Good vintage even comes in large sizes!
This vintage coat is a 1930s railroad mackinaw. It is double breasted, with a shawl collar, belted back, handwarmer pockets and cargo pockets. Because this is a workwear coat, subject to abuse, this style had additional leather reinforcement at the...
This vintage A-2 leather flight jacket was made in the 1940s, either at the end of the war or during occupation. A-2s ceased to be produced in 1943, but remained popular with servicemen. Theatre made examples like this are rare, but were commissioned by Americans who wanted a jacket that was no...
It's hard to find the original 1930s half-belt, cossack style wool work jackets in larger sizes, in wearable condition, and for reasonable money. And while many reproductions are made of leather jackets of this design, the wool models are harder to come by. For those of you who have been...

This vintage money belt was made in 1917 or early 1918. It is khaki colored canvas, with a three compartment zippered pouch and a waist belt. These were generally advertised to servicemen during WWI, and were one of the earliest applications of the then...
How to help date your jacket and other items based on their zippers, 1910s-present. Guides for dating the pull, the stop box, the slider and the top-stops.
Separable bottomed zippers, where you can disengage the two sides of the zipper, as found on jackets, were first introduced in 1930. The...
I've been searching for one of these for years and finally tracked one down. These are incredibly rare, only made by several makers for a period of about five years. This one was made by Congress Sportswear in about 1935, with a grommet zipper front and bell shaped zip hood. Really a holy...

This basic has been around since the early 1930s. It was a civilian style before the A-2, and continues to be made in various guises. To call these civilian versions of the A-2 or the G-1 doesn't do them justice. The "bomber jacket" name came about in the 1940s, capitalizing on the heroic image...
I'm trying to make one last push for the season to clear out space and raise some funds. These will only be available until Friday and must be paid by Saturday morning at the absolute latest. Shoot me a message if you're interested in any or if you want additional shots.

You don't see too many of these original Buco jackets. Japanese repros of this model run $2330, and fully in-tact originals over a grand. With the modifications made to this one by its original biker owner, I've started it off low. Still a great chance to get your hands on a great looking early...
