Beautiful coat, BK, sorry I missed this auction. What makes you think it was older than listed?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Pretty much everything, but especially the labels, liner material, and lapel cut. They didn't do them quite like that in the 60s!

I can't believe that wasn't snapped up for £25.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Listed without specifying a date, man. Most people, like me, narrow results by date. have a look next time - the very largest date category is "not specified".

I really should spend more time searching for those items where the date is unspecified. It's just that i often lack the patience to trawl thought too many page of old tat.

Here're a couple more size 44 that ended yesterday. Both achieved the huge sum of £26 each. Both are from Jackson.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Oh yeah, you asked me about the "L" on the Jackson label on the cut down overcoat I got from Ben. Well, I'm now pretty sure that that "L" is a store code. Maybe London. Here're the labels from those two above. Maybe "G" = Glasgow or whatever, and LLRM I'm pretty sure must be somewhere in Wales, though there are a coupla Llan's in the North of Scotland …

Excellent. That's a really useful thing to know. It will be interesting trying to decode those.

I can't believe how cheap those other overcoats were. Some lucky people are getting real bargains at the moment.

Jinkies, those are all stunners... I really need to get my space cleared so i have room for new bits.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

don't wait til it gets cold. these will be going up in price soon!
