This morning I wore my silverbelly 3X OR that happens to be from an old clothing store from this area. I can't find any good info on the store though. Also, supporting the Ducks this morning, cant wait for the CFP.

Nice 3X! Good luck in the CFP! My team got in somehow...until Oklahoma beats us in the first round. At least the Ducks have a fairly smooth path to quarter finals.

Echter Borsilino "Qualità Superiore", possibly mid to later 1930s. Unfortunately the Borsalino Paper Label is missing but the separate Size Stamp is present. The Felt Finish is similar to Velour Soleil so shows a high amount of gloss and is very pliable so easily dry creases. There is a mix of colors so a Melange. I found this Soft Felt back in 2021.

Oh, snap!!!! Gorgeous, Simeon! Chicago Clothing operated from at LEAST 1925 TO 1960, at 1 E Yakima Avenue. It appears to have been originally owned by Sidney and Charles Neumann, and eventually managed by Albia J Egley. Beyond that, I've got zip!

Awesome, thanks Mark, I ran into dead ends when trying to search before, admittedly not too hard though.

Thank you, Mark. I’m happy to have this old Carhartt too.
I like the hat and carhartt combo too. Is that a blanket lined chore coat, Mr. Greg? I've been telling myself to get one of those for nearly 30 years. Two classic American icons worn together hand in hand, like they's made for each other. I love my old Carhartt but it's a bit heavy for some our milder winters down South. I'm gonna have to round me up a second hand chore coat for them "not so cold" winter days.
