happy warm weather, friends ...
sitting here with twenty five tabs open trying to get a bead on somewhere to grab a pair of trousers of the sort mick is rocking here ... cotten right? wide/straight leg, pleated and cuffed ... i love this look ... i got the shirt, i got the <shoes>, i got the...
Hi Friends,
Unfortunately no matter how many times I put this beautiful Sportclad on, it remains too large. Weird ; ) This was my very first foray into half-belts and even too large I really dig wearing this guy. I'm hoping a fellow member that's looking for such a 44 might have a comparable...
Howdy Friends,
Main zip on this Bates is done (all zips are Serval btw) and liner, while I bet I could mend where it's opened up, is pretty stinky. Therefore I'm considering replacing main zip and liner. No one I've reached out to about repairs stocks NOS zips this size/vintage or satin in this...
Evening friends,
Paying It Forward ..
I'm offering here for no charge other than shipping this beautiful 90s 6 7/8, distressed, (Denver made) O'Farrell western.
Hat was grossly mis-measured .. Grrr .. hence me moving it along.
Hat is small but could be re-blocked larger. There's plenty of...
... And now for something completely different ..
Brand spanking new, 15 lbs of Vanson competition weight leather. The way I understand it, jacket was created for and is actually a close copy of the classic Providence RI PDs long winter coat not really a Luftwaffe officer's. Typically a $1,449...
ok .. what is this think? sears/oakbrook?
hope everyone's weathering storm and thanks,
mike
btw if you wanna see how bad storms can get i highly recommend Eggers'
The Lighthouse.
howdy everyone,
i've poked around and can't get specific ... seems to be a police issue jacket no? i'm thinking something from NYC area judging by the "honda of mineola" patch.
thanks!
mike
I'd read on TFL about these being a good choice for brushing felt hats. Well I just received one and I'm surprised how stiff bristles are! Similar to a scrub brush .. Is it safe to use on a felt hat?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Friends,
Offering here what I thought was going to be a forever jacket, my LW J-24 size 44. Letting this one go really hurts. I've had since new and jacket has been out of the house less than five times and it shows. It suffers from the almost ubiquitous LW torn tape on main zip. Only tape...
howdy friends,
definitely out of my depth here ... a friend sent me these pictures and wondering if there's anyway to determine vintage or maker of this G1 (?) w/o tags?
thanks!
mike
hi friends,
i'm not sure my terminology is correct here but i have an old bates CR ... it's clearly been owned by righties it's whole life as the creasing at the right underarm is very very fine. while leather overall isn't a bit stiff, it's actually freely pliable, if you run your fingers over...
hi friends,
i wonder who made this?
label missing .. previous owner told me he ordered it out of a webco catalog in late 60s.
interesting back huh?
thanks y'all,
mike
happy spring, friends,
approximately what year would a gold label Brooks j100 esque CR w/ round chest pocket zipper pulls, be from? only pics i've found have teardrop shaped talon pulls.
thanks!
mike
I've got this old cross zip here (50s) that's in need of a buckle (1 1/2" belt).
What exactly am I looking for that'd be period-correct as far as metal etc?
It's a little overwhelming searching "1.5" motorcycle belt buckle" ; )
Thanks,
Mike
howdy friends,
was sent these pics ... this is all i have at the moment. i'm thinking label reads "genuine steerhide" .. with manufacturers label missing? conmar pulls. looks like a harley but i don't recognize jacket's back. (belt loops removed?)
waddya think?
mike
