[herringbonekid]

does the winner get a prize ?

and then......

 

[flat-top]

Hmmm.......I didn't think of a prize!! But I can buy you a drink!:beer: The cow print one (duh) is a repro by Geronimo ,and the brown and tan one is by Jorge in CA. That's actually part of an entire suit with two tone pants!!

 

[Wild Root]

AAAAAAAA! WOA! Now, where have you been keeping these all this time??? I must say, I’m green with envy! I also can see there are only a few repops which means you have a fine collection. I only have one but, damn proud of it! You must be really proud of your collection. Good show friend! I bow to your collection!

I’m impressed!

flat-top, that tan & brown job is VERY close to mine. Mine has leather buttons and flap pockets with reverse radius corners, however, and no breast pocket. Nicely done. What sort of material was used? Mine is a medium weight worsted wool.

I would say that this is also worsted wool. The back is the dark brown. It's one of my favs!

I have another jacket (I didn't take a pic of it), that's like the one pictured, but it's missing the belt.:rage: I'd like to have one made. Any seamstresses out there wanna help a guy out??

Man, this thread is right up my alley. Flat-top, those are too cool!

Here's the one I've had for about 10 years. I wear it all the time. It seems real close to Root's. I don't recall where I got it...my brain works that way.

There's a belted Hollywood jacket at a shop in town. Just my size, but stains on the front and...$385!!!

If it's two-tone, I'd try to talk them down on price and grab it! The two tone styles are RARE!

 

[Mr. Rover]

Is there a specific kind of knot that they use to tie the belts?

I don't think so. Not in a big bow or anything. I'm not sure of any technical terms, but I just do the beginnings of a bow, twice!

 

[Wild Root]

Yep.

That's how you do it. You could also say it's the first step to a square knot. I don't own one of these coats yet so, don't know the proper way to tie them but, I'm sure it's a lot like a belt to a robe.

Take a close look at this photo and you'll see it's rather easy.

[Wild Root]

Dynamite! I thought so.

[kools]

It's not a two-tone...and this is a shop where you CANNOT talk the price down. A bunch off cool stuff, but they have shown no interest in actually selling any of it.
