I think you did just fine but you can still keep looking...
...now that your interest has been piqued.

I've definitely got the denim bug!

Hey, Feraud >> What's your guesstimate on the time period of the SR?

 

[Zemke Fan]

Oh man do I LOVE this one...

Probably be the last one of these that I can afford for a while:

Wrangler Blue Bell, Selvidge Denim, 1950s (likely), Talon steel zipper.

Thanks, BT for looking this one over for me and signalling a thumbs-up!

Lee Storm Rider arrived today

A little bit tight! (Makes that weight loss a little bit more imperative.) AND, a little smelly. But a nice jacket overall.

Blue Bell is great.
This style has some pretty cool details.

Some research on the Storm Rider label...

Indicates that it may be from 1962-63.

 

[JakeHolman]

My old faithful Wrangler. Not sure of age, if anybody has an idea it would be appreciated

 

[Zemke Fan]

Just arrived...

Better than I expected. VERY heavy weight denim. Uniform fading (very light). No hidden flaws.

Terrific fit in shoulders, sleeves. A little tight in the chest and waist, but that's my fault and not the jacket's!

My favorite details are the action-back and the folded over pleat on the front that's tacked down with little round stitches.

All-in-all, I am VERY pleased!

Zemke that Wrangler jacket is a beaut.

Here's a jacket that took my eye & I've just picked up on eBay for $12.50. Not one of the three big names & not true vintage. Nevertheless selvedge denim in a vintage style & IMO too good to miss at the price, both the Seller & I being in the UK so cheap postage & no Customs complications.

 

[Zemke Fan]

Got it out of the closet today...

Zemke that Wrangler jacket is a beaut.

Agreed!

 

[john z]

Still think it's a beaut despite you being in it lol. Seriously though the fit is spot on for my taste. Also I see your a fan of the turned back cuff as I am. See my Lee Rider jacket in post 14 of this thread. Thanks for sharing this particular jacket. I've never been a fan of Wrangler but you have converted me.

Picked up this Storm Rider at a local thrift shop today, looks like it was never worn. My size too!

I love everything about this jacket, from the name and collar to the blanket lining and slanted pockets. Definitely a keeper.

1960s? 1970s?

And look who else wore the Storm Rider...

 

[dr greg]

local effort

Got to fly the flag here for the classic 60's/70's Australian denim label AMCO, great jeans and jackets, they went OOB early 80's I think, and were re-launched a few years ago with the usual Made-in-china thing happening, but when I was a kid we all wore these jackets because they were cheaper than the US imports or locally made US labels, and they stand the test of time as you see...I have a few beat-up ones but this example is still good as new.

That's quite the find! I'm envious. It's my size, as well...lol

ahhhh.... takes me back to my younger day. I really liked the look in those days. I am not sure my better half would stand for it these days......
