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.
1950s Rogers Peet Sportcoat
Not the most exciting jacket – a pretty typical early ’50s cut, but in a nice houndstooth.
Del Rio 1930s Overcoat
Simply put- the best 1930s overcoat. Bold tweed, a super flattering cut, detailing and workmanship like no other. Check out those buttons, and the bellows pockets.
Maple Leaf Tartan
This 1960s jacket is pure Canadiana. Maple leaf tartan fabric. Maple leaf buttons.
The Blue Blazer Part II
The classic blue blazer, this one with from Eatons, with a Nova Scotian patch on the breast pocket.
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.
1933 Vest – Hookless Zipper
Made by a high schooler in the 1930s, this patchwork leather vest sports a very early zipper.
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.
