I posted this in the Vintage Workwear section, but for those who hang around the Outerwear section, I'll put it here too, if that is OK.

Roebuck's stuff has never been sold in the UK, so these things are pretty scarce over here.

Two nice zipped pockets, and a nice tapered fit

Blimey, it looks virtually unworn! I cinched the waist straps on my one to their furthest setting, looks great.

Yes. Considering the thing is probably getting on for 50 years old, it is remarkably pristine!

I bought a Roebucks denim chore coat some time back, that looked to be unworn. It is much like this one. I'm guessing by the label though this is much older. I haven't pampered it and used it for what it was made for. Has good "character" now.

Any chance of a pic of your Roebucks? There aren't many of these over here! Does yours have the zipper front?

Just a straight buttoned one, those zippered ones are a b*gger to find, but it was nice find a jacket that looks a bit different. I'll take some snaps later and stick them up.
