I think the guys in the photo would get a real chuckle out of companies and consumers obsessed with replicating vintage 1930-1950 workwear.

Don't think any of those guys were trying to make a fashion statement. All about function. Thanks for sharing Dinerman.

Absolutely love the "collared vest and half-belt" photo. I want the hat and the P-3's.

Great photo, the guy in the grizzly reminds me of Spencer Tracy.

Great photo. But I can't stop thinking they're about to break out into "Jailhouse Rock".

Great picture. Thanks for sharing. I like all wool jackets from waist length to mackinaw coat. Cool stuff.

I like the shawl collar and the heavy wool waist-length. Thanks for the images, Dinerman.
