Welcome to part 6 of my blowout sale. Whittling down what I have left from years of stockpiling/collecting for a vintage store that never happened. While the big majority of what I had is gone now, I still have some decent items and some not so decent but, still cool items. I've tried to price everything right. Make me an offer on anything. There are multiple pics of everything, just can't fit them all so please check the links.
PayPal is preferred but, I will do Money Orders. Shipping will be via USPS based on weight of package and zip or country. Feel free to ask how much shipping will be.
Call "Dibs" for anything you want and then PM me. Please be sure you want it before calling dibs.

1st up is a pair of brown flannel Hollywood waist trousers. Slide front closure with Talon zipper, double pleats, fob pocket inside waistband and back pocket button flap. These are in really nice condition with the exception of a hole about 12 inches below the left, back pocket (see pic).
MEASUREMENTS: Waist is 34 inches (could be let out almost 4 inches, lots of material), outseam (from top of waistband to cuff bottom) is 42 1/2 inches (cuffs are 1 3/4" and there's about 1 5/8" of material turned under).
SOLD

Next is a pair of spring/summer off-white Hollywood waist trousers. Material is perhaps a linen/rayon blend. They have a slide front closure, Talon zipper, double pleats, fob pocket at top of waistband and decorative top stitch down pant leg side seams. There is a '49 union label in the back pocket. Being off-white, there are numerous feint spots and marks. A good soaking in Biz might brighten these up enough. I also thought perhaps dyed brown might be nice. On one leg, at the point where the trousers would drape over a hanger, there is a series of small holes (see pic). Couple areas on inside and outside leg seams where thread has come out, easy sewing machine fix.
MEASUREMENTS: Waist is 36 inches (could be let out 1 inch), outseam (from top of waistband to cuff bottom) is 41 inches (cuffs are 1 3/4" and there's about 2" of material turned under).
SOLD

Next is a 6 button vest, a more casual, almost sportswear type, in off white with royal blue and black small, windowpane pattern. It is nice condition. The back is an off white rayon and shows feint marks.
MEASUREMENTS: Chest 38 inches.

Next is a pair of gray serge Hollywood waist trousers. Slide front closure with Waldes zipper, double pleats and back pocket button flap. There is a subtle, decorative top stitch down the side seams. Condition is good with the exception of 2 holes in seat. One is 3/4" away from back seam, about 8" from top of waistband. If you were taking the waist in, this hole might disappear into the seam. The other is a small hole about 6 inches below back, left pocket.
MEASUREMENTS: Waist is 36 inches (could be let out 2 inches), outseam (from top of waistband to cuff bottom) is 41 3/4 inches (cuffs are 1 5/8" and there's about 1 3/8" of material turned under).

Next is a pair of brown striped trousers. They are double pleated with fob pocket, button front closure, Waldes zipper and back pocket button flap. What's cool about these is the legs are really wide. As you can see, the circumference at the bottom is about 21 inches. These were worn plenty but, plenty of wear left. No holes I could find. Front button hole needs reinforcing. Back pocket button flap was reinforced poorly and there is no button.
MEASUREMENTS: Waist is 35 inches (could be let out 2 inches), outseam (from top of waistband to cuff bottom) is 42 inches (cuffs are 1 3/4" and there's about 1 1/4" of material turned under).
SOLD

And lastly, a 1930's Hart Schaffner & Marx double breasted jacket. It has a 1936 union label. It is blue with a reddish-burgandy stripe. Condition is very good. It got the "fat boy treatment" at some point; somebody moved the buttons. Also looks like the sleeves were shortened a bit. Feels like there's about 2 inches of material turned under.
MEASUREMENTS: Chest (laid flat and measured pit to pit) is 40 inches, sleeve length (from top of shoulder seam to cuff bottom) is 23 1/2 (could let out about 1 1/2"), back length (from top of neck, straight down center seam to hem) is 30 1/4 inches.
Price $12

How much for shipping the jacket to Finland?

It looks nice, but somehow off?

I'm interested also in the flannel trousers.. cost of shipping only them and then both the jacket and trousers?

I call second dibs on the jacket if Sproily doesn't want it.

When you say the chest is 40 inches, I assume that's 20 inches on front and back...?

There's your answer in a nutshell, Sproily. The reason it looks "off" is because, at some point, a former owner was too big for the jacket ... so he moved the right-side buttons inward toward the center. This made the jacket fit larger, all right, but it also created an imbalance ... because the left-side buttons were not moved inward too. As a result, the right-side buttons are now very far away from the jacket's right hip pocket, while the left-side buttons remains at a normal distance from the left hip pocket.


There's a very easy solution to all this: just move the right-side buttons back to where they originally were. The fabric will still show signs of where those buttons were once sewn on, so no measuring is necessary ... just let your fingers feel for the tell-tale indentations. Of course, moving the buttons back will also reduce the jacket's size. Plan accordingly.
