Thanks !
They sure are.


working on my second Leisure jacket now.
I'm going to use as the contrast some 40s fleck pants that are to small for anyone to wear ( 25 x 32 size).

Damian I hope you got a lot of money for this one. I would have never let it go as this type of fabric just not available anymore.

The Guy Had the Matching slacks!!!!!
200 + a 40s deep crimson red corduroy Hollywood still with tags.
" MR. STROLLER $38" says the tag

I only did this because I like to wear my collection and I sadly grew out of the Coat.

I'd say it's more late 1950s but still a glorious jacket!

I had doubts but after seeing elvis in some images from 1953 were a sports coat very similar to this It made some sense.
The union label also seems to be older because of the red numbers as oppose to black numbers.

Red numbers on union labels were used up until around the mid-late 1960's. If the union label hadn't been partially covered, you could have looked for the little R in a circle which would have helped determine a 1949 or 1962 union label. The buttonhole on the lapel however does mainly age your jacket to the '50s.

Old British regimental blazer. I love the patch pockets on a DB blazer!

No R and its a 49 label

Awesome look, Chausseur. I've been on the hunt for just such a navy blazer for some time.

hart schaffner and marx jacket with blue and red flecks...
propably an orphan but fit is spot on and the fabric makes a good sport coat.

Very nice Floey!

Thank you. I like it too.

Ellingers, Satisfaction clothes, Lincoln Nebr.
This one is shorter...almost too short but I still like it. There are some moth holes on the sleeves and although I drycleaned it and everything the holes drive me insane(I am never sure if there are new ones.Ahrgs.) Well. the jacket is my beater. It fits to grey or brown trousers so I take it everywhere and don't need to worry about it.


I added the union labels on the first sportcoat. I have no experience at all with them. So if you can tell what they say about the age...?

After years of seeing them on this forum I decided to check out some of those RL belted back sportcoats. I had to sell off some items to raise the funds, but I think it has been well worth it.

Two Polo RL belted action back sportcoats. Very 1930s styling: patch box pleated pockets, working cuff buttons, etc. I am very impressed with the quality and styling of these items. I have bought various belted action backs that have come out the Talso Elbas from Macy's and those linen ones from Crittiden. These are much nicer, of course they are much more costly, especially new.

(Please take no notice of my long cuffs escaping in the photos...)
