    Does anyone know what kind of jacket this is?

    Does anyone know what kind of jacket this is? I bought it at a flea market called “the dump” for a very small amount, and now I’m curious about what kind of jacket it is. I can’t find it anywhere—maybe someone knows? I think it’s from the 90s or early 2000s. It seems to be from Italy; the jacket...

    Can You Help Me Date This Men's Suit?

    Hi, I just listed this men's vintage suit in my shop that I think is probably 1960's but a few people I asked thought it was 1930's based on the metal IDEAL zipper on the pants & the style of the jacket. But the pants, in my somewhat educated but by no means an expert opinion, think pants looks...

    Is this complete early 50s Woolrich hunting set the find of a lifetime??

    Met up with an older neighbor to help clean out their attic and found this in a trunk in the attic, completely untouched. As seen in the pictures, the tags date it to late ‘40s to early ‘50s. What’s special about this set is that it’s got everything down to the socks, and it’s all in mint...

    Trying to identify age and maker of double rider jacket

    Hi: I obtained this nice angle zip recently and would appreciate any informed input on its age and maker. It's been relined, so no label or markings anywhere. The main zipper is Talon, the others YYY. The leather is medium weight; not as thick or stiff as the four Cal-Leather CHPs I've had from...
