Alberg red blazer with black velvet collar

Now on eBay!
This vintage jacket was made in the late ’50s or early 1960s by Alberg of Montreal.  It is a bright red flannel blazer with a black velvet collar.  Very much a hunt inspired blazer.  It has a short rear vent, one button on each sleeve, and no breast pocket.  There is some slight staining to the front of the jacket, which could probably be taken care of with a dry cleaning.  The jacket is half-lined in dark red.
Chest: 22″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 18-1/2″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25″
Length: 32″

Soo Woolen Mills Hunting Mackinaw

Now on eBay!
I think this is my favorite style of hunting mackinaw.  It was made by Soo Woolen mills, and has a button front, with a large collar.  The plaid is more interesting than the buffalo plaid used on a comparable woolrich of the era.  This one has two button chest pockets, and two button handwarmer pockets.  There is a large game pouch in back.  The coat is lined in gray flannel.  There is heavy mothing and staining throughout, and broken button on the sleeve- this was a coat which saw a lifetime of use and abuse in the field.
Chest: 24″
Sleeve: 25-1/2″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 19″

Biker Still Life

16″ lace up wingtip boots from the 1930s, a brown leather motorcycle jacket from the ’50s or so, Pall Mall cigarettes with a 1949 tax stamp, a made in Japan “Sabre” knife, vintage bandanna, belt and a silver and turquoise ring. Not a lot of brown leather going in motorcycle gear these days.
