    Avirex A-2 goatskin dating help

    from my little bit of research, these are not “serious” jackets though the earlier ones are favored higher than the mall variety. I found this today at a vintage mall, it was priced right, fits nice, made in USA and of goatskin. It has an EMAR labeled zipper and scovill snaps if that helps...

    Age range of this Bailey?

    I stumbled upon this Bailey hat online and it called to me enough to take a chance. It's well-loved, dirty, and has some small stains, which are features, not bugs, as far as I'm concerned. It was $25, as well, which was also a feature. It's a bit big, but some foam fixed that. Does anyone know...

    Dating a vintage jacket: Anyone familiar with Custom coat company deerskin?

    Hey guys, picked up this rather charming jacket (possibly to sell). I am pretty good at dating vintage items, but leather isn't my forte. The general vibe is 60s hippie. But the collar isn't big a la 70s, and the buttons and label look 50s, in that 'Californian sportswear' kind of way. Is early...
