1949 Sears Fall/Winter Catalog

"NOW NYLON LININGS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE OF OUR BEST LEATHER JACKETS."

Well, I have one of these Hercules jackets in near pristine condition, but the lining is starting to fail. What do you think the reaction might be if I showed up at Sears with my jacket in hand and a copy of this ad, trying to make good on their guarantee? :eeek:

It would definitely be an amusing interaction. However, you might not like what they replace it with! Or they might just give you the $25 refund just to get you out the door.

I just got this painted tie off E Bay.
Is it a Pilgrim from Sears?

Great stuff! This is why drugs weren't as popular then. The ties alone were a trip!
