As nearly half of the items I've listed on ebay in the past 2 weeks have gone to Loungers, I decided to give first crack on these to you guys. If they're not purchased by Thursday, July 31, I'm putting them up on ebay. These are the auction listings that I've already prepared. I've got three items at the moment and will put each in its own thread. Here we go:
Starting price for this auction will be $10 with a buy-it-now of $25.
FOR PURPOSES OF THIS POST, LOUNGE PRICE IS $20 (plus shipping, as detailed below).
This auction is for a new old stock (vintage, never used) TWA uniform Jacket.
The jacket features a single breasted, 2 button, notch lapel style with a working ticket pocket, TWA chest and cuff buttons, and red stripes around the cuffs. There are two inside pockets, the right one with a button closure. In that right inside pocket are 2 tags, one Thorngate Uniforms, Inc. tag and one AFL/CIO union tag. On the left inside pocket is a tag indicating that the jacket was designed by Ralph Lauren for Thorngate Uniforms, which is a subsidiary of Hart, Schaffner & Marx. That’s right, RL and HS&M on the same jacket. That’s like trying to find an Armani/Prada - you’re just not going to see it. There are two tags on the left sleeve, one indicating the 44L size, and the other showing the size, Thorngate, the order date of 2/24/78, and the employee to whom the jacket was destined. Why didn’t he get his jacket? We’ll never know. You can get try to get it... you can:
Catch it if you can. (Sorry, I know it's cheesy.)
Payment is by Paypal only and is due within 48 hours of the close of the auction.
Actual shipping will be charged to Loungers. I hedge my bets on ebay such that I sometimes lose a bit, but sometimes come out ahead.
This is a vintage item and there are NO RETURNS.
Please review the description and photos and email [pm] me with any questions.
I can provide larger photo files to anyone who requests them.
