1960s belt back
The 1930s did a victory lap in the late 1960s. ’30s fashions, like the belt back jacket came back briefly. Here’s an example.
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.
Cut down Colvinex Flight Suit
The colvinex flight suit was a one piece goatskin coverall electrically heated flight suit. Great for cold weather flying in WWII and Korea, not so great as surplus. Not a lot of call for the average joe for something as specialized as these. So out come the electrical coils, and out come the scissors, needle and thread. I’ve run across quite a few examples of these that were cut down post war for casual or motorcycle use, and each does it a bit differently.

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.
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.
