How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Cornelius]

Is there any functional reason behind fringed leather jackets? I'm fine with "Its sweet so we did it" I'm just wondering if there was a historical reason.

I've heard both to better shed rain and to swat away the swarms of flies that bothered cowboys as they rode alongside a herd of cattle.

Seller lowered the price and I could not resist any longer. My wife will hate it, my kids ll say “way to rock it dad!”
A little rough but it’ll clean up some.

Well I did grow up in the 70’s. Guess my inner classic rock demons got the best of me.

Oh it's cool as $#% don't worry about that!

My yin got yang’d! This one…I like! Better start watching the Bulls again I suppose. I have to say, these Polo wools are actually quite surprisingly nice. Materials are good and Ralph definitely paid attention to the originals. Much more so on this one than the first one I snagged.

That looks good. Love that pattern. I wonder when they were built? Time for me to take out my wool beauty with the tan patches!

I made out on this one. One of my favorite vintage jackets. Lots of bidders, and it didn’t really go anywhere. I was positive the price would blow right past me. Hoping for a wee bit more than the stated P2P though.

Was hoping someone here got it

I watched it go to the finish line in absolute astonishment. Congrats!

Yep. I was waiting for the sniper to take me out. After the auction closed it took a while to reset on my phone. The entire time I’m looking at a blank screen expecting $600 or more to pop up lol. Pleasant surprise.

Guidemaster Wolf. Outta Boston like Fidelity, so some similarities in design and I hope, pattern.

I knew you were going after this one. Glad you got it. If it would have been a little wider p2p there would’ve been one more bidder in the fray.

Im hoping for a bit more too. The seller never responded to my request for a photo. He also ignored an offer I shot his way. Glad he did. I do think it will be a bit larger than stated, based on all the other measurements and cross referencing them with my Fidelity. We shall see. If not, I’ll probably sell.

The post by the grandson of the founding Mr. Wolf is enlightening.

The wool lining likely precede the red or blue quilted nylon lining. The hide looks a bit different in pictures. Not sure if the hide changed or it’s just the pictures, or my eyes. At the end of their short run it was steer, like most everyone else I guess.

I agree. All the hides they used I like to look at.

That one shocked me too. Was expecting a much higher finish line. Funny how that works. I suspect if you were to wait a year and throw it back to auction you’d probably triple your investment.

USPS running morbidly slow. My vintage wool Halfbelt has been sitting in a Chicago distro center for a full three days. ‘Tis the season. Usually this time of year is the no fly zone for me buying anything that ships through the mail as the frustration sends my BP into overdrive.
