particular jacket. Enough for me to think it was professionally made!

I've had this wool shirt-jac forever and love it, but I'm not too sure on the date and manufacturer as there is no tag. I'm guessing 1930s or 40s? I've never seen another plaid pattern like this one. Its wool with snap-closure front pockets and some sort of lining on the inside where the tag...

Here's my telecaster project: I added the Bigsby. I also ordered a tooled leather pickguard but it never came :( Other guitars to follow...

I'm guessing the bars were just Elvis' way of decorating his jacket. Brando had those star pins in The Wild One and Elvis was definitely influenced by the film.

Thanks and go right ahead! I'm hoping to add to it every day, time permitting.

Hey everyone. I have been collecting vintage everything for as long as I can remember. I have everything from old magazines and books to furniture, clothing, records etc, just like most people here I'm sure. I'm very interested in the everyday life of people back then. Just the normal things...
