My vintage Levi’s Sherpa arrived and it’s even better than expected. Basically NOS, someone maybe wore it once or just tried on a few times. Not even a spec of wear or dirt on cuffs collar etc. Too bad Levi’s doesn’t make them like this anymore. Thick lining, quilted sleeve, made in USA etc.
5'9 160, usually a 40/42. This fits like a solid 42 but it's I missed the 42 Long tag when buying it. Thus too long in the sleeves for me. Actually ended up buying a 42 Reg in this style, great design
Beautiful vintage Vanson, even has the underarm gussets they stopped doing on all but a few current models. Shameful that someone actually cut off the epaulettes. I could see maybe doing that on a cheapo beater but they killed this one ;(!
Haha. Just a few vintage Levi’s for me. Not sliding down the rabbit hole of denim. I already have enough jackets and boots to survive the apocalypse. I still have one leather jacket in the works as we speak. Finalizing details ;)
Kind of stocked up on leather at the moment so Im on a little denim kick. 80s Levis blanket lined in route. Dark blue but Id really prefer the black version of this one. Black just doesnt pop up as often though...
All drama aside and whether that concerns you or not is up to each person. As for the jackets, I've owned 4 various SB models. All excellent materials and construction. My only gripe is with some of the finer details / nuances such as cuff / collar / pocket flap shape, side belt directions etc...
Nice one! Not sure how I ever missed this on Vanson's site. Leather also looks nice than the Firenze. Deer tanned cow...kind of looks like the leather on my vanson riding gloves but I doubt its the same. Id gamble with it, just make sure you buy a size 42 in case you need to flip ;).
The price...
Bump. Real nice fur ruff on this one. Kind of tempted to repurpose it for use in my N3b I wear more often. Please don’t make me butcher this jacket for parts!!
You're not a weirdo. All of us on the lounge are the weirdos compared to the general population who go about their day not thinking about what jacket to wear, buy, lust after etc. They put the appropriate jacket they own on for the weather that day. I'm completely with you, there are a lot of...
Too cold to play dress up up with leather jackets and or vintage clothing today. Heavy duty goretex and fleece combo. Not the lightest gear but almost indestructible .
I kind of went on a military kick lately acquiring three N series jackets and two field jackets. Hoping the lounge can help identify my two unknown soldier N3B s that are tagless. Both are coyote fur rufs so these are within the same decade.
First one - Scovill zips, matte satin shell, olive...
Any words of wisdom from the lounge on the do’s and don'ts of cleaning isolated areas on satin jackets like ma1 and n3b? I feel leather is very forgiving with cleaning / conditioning but that old military satin fabric just worries me. Just acquired an amazing 1960s NOS N3B but it has a few...
