green?
I see the tint effect! Yes, black. Right now it is working to slim my middle, or making me. A bit tight but too nice to move at present. I've got a couple more.Nah, just a tint in the pic. These are black.
Aren't the 50s Spiegels great? JMax was the first to turn my attention to them, and I got one. A keeper. Any guess who made them for the Spiegel brand, Terry?I see the tint effect! Yes, black.

Surf! Cool! Are you surfing the giants? Saw some footage, it is like skiing down a mountain...
Yeah it’s that way here as well. Summer just won’t let go. I make peace with it by getting up at the ass crack of dawn and sitting in my jackets in the dark, drinking coffee. Latest is the IH, trying to get it shaped for fall with a spray bottle, rather than an atomic soak. These jackets take such a nice shape. Initially fits like crap but molds to the wearer quite nicely. I think these are the best off the rack type3’s you can buy and certainly the best fitting from IH. The price is high but I dare say it’s one of the few jackets that’s actually worth it. I’m sure it’ll see more wear than all the others combined. Add 1” to the collar points and it’s the coolest jacket ever IMO.Ridic.
Out for my usual Saturday morning hike in the woods in a t shirt again. Almost the end of September and it was 19° and I was sweating like I had rabies.
No jacket required.
I think I'd better sell all my jackets on eBay before anybody realises it's never actually going to be cold ever again.
I have a theory on the maker, but lack evidence. I have another like this with the Horsehide tag. The Lining is rayon often replaced by nylon in the early 50s. With that, I date this early 50s. This one has no leather tag, but looks/feels like Horsehide. Fine leather.Aren't the 50s Spiegels great? JMax was the first to turn my attention to them, and I got one. A keeper.
