Thanks a lot fellows. Good information. I haven't had nor seen any of those old vintage garments, but if they are nicer, as you say, than this one they must be quite fine. I know I'm very fond of this one and plan on enjoying it for the rest of the trip.
Cheers.
Spoon, thanks very much for the reply. I appreciate it. Yes, the numbers are identical.
Given the condition of the coat, the 2001 description makes good sense. What impresses me so much about this garment is how well made it is. It has the over-all quality one would expect from a top notch...
Hey all.
I've just found a quite nice pea coat which I looked long and hard for and wondered if any of you could help with id etc.
I bought it online from back east in Canada but the owner knew little about it, and I'd like to know if it's Canadian or US and if it's approximate date can be...
Can't post a pic because I'm too computer illiterate, but I just picked up a Husqvarna Model 46 in 9.3x57. Just over 7 pounds, 24" barrel, minty metalwork, 15"lop, xlnt wood, not d&t'd, made 1934. A true African medium game Mauser. Nothing made today can compare for the quality, svelt lines and...
That's a really great list. I own 15 of the items listed and have given other examples of most of them as gifts over the years and will do so again. Nice to see not everybody on the planet has been seduced by the latest "next best thing."
I especially like the sentiment eschewing plastic. It's...
Would like to buy or trade for a size 71/8 eight-panel medium-full cap in brown, blue or green tweed wool, with lining, heavier fabric the better.
Also need the above cap in fairly stiff canvas or linen, in kahki.
Pls. pm me if you have anything like that you're willing to let go.
Cheers.
Ever have a question that you can't put into words?
I have about half a dozen shoulder bags of various sized and styles and quite a few rucksacks and day packs, etc.
I really like shoulder bags for their convenience and get-at-ability.
Trouble is, they always seem too small or too big...
I've used a pint-sized stainless steel hip flask for many years to carry water in when out for a short hike in the non-winter seasons. I keep several litres of water in the truck in various containers, but for short walks, the hip flask can't be beaten for unobtrusive, compact and light carry in...
Did some more snooping around the 'net and apparently they are widely and simply known as 'Australian Work Boots.' Guess I'll go with that for now. Whatever you call them, they're the best footwear going when anything other than moccasins or sandals are called for.
Thanks for the heads up on the Ozzie/Aussie - I actually know better but sometimes I'm brain dead.
I've not owned any brands of these other than than the Blunnies, mine made in Tasmania, and they are going strong after many miles and about 9 years.
Definitely won't buy them again though, as...
Thanks, Gents.
Boss cockies?
And do you know how long they've been around, and also, do you wear spurs with them, and if so, down on the heel or up high?
Thanks mucho.
