Chippewa hunting jacket

This vintage jacket was made in the 1930s by the Chippewa Woolen Mills of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin from 100% wool. The red and black plaid wool is more of a shirt jacket weight rather than the more common super heavy mackinaw wool you generally see in this cut. This one’s perfect for layering. It has patch pockets, a plain back, is unlined, and has an interesting Talon zipper, with a sunburst slider and stopbox, placing the date around 1937-38.

Chest (pit to pit): 24-1/2″ (doubled = 49″)

Shoulder to shoulder: 19″

Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25″

Length (base of collar to hem): 26″

Reindeer fur boots

These vintage boots are European, made in the 1930s-1940s. I was sold they were reindeer fur when I bought them, and the look consistent with that to me. They have pegged leather soles and rubber covered heels. The square toe looks like ski boots of the period, but they do not have the grooved heel sides that I generally associate with that style. The sole measures 12-1/2″ long and 4-7/16″ wide.
