Tweed Hollywood Jacket

This one may not have the immediate flash and bang of the two tone variety, but it’s wild in its own right. The cut, those pocket details, and oh that fabric. This vintage tweed hollywood jacket has some really killer detailing. It has four patch pockets, all are pleated. The larger, lower set are flapped. The jacket is rolled to the third button, but has five, all evenly spaced. The buttons are leather knot / football type, but could probably stand to be replaced. The top button is missing, the third is in the pocket, as is one of the sleeve buttons. The jacket is fully lined, but I can not locate any labels. It has classically ’40s wide padded shoulders. The flecky tweed is heavy and soft- comfortably casual

Woolrich Hunting Mackinaw Jacket

There were a lot of companies producing these hunting jackets, but for me, Woolrich is the iconic one. That giant rounded collar, the button front. Simple and rugged. One served me well in the pouring rain of Alaska and against the Canadian maritime wind. It’s hard to find one in mint condition. These were not fashion, they were utilitarian pieces, used for decades, until there was nothing left. Tears and repairs are the norm. Woodsmoke and rain a way of life. This one is the short version, less commonly seen than the four pocket version.

This vintage hunting mackinaw was made by the Woolrich Woolen Mills. It is their short, zip up pattern, which features two breast pockets, two slash handwarmer pockets, and a large rear game pouch. This one bears patches from Pennsylvania hunting groups. Chest (pit to pit): 21″Shoulder to Shoulder: 17-1/2″Sleeve (Shoulder to cuff): 23″

This cowboy hat, made by Restistol, probably in the 1980s, is very close to the classic cowboy hats of the 1920s and 1930s, with its tall crown, Tom Mix crease, and pencil curl brim edge. It is a navy blue fur felt, with a two cord hat band. It was sold by “The Maverick”. with locations in Tempe, Chandler and Casa Grande Arizona. The model is the “Tempe Diablos”, presumably made for members of the charity.

These Hanes Fig leaf combination union suits were advertised in the early 1940s, but the design doesn’t seem to have lasted very long. This one is deadstock, and is a size 38 (measured by chest measurement, like an undershirt).
