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 Hudson Bay Blanket Coat
I love hudson bay blanket jackets. I wear a ’40s peak lapel one regularly, I’ve had a ’50s duffle coat styled one, and a ’70s belted model. This is the oldest I’ve laid my hands on, but sadly, also the most tattered.
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.
Lee Leisure fedora hat
Blue fur felt with decorative spiral stitching, rope trim, welted brim edge, thin leather sweatband, silkscreened crown with sporting scenes.
1920s Vogue Tuxedo
Here’s an unusual piece: a 1920s Tuxedo, with Jazz Suit styling. It has a square cut bottom, extremely high closure, cuffed sleeves and satin lapels. Great typeface on the label, too.
1948 French Canvas duster
This French Canvas coat is dated 1948. While it is only a size 2, it is roughly tent-sized. The extremely long belt allows it to be cinched down to more-or-less any size.
1940s Drexel Beanie
This vintage beanie is from Drexel Insitute of Technology and probably dates from the 1940s. It has a cheap leather sweatband and cheap construction.
1930s Royal Stetson Homburg Stork Club
This Royal Stetson homburg was made in the 1930s and has all those great deep ’30s imprints in the sweatband leather. It also bears a rare period sticker from New York’s famous “Stork Club”
Kingsridge 1940s suit
The trousers of suits always wear out first. They take the brunt of the wear- that’s why some used to come with two pairs. This former three piece suit from the ’40s became a two piece for that very reason.
