Hello, this is my first post in the jacket forum. I'm a n00b about jackets, but I know what I like. I came across this photo recently and just loved the jacket this railroad worker is wearing. Wanted to know if there is anyone making this exact style. When I saw this it reminded me of what Marlon Brando was wearing in On the Waterfront. The Buffalo checked work jacket, http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=3208 except this one has no knits at the waist or sleeves. Which works for me as I'm a bit portly and waisted jackets look bad on me. I also like the slash pockets on this much better than the flaps. close up pic: I think this jacket is so cool. I like it so much I'm sure I'd pay more than I should for it ;-) cheers!
It's likely a wool half-belt. Not sure who makes one right now. https://vintagehaberdashers.com/2015/05/26/cushman-japan-reproduction-wool-half-belt-jacket/
Runabout Goods released a nice looking one a few weeks ago, http://www.runaboutgoods.com/outerwear/starborn-tan-canvas-wt7h4 Labour Union make a couple of versions, https://labourunion-1986.com/product-category/outerwear/ RRL seem to have something in this style most seasons too.
Greetings and welcome to the Lounge! Not exactly like the photo, but Filson makes a really nice mackinaw wool coat/jacket.
I picked up one just like this on Ebay. Green/black buffalo plaid. Funny thing I bought it out of Philly, it is a vintage Pioneer Brand made in Canada in pristine condition....The jacket is more well travelled than I am! What size are you?
Fashion always comes back around is no joke. Yet, I'm still surprised by this comeback of buffalo plaid. I love it. Always have. I don't know what it is about the pattern that I thought it would be immune to this adage. Love to see all these photos. Thanks for sharing, everyone.
Great to see this Wool jackets! I owned this one from Labor Union. I bought it and sold it here. It was marked as a XL, but had a chest of 21 inches! I owned a similar Real McCoys which did not fit. The Labor Union was nice, but not the quality of the McCoy. Still it was nice. Labor Union Jacket pics. I have not been to their website and was floored to see the jackets posted above. I had no idea about the Runabout! That posted jacket is sold out in my size, Large. I will keep my eye on these websites. Thanks to folks who posted those sites. I've got one I will do a thread on today.
There is a brand called Cootie https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/stock-lab/item/1-249998049586/ http://www.jb-voice.co.jp/mp/2009/11/13/2968/ http://fixer-web.com/3728.html
