Another pair of John McHale captoes, this time with Cats Paw Heels instead of leather suicide heels.
And a family portrait of two pairs together.

Woods “Canada Goose” Mackinaw
This Woods Canada “goose brand” shawl collar sheepskin lined canvas mackinaw has seen a lot of use, and has aged nicely.
1940s tweed overcoat
The tags are long gone, so no definite identification. But what a tweed! The boldest!
Shawl Collar Mackinaw
Another shawl collar mackinaw. Dark canvas shell, shearling lining, rust colored mouton collar, blanket lined sleeves.
1943 Double Breasted Suit Jacket
This double breasted pinstripe jacket was made at the height of WWII. It has, unfortunately, lost its trousers.
1930s sheepskin shawl collar mackinaw
This 1930s sheepskin shawl collar mackinaw is a rare, large size- 48. It has a sheepskin lining and collar, with blanket lined sleeves, and a cotton shell.
1930s Edwardson Black and White spectator Wingtip Shoes
These two tone black and white spectator wingtip shoes were made in the 1930s. Metal toe and heel taps to prevent against wear. Made by Edwardson Shoes for Men.
1930s Pilgrim Carlsbad cowboy hat
This Pilgrim Carlsbad was available mail-order throughout the 1930s and 1940s. With the quality of the trimmings on this one, I’d say it’s probably from the 1930s. It’s a big, curled brim cowboy hat, tom mix creased. And wool felt- this was a budget hat- a working man’s hat.
Vintage BSA hat
This old Boy Scouts scoutmaster hat has shrunk up to almost nothing. That’s just what wool felt does when it gets wet, and why, if you can, you should buy fur felt. But what a band. Hand tooled (wonder if someone got a merit badge for that?) with a roller buckle.
Without the sweatband, it’s pretty much impossible to date the hat itself, other than to say “old”.
Lee Leisure fedora hat
Blue fur felt with decorative spiral stitching, rope trim, welted brim edge, thin leather sweatband, silkscreened crown with sporting scenes.
