Been a while since I've seen this particular English maker. Nice pair:

And then this is a pretty substantial pop for me:

Anyone know the approximate age? It's seen some heavy use and there's a side panel that's been replaced. Will need a lot of cleaning and conditioning to get the leather supple again.

agreed. late 70's/early 80s. i might be wrong, but Excelled is decent stuff, but a solid notch below Schott.

my favorite ethrift of probably the last five years -

ssl - i picked up an amazing Schott B3 on craigslist in 2015/16 and it was tragically a size too large for me, ended up selling it to pay rent. so when after almost a decade of trawling recent listings for ‘vintage military jacket’ this popped up last week at ~$75 shipped and i couldn’t smash the buy button fast enough.

doesn’t have quite the jeux ne se quoi as the schott or raf models but otherwise my platonic ideal, miusa in the ~80s, superb condition and built like a brick house.

Seriously! Is that tobacco linen?

A few recent pickups from this week.

Funky PRL rugby/hoodie thingy



Leather-bound first edition, fireplace, pipe tobacco vibes here.




I have boxes of wool/cashmere scarves and certainly don’t need any more but I’m powerless to not buy them. Leave no Pendleton behind.

Seriously! Is that tobacco linen?

Sure is! Perfect summer suit

 

[wcl]

A couple more RT bows and a super clean air-mez. Probably late 80s.

Late 70s/early 80s JAB 3/2 sack in great shape.

A pile of fairly recent suits and coats. HF Beacons, Sammys and BB.

Came across a huge lot of Criterion Collection and grabbed two of my faves.

CAR Squier for $35.

Funny story about this tie. I swung by a Goodwill and didn't see any ties, so I asked the employee if they had any. She responded with "I think we only have one tie, behind the scarves." Didn't have my hopes up, but that one tie ended up being this beautiful Charvet, hidden beneath a bunch of cheap scarves.

Bay Area trip was unfortunately packed, so I only managed to stop by two thrifts. Didn't find much in all the rush, but I left with my first big H.

Not a tie, but I'll take it.

I said to miss purp this morning that I really want to find a North Face backpack. Lo and behold, walk into the store and find this sitting on top of a new bin.

Not exactly the colour I want, but I’ll take it.

Holy crap…what a find. Those are AWESOME! Congrats!

 

[Drzdave58]

Anybody heard of this brand? It's butter soft suede.

 

[eazye]

Wow! Thats one thats still on my bucket list @impuntura . Amazing!

@Drzdave58 no, but I'd probably pick it up for personal if the quality was there, which it looks like it is? Suede/leather shirt jackets are hard to pull off but that one is pretty cool!
