Plaid Wool Mackinaws

[Flat Foot Floey]

Indeed. Together with HBKs jacket on the page before it convinced me that I HAVE to get one too!

That jacket is awesome, Kurtz. I've been looking for one since you posted this. Sadly, most are smaller sizes and not as nice a color combo.

this un's on eBay right now and is quite big:

I'll hunt for it...thx.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

It's a Hercules! Going by the features, liner, and hanger tab, I'd say the one I posted above is probably a hercules, too, though it's lost its tag.

Thanks - sleeves are hella short! By about 2-3".

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, I've convinced myself that I need to make one for myself. Bought the fabric today.

THAT ladies and gentlemen is how you "rock a mack". By his size and demeanor I'd say he was a boxer. Great photo.

I have to agree with both Flat Foot Floey and Warf, that is one dapper gentleman!

I like that one Dinnerman, but I like the belt on the young mans jacket above your post. Man, he reminds me how much I need to work out!

New Wool Check Mackinaw Coat from Bonobos

Anybody own one of these:

[Dinerman]

Nice, but I think it would look better with a belt like most of the original double breasted plaid mackinaws had.
More like a plaid WWI peacoat than a hunting mackinaw.

'50s/'60s Penney's

 

[Worf]

My first real Mackinaw. Made in the Upper "P" vintage '70's. Said Size 54 in the ad but it's probably a 48. It fits BARELY!
