got this recently for $20 with no buttons, which made me think military origin because why else remove em?
anyway luckily i have a few buttons up my sleeve…:
I've been selling vintage clothes at local markets for over 40 years so I've seen trends come and go, but what's really interesting is the utter lack of interest in classic hats since the plague...dunno why, but not only have I not sold one this year, but no-one tries em on anymore, no gaggle of...
scored this recently, very good order, except the zip which I'm waiting on from their NOS, but what is it? it's not a Lightning, and I can't find a similar design on their site...I date it mid-70's....
very old borsalino in quite good order came my way, it's too small for me, but i can't sell it at the markets because your average person knows not the name and doesn't have vintage kids...anyone have any suggestions? I've done swaps on here in the past
Found this woollen khaki item with a strange placket i've never encountered before. the label's date is faded but the maker is CR Ltd...
it fits me too....!
I was watching a doco on the famous RM Williams on tv the other night , and this old 40's (?) promo for the company had a truck delivering a catalogue to a drover in the outback....the look interested me: this is how Australian 'cowboys' or stockmen as we call them dressed back then...check the...

Picked this up, looks genuine, but it has no Lee label on front pocket, a bit of research reveals that J.CREW re-released a version of this with a lower waist, but it has their logo on the inside..this doesn't, a 2nd perhaps..anyway looks good/fits nice...
Forgive me if this has been up before, i just saw it

I bought this today, being told it was taken from a crashed Zero in the New Guinea campaign, but closer inspection reveals an English maker LEDUX, now I'm assuming the IJAAF might have been up to providing their own flight gear so i'm thinking it might be Pre-WW2 or even maybe WW1, any experts...
My 20 yr-old nephew is going to the UK via Turkey Italy etc in December, so naturally the subject of winter wear has come up, he has a Burberry trench I gave him, and as a military greatcoat would be too heavy to take on the Sri Lankan leg of his trip I advised that the Burb would probably do...
Just got this, and it's a bit different: there is a green selvedge both sides of the placket ( never seen that before) and there is no W on the pockets, and while every Wrangler jacket I've ever seen has a straight yoke, this has the western style yoke...there is no label remaining but I know...
