Is this along the lines of the vintage Pendleton shirt I won on Ebay this morning only to have the seller contact me to tell me he'd found an unnoticed rip? He refunded me, my search continues...

Cross post with better pics from the vintage thread. I just found a hunting jacket from E. Tautz & Sons. It is handmade and very heavy. It appears to be dated 21/9/15! It is in excellent condition (Sorry, the photos aren't good.) Does anybody know of any resources to find the potential value of it?

I'm addicted to the vintage Pendleton Board Shirts myself.
Found 5 of them at a thrift shop this weekend, ended up putting 4 of them back.... Moths are as addicted to those Pendleton's as we are, I swear it usually takes 3-4 wool Pendleton's to find the 1 that has no holes. Luckily the one that was pristine fit me well...always gotta try them on in store because I lot of them are shrunken as well, so between moth holes and being shrunk to hell it makes for an interesting quest. I have 2-3 of them now that I have kept and I have sold a few. I actually just bought 3 more on ebay tonight for a really nice price and i had expiring Ebay bucks.

I do have a Board shirt in medium i'll be putting up on the bay in a few days I think, its in a huge pile in the guest room.

Incotex x2 that fit. I really like the tan/brown wool ones.

Assorted ties for myself.

My wife always wears my Mountain Hardwear Monkeyman fleece around the house because it's so warm and comfy, so I was excited when I found her one

Great haul! I would rock everything there if i had found em too. I really need to start looking into the pants section more.

They do answer in time...Picked up an R2 and a nano puff vest from the Patagonia sale a few weeks ago for the ski season but hadn't pulled the tags off of em yet. Went to my go to thrift a couple days ago and picked up a North Face fleece zip up that is the same color/fit/polartec weight as the R2 and a patagonia synthetic down vest (same color as the nano puff) both in my size and for less than the tax on the sale items...needless to say i'm heading back to make a couple returns to the patagonia store this weekend.

For those of you that live in 4 season climates, when do you guys start to see spring stuff on the racks? February? March? I ask because I've started to see more polos and shorts in the shops. All of the winter stuff is on clearance or disappearing, presumably until next year. All of the scarves are in €1 bins. My wife and I are longing for some sunshine and, as a result, I'm pushing my ebay stuff in order to pay for a vacation to America in the near future.

Side note, I have Friday off from work, so I might head to Vienna for an all day thrift adventure. What's that mean? Freezing for the day in and out of shops, buses, trams and subways. However, if anyone's interested, I'll snap some photos.
