Another nifty find for the day

[Rooster]

I've been looking for a sport coat with the leather gunpad and elbow pads and found it today. This ones got the big ol' patch pockets too. Big lapels and leather covered buttons. Beats me how old it is , any guesses?
I'll certainly look dapper shooting skeet in this thing.

I like that very much.

"Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood!
Where any office boy
Or young mechanic
can be a panic
With just a good-looking pan (pan=face)
And any barmaid
Can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan (reference: Sally Rand*)
Hooray for Hollywood!"

Rishman Brothers

Richman Brothers was a fashion company that was taken over by Woolworths in 1969. They closed in 1992, I don't know if they stopped selling clothing under their own label, between these dates.

Quite cool. Just don't go horseback riding in it... the shoulder pad will look out of place.

Those lower pockets are called saddle bag pockets, by the way.

Good to know. Richman Brothers vintage overcoats before 1960 are some of my favorites that I own---not to mention the hats. Its a shame they went by the wayside. [huh]

Very good find. I could live with a wardrobe of sport jackets if I had matching trousers and vests.

That one looks pretty nice.
