I actually think the prices are pretty good if the quality was also good. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt because I do wear the items I have more than any other modern brand.
It's not the end of the world to me if I'm sent the wrong size. When an item doesn't match a size...
To give an update on the jeans:
I finally received them after over 2 months of waiting.
These were the Brakeman jeans, the high waisted cinch back ones. The pair I received were 2” smaller than the size chart on the website (16.5” half waist as opposed to 17.5”) with a 2” shorter inseam (32” as...
Vintage wool Levi’s western that I picked up yesterday vs. LVC repro in cotton that I’ve had for years. I have to say, the LVC is a pretty darn good copy. Excited to find an old one in my size, though!
I'm hoping to get some impressions from others, but I've been buying from Simon James Cathcart/Cathcart London for years now and recently I have not had an order without a problem.
It first started with a shirt I bought that arrived with a big hole in it. They replaced it no questions asked, but...
I am going for a natural western weight beaver. I’m finally having my dream western made in the style of those old Stetson and Big Bill hats that are always too small for me (and you too). Tall straight crown, big curled brim with binding. Light colored ribbon.
I changed it to a sale. Trade actually seems unrealistic. If someone wants both, make me an offer! These are very fine vintage hats in a nice bigger size, so snatch them up! Rather have them go to a lounger than try to do eBay.
These are both very fine hats, maybe 50s? Fantastic shape. $325 for the Nutria, $250 for the No. 1 Quality (plus shipping). Paypal F&F.
The brown one is the Nutria and the silverbelly is No. 1 Quality. Both have 5 1/2" crown when open, Nutria has a 4" brim and No. 1 has a 3 1/2" brim. These both...
Sorry - I was saying I have the suit in the photo I was replying to.
I was trying to steer you away from reproductions. Anything that’s labeled as a “Peaky Blinders” suit is most likely going to be a chintzy knockoff. Something more of that era but not an exact copy could take some time to...
Hey, I have that suit! It's great but it's very, very warm.
SJC makes great repros but sells out rather quickly and it seems like they rarely show up second hand. Getting a specific suit from a TV show is most likely going to lead you to disreputable sellers who make cheap clothing. Having a...
Sorry to hijack the thread, but I've got one for sale that is one size smaller: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/wwii-era-10-button-peacoat-size-40.110357/
Thanks for the links, I'm considering a pair now.
I was lucky enough to get my Westerner years ago for $40. One of the best deals I've ever come across.
Storm Riders are crawling up in price. I had a 60s one for awhile but it didn't fit the way I liked and I traded it in and got a deadstock...
I'd be interested in the 50s Riders, but now the secondhand market is insane and really not worth it to me when you can get better stuff for far less than $3-400. I personally wouldn't buy a repro jacket because I like jackets more broken in and you can get great 101js for fairly cheap still...
I love a good Levi's 501, but Lee Riders have a more interesting cut to me. Higher rise to match the classic 101J short cropped jacket. I wish they sold those European repros in America, I'd like to try some on to figure out what size I'd wear.
The jackets are the best. The 101J Rider is the...
