Thank you, Double 0! I will take a look at eBay's bounty now.

Here's another Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren piece. It's a new old stock (still pinned) Chambray Shirt with neat Western detailing on the cuff. I've never seen this particular label.

That shirt is KILLER, especially the cuff detail.

I've never found out too much info about it, but I feel like it was started in the late 70s or early 80s and existed for less than a decade. Polo Western and Polo Country seem to be sub-brands of Ralph that were pre-cursors to RRL (the embroidery on the cuff isn't too far off of modern RRL)

It's been a bit since there's been a post in here. I've got a couple items to toss on here. First is a nice vintage Woolrich Black/Red jacket. I happened to come across this last night in my size and I was pretty stoked. I've been wanting to find something in this style for a bit and this definitely fits the bill. Based on my research the tag indicates a late 60's date for this. The zipper is also large and hefty with the word "Ideal" on it that screams vintage. It's in pretty awesome shape too.





Next is a vintage Brooks Brothers jacket. I've had this forever but I'm just now getting to posting it. The label inside says 1968 I believe. I've searched the name and haven't come up with much, I assume it wasn't anyone crazy famous or anything. It's very cool though, unlined with patch pockets.

Looks like 65 or even 60 to me. Nice finds! Whatever the date on that BB, it shows how traditionalist BB was - that lining style was common up through the early 50s, but by the late 50s almost everyone had gone to a half lining in the back.

 

[Alex Hayes]

Looking at the other numbers I think 65 is definitely a possibility!I definitely see what you're saying. The beauty of traditional looks us they generally don't go out of style in my opinion. I think this jacket could look great now and in the future!

Here's a stellar overcoat, even amongst so many vintage choices. It's dated 1960 and woven of true Donegal tweed!

Very nice coat above! I'm going to keep this thread going because I love seeing the vintage stuff.

I recently found this hat that I thought was pretty awesome. Can't find much information online other than a couple other listings/pictures. I'd guess it's from the 40's or 50's. It's a very small size. I'm not sure if it's a Woolrich made hat or made by another company with Woolrich fabric. If anyone knows anything I'd be interested to hear it!

this dates from 1949-1962, correct? Cashmere overcoat

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[Orgetorix]

Yep.

This one isn't that vintage... but it's one of the cooler Hickey Freeman pieces that I've come across. Mother-of-pearl buttons, patch pockets, and a BOLD plaid make this something special. 44 XL.

Found these awesome vintage Dexter Shearling boots. They are in great shape and appear to be quite old. I love the DEX on the soles. Unfortunately not my size.

Found this a few weeks ago and finally got around to taking some pictures. Custom piece made in Minneapolis in 1911 for a local judge.

 

[SpooPoker]

long overdue bump to this thread.

Would anyone be able to point me to any more info on these boots I found today?
Super tough leather, the interior seems to be lined in pigskin. Sizing is on the outside, kind of like Common Projects, which is odd. Says 27 1/2 too.

Hi, I'm a college student working on a research project involving vintage clothing and, more specifically, workwear. It would be of great help to me if I could interview anyone involved with this thread or the general interest. Please, message me or reply asap if interested, thanks!
