Finding Trojan Sportswear Company 1932

No Way this is a LW jacket or any scarce vintage IMO... Just a random mall jacket on which someone attached a Trojan label to add value

A fake label at that. This little Trojan soldier told a whopping lie.

Is this a LW Trojan? Its back looks like the last jacket in your photos. Its front looks different, and the leather appears too new to be vintage.

No, not a Lost Worlds. Not sure what it is, but all I can say is that it’s a pretty cheap copy.

This is not the first time we have seen a fake Trojan label on a cheap jacket. It is surprising to me that someone is copying the label of a relatively obscure maker rather than going straight for the Buco money.

I thought same. More recognizable and a much easier label to fake, or find. The profile of the lil’ Spartan kills me on this one.

That is quite a jacket! They put some work into these jackets. Just amazing.

I've got to post my Trojan, it has the same lining.

Here are some screen shots from the 1948 Film Noir, The Street with No Name. It is an excellent movie on youtube. It has the shots of the Trojan store, Factory to you.

They really are amazing jackets. Yes, please post more of yours

Here is my Trojan. Zipper has been changed. It also needs some stitching on the shoulder. The interior is so nice. It is Big too probably at least a 44

I find old Advertising to be so interesting. I see more of these post recently and I like it. Thanks

I like to see a Trojan jacket with fringe.

Don’t think I ever posted this. First time I’ve ever seen this label. This is towards the end of their run before they disappeared.

Thats in great shape, probably late 50's based on their advertising for imported goat. One of the ads I posted above was 1957 or so.

You posting that ad made me remember this jacket. It was on eBay. Too big for me but I sent it to my friend in Japan and he now owns this jacket (unless he sold it). It was always said that Trojan disappeared sometime in the late 50’s so that ad being from 1957 makes sense.
