Here is a more modern (perhaps) version of the label. It has what appears to be the initials SR above the Double Duty........ I wonder who made this brand??? BTW---here is the link to the similar jacket attached to that label

This one looks SWEEEEEET!!!! Yet according to the Seller it's "a little damaged/dirty" Glass Half Empty marketing!!!! Lol....... I say this tongue in cheek.......... the over the top honesty really is shockingly refreshing.
"Item Condition In Bad Condition Overall" LOL.......... The Japanese listings are SOOOO overly honest. Basically, if it isn't brand new, its listed as "dirty with imperfections" or something like that. Now this one appears night and day when you look at the inside vs. outside......and the...
Interesting jacket regardless. That one piece back is beautiful and grainy!!
I was initially thinking the badge holder was perhaps covering a hole or some other flaw. When I first saw it, it looked perhaps like it was not original and was possibly added to the jacket at a later date. The...
Even for an old 50s piece, that is an odd placement for the badge holder IMO. I get that its crowded on a CZ but even so.......that Belly Badge is strange to me...... I don't think I have seen one in that location on a jacket before.
This looks like another RoughWear.......... you don't see these this come up too close together like the one previously posted and this one. The cuffs, the lining, the script font, the colors of the label, and hide quality are all very RoughWear-esque. The Horsehide Label is different...

I have handled a decent few Hercules jackets but have never come across one with a Union Made tag......I sorta pegged that Herc label as a later vintage than would be the period I would expect to possibly see a Union tag.
Can anyone give at least a rough time period with the Union tags were...
This thread is excellent and chock full of true facts. It really should stand on its own. That JC information is corroborating evidence of what we have been gnawing on and moving toward for awhile. @tmitchell59 , @handymike, @RiteStuffBryan --- you guys NAILED this mystery. Its like, once we...
Wow!!!!! Looks like a cool jacket!!!!! Talk about bein ON THE CASE!!!!!!! @tmitchell59 give us your read on the DURABLE jacket when you have a chance!! That label looks more modern than some I have seen but maybe its actually older??? The jacket looks pretty old especially the collar...
WHY you ask is this Vest being posted in the FINDS AND DEALS thread????
Gentlemen, this vest is a TRUE FIND because, as you can read in the listing----THIS vest is SLEEVELESS!!!! In fact, this particular Seller has cornered the market on SLEEVELESS VESTS as he/she has several for sale. Does...
