    Vintage Workwear

    **You nailed it. It's quite likely it went to a Japanese collector/repro clothing company owner who will use it as a template for a "new" item or to hang as a trophy piece on the office wall.

    30s 40s Inspired Jacket Wool w/ Horsehide

    It should be here any day now. I would have preferred a dark forest green or navy blue, but I think I got it at a good price considering he's going to eventually sell them for $700. Diamond Dave sent me a pic of the original ad of the jkt this one was based on (hope he doesn't mind me sharing it...

    Levi's Unveils the World's Oldest Pair of Jeans at Fall 2011 Fashion Preview

    Casuals By Campus Gaucho Pricing?

    The vintage 50s clothing market is weak now, so prices are down, but your estimate is about right (I'd say $150-$300)...all depends who is willing to pay what!
