    FS Five Star Seal Horsehide Half Belt

    Up for sale: Brand new Five Star Half Belt in Seal Horsehide. This is a great jacket, but I decided I would rather have one in a lighter color. The hide is a dark brown seal pigment over a russet core, as can be seen on the zipper pull. I think it has the potential to age beautifully. It has...

    Halfbelt hunting jacket— help dating

    So, I just received this in the mail today. I’ve been wanting a vintage wool jacket for a bit, and this one had some interesting features (and it was cheap!). Any ideas on how old it is? Half belt with an unusual shoulder seam design— I guess for more freedom of movement when hunting? Tag...

    Anybody have Chippewa Black Bomber boots?

    I'm looking to buy a new pair of dark brown engineer boots and the Chippewa Black Bombers caught my eye. I've already got a pair of Frye Brando's which I really like, but they get a little uncomfortable after a full day of work. I've worn the Chippewa Katahdin boots before and didn't have that...

    Help me save my jacket...

    Okay, so my favorite piece of vintage clothing is probably my old Hercules horsehide jacket. It gets more wear than just about anything else I own. Anyhow, recently I have noticed that the collar is starting to crack. I have been treating the jacket regularly with Pecards since I got it a few...

    After a long time offline, I'm back with a pic of my new hat: [/IMG] Here's the story: A friend of mine works in a goodwill/thrift store type of place. I had looked there before and not really found anything worthwhile. Anyhow, the other day she and her husband stopped by to visit...

    My new Rolleicord

    After reading the thread a few days ago about the Rollei MiniDigi, I started to do some research about the "old school" medium format cameras. I previously considered getting an old Zeiss Ikonata or something similar but finally narrowed my search down to either a Rolleicord or a Yashica Mat...

    I finally got a decent hat!!!

    It's not perfect, but it was only $12, and I think it fits pretty well. What do you guys think? Found it in an antique shop in Slayton, MN of al places! I was visiting my grandmother and made a stop in the neighboring town. Dropped into the antique store, and there it was hanging off...
