    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    But I still know that a fellow American should have been paid to make it, and even worse is that far less Americans are being paid to make things here than there were when that jacket was made because of products that like this jacket weren't made here. I would always know that it played a role...

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    That's what I did. He also offered me a decent discount of $90 shipped on a cooper G1 he has listed, but I had to pass. He seems like a good guy , but the description on the Cooper G1 says " definitely 70's or earlier " , yet it seems to be kind of the same situation as this Avirex A2...

    Here's an interesting woolrich. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295486084494 I don't know anything about it, or if it's even a mens piece. The cut is interesting, I like the pattern, and the color. Zip front mandarin collar, no pockets. a sweater I guess?

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    The seller just contacted me to confirm the size and to ask if I mind them waiting till Monday to ship it. I let them know that I was regretting my hasty decision to purchase it, but that I didn't really feel like it would be right for me to back out and would have no problems sticking to the...

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    Because I'm somebody who favors American made goods whenever and wherever possible, and I can't stand American manufacturers paying foreign companies for work they should be paying a fellow American to do with few exceptions. I'll buy the American made products in a heartbeat, but not the imports.

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    That's what I was suspecting. I'm not sure what I'll do with the jacket, but I know that I won't really be very happy with it knowing it's not made here. If it's a decent enough jacket , it might at least be one more jacket experience to learn from because it's hard to know what I really dislike...

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    The seller told me there are no other tags or labels in the jacket. Apparently they bought it at a flea market last summer and realized they couldn't wear it, I was hoping maybe they had bought it new back in the day or something.

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    What I read there suggests that this would be a " earlier " Avirex due to the 1978 contract date, but earlier could mean anything. I have asked the seller if there are any other tags / labels and perhaps a COO. if the jacket doesn't say it's US made would you think that means it's not ? Every...

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    As far as pictures included in the listing, this is the only other label or tag.

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    No and now I'm starting to think maybe the jackets not made here and if that's the case I might want to try and cancel my purchase if possible. I made the mistake of assuming that since the label didn't specify any other country for the COO that it would be made here, as well as assuming I'd...

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    It just occurred to me that this could be some kind of repro, do you think it's an authentic Avirex ?

    Did i jump the gun on this one ?

    I just bought this Avirex A2 on Ebay, and quickly realized I made another purchase without giving it as much thought as I maybe should have. Heres what I saw with my unexperienced/ untrained eye I Love the color Great condition Nice grain Single piece back And I definately noticed the $130...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today I went with the late production half-assed Wranglers that had so many stray threads when I got it.

    Ever wanted to make yourself a pair of sneakers ?

    These cup soles are side stitched, so you could pop the stitch pull the sole off and replace.

    Ever wanted to make yourself a pair of sneakers ?

    Apparently you can, and he really does make it look easy with his printable template. theres a tool or two I'd need to make this easier, but otherwise I think I could do it if I wanted to. just a cross stitch at the heel, and a basic saddle stitch around the rest of it. I'm not sure I'd ever...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I was really underwhelmed by this 70's JC penny's big MAC when I got it because I received my pioneer wear vest the same day and was so impressed by it's quality, but I was too quick to judge and have actually been liking it quite a lot lately. We've had some low 70's days as we're getting...

    Call me crazy, but I really like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145016408471 It seems like a relatively dense stout wool, and if it were my size I'd definitely jump on it.
