Gray Christy’s Fedora
Like the “Woodrow” model posted previously, this Christy’s fedora is a wool felt, but has surprisingly nice trimings.
Sold in 2010.
Style Club Stingy Brim.
Stingy Brim hats don’t get much stingier than this example, originally sold by Victor’s Haberdashers in the Bronx.
Hydro Duck Canvas Coat
I sold this to a friend of mine at school.
Blaze orange canvas, reversible to hunting plaid. Clix zips on the game pouch and sleeve pocket. Leather reinforcement on the pockets. Made by Weather Chief. Supposedly water proof/resistant. I put that to the test by wearing it in light rain and found it to be patently false. Canadian Wildlife Federation patch, and some nice fade to the canvas.
Hunting Cap 2
This one has a pom pom on top. Buffalo plaid, nylon lining, furry earflaps.
Woolrich hunting Cap
Sold 2011.
Woolrich hunting cap. 80% wool. 20% who knows what?
This one saw a lot of hunting and has the stains and wear to show.
The Richmond fedora
Made in England from 100% Wool Felt by Christy’s London.
Surprisingly nice trimming and construction for a wool felt body.
Sold in 2010.
G.A. Dunn green fedora
This one is long since sold, but is an unusual example. You don’t see too many green felts, to begin with. This one has delicate ventilation holes, a light colored sweatband, and a fancy bow. It appears that at some point the hat was reversed, maybe to even out wear so as to avoid a hole at the pinch? The model is “The Polo”.
1930s “Wear Well Clothes” Overcoat

Monarch leather jacket
This vintage leather jacket was made by the Monarch company, a legendary leather jacket company of the golden era, who held an A-2 contract during the war. This is an aviator / motorcycle style, with an asymmetrical front zip , two flapped pockets, and two map pockets. It has epaulettes, belted sleeve cuffs, and a bi-swing half-belted back. The main zip is a triple marked sunburst Talon. The tab on the male side (the side without the puller) is missing. It’s still zip-able, but it takes a little bit to get the teeth to mesh initially. The chain zippers on the two map pockets are also talons. There are two ventilation grommets under each arm. The jacket is made of colt leather, a type of horsehide. There is damage to the cuffs, and cracking to the collar. The left shoulder has some flaking and the lining has wear and some moth damage. This jacket has been worn and has acquired a fantastic patina over the years.
Chest: 22″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18″
Top of Collar to Hem: 28″
