    A stinky old Mallory

    I found a brown Mallorry "Sportabout Cravenette" back in September in the Halloween costume bin at the local goodwill store. Brown and the softest fur felt hat I've ever had my hands on. You just sort of rebash it to what ever style you want every time you put it on. A bit small, but close...

    I hit the vintage tie jackpot yesterday!

    Please post any opinions or comments, they are most welcome. I believe these first ones are from the 30's. They are 46" long and 3 1/4" wide. Kind of a mercurised cotton feel to them. Unlabeled. I ought to add that many of these ties still had cardboard inside of them and are in minty condition.

    Suit critique #2 please?

    You guys all had so much fun with # 1 we'll try another. This one is in linen from mycustomtailor.com. The pull at the button is from my belt buckle ( really:rolleyes: ) I havn't got suspender buttons sewn in yet. I tried it with clip on (*gasp*) suspenders and the pull goes away. I gave them...

    Lets talk about WWII Brit plimsoles

    I just came across these on a site that does all kinds of repros. Can anybody give me any info on these as they were used in the WWII Brit army? I really don't know what to make of these, but they're quirky enough I think I might have to have a pair!

    Check out my new clod hoppers!

    I missed the auction on these , but contacted the seller and bought them anyway. They just came today. Boy are these cool boots! About a 1/2 size too big, but a pair of Dr, Scholl's insoles fixed that right up. SUPER thick soles and leather heals. SUPER fine leather shoe laces and tiny eyelets...

    An interesting thrift store suit

    I came across a gaberdine DB suit in navy blue yesterday. Oldish, in my novice opinion a 30's or 40's suit. Waaayyyy high arm holes. Pants have dropped belt loops and a Talon zipper. It's prbably a 40 or smaller. It seems the waist on the pants was a 32 with a 27 inseam. The jacket was way too...

    1964 dated suit for sale or trade

    The jacket fits me great, I wear a 44R. The pants have a 39" waist, and 29" inseam. The color in the pics is pretty accurate, although the plaid stripes aren't blue, they're black. The last cleaner's tags are still in the jacket and pants, the creases are still sharp. The suit is in great...

    Hey, check out the Rosster's new old suit!

    I'm not sure how old it is, but it doesn't fit like a modern suit! The jacket and pants are kind of a checked brown wool with a red stripe running thru. High arm holes!:eusa_clap Boy does that feel GREAT! Has the old Union label and the brand is "Clipper craft" tailored for Peterson Harned...

    Stetson open road "almost"

    Got this off the bay for $10:D [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] I'd swear it's an open roads, but it's marked "Western Royal". Same thing only different? 2 1/2" brim. It's a wee bit big on me, but I'll stuff the hat band a bit and it should be fine. It's gonna need a cleaning...

    Another nifty find for the day

    I've been looking for a sport coat with the leather gunpad and elbow pads and found it today. This ones got the big ol' patch pockets too. Big lapels and leather covered buttons. Beats me how old it is , any guesses? I'll certainly look dapper shooting skeet in this thing.:D [/IMG] [/IMG]
