Reindeer fur boots

Posted on December 19, 2015 by Spencer Stewart

These vintage boots are European, made in the 1930s-1940s. I was sold they were reindeer fur when I bought them, and the look consistent with that to me. They have pegged leather soles and rubber covered heels. The square toe looks like ski boots of the period, but they do not have the grooved heel sides that I generally associate with that style. The sole measures 12-1/2″ long and 4-7/16″ wide.

Polo Ralph Lauren beltback tennis jacket

This jacket was made in Italy for Ralph Lauren around 2007 and was sold under the Polo label. It is white with a slubby corded texture, pleated patch pockets and a belted back. It is half-lined, like the original 1930s jackets it is based on. While tagged a size 44, I’ve had a couple of these jackets over the years, and they’ve all run small. With a 44″ chest measurement, this best fits someone who wears a size 40.

Chest (pit to pit): 22″ (doubled = 44″)

Shoulder to shoulder: 19″

Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 26-3/4″

Length (base of collar to hem): 32″
