Honestly when I see those two-button jacket cuffs with the wide space I immediately think of ****** late 80s Sears jackets from the thrift store in strange patterns and synthetic fabrics.
Picked up my Shetland tweed trews.
any chance of pics in WAYWT?
Keep in mind guys, I'm not talking about midcentury gives-Engineered-Garments-fans-a-woody Sears, I'm talking about 1989 Sears.
And by woody, he isn't talk about the old wagons, either.
My fiancee has a few vintage Sears catalogs from late 40s, 50s and early 60s and that is some seriously great gear in there. Love how the catalog was like a phone book in thickness
Quite seriously, Browne did cite the Sears catalog as one of his inspirations.
The catalog also entered the language, particularly of rural dwellers, as a euphemism for toilet paper. In the days of outhouses and no readily available toilet paper, the pages of the mass-mailed catalog were used as toilet paper.
The two button spaced cuff is simply the old Brooks/J Press/Southwick et al Trad standard. It's nothing groundbreaking.
Sure. I'll try to hit it tonight.
