    Woolrich Hunting Coat Style Guide

    Woolrich: 505 It seems that this model was made differently over the year. Early 505s look to have the tighter shadow plaid, while later has massive block red and black plaid.

    Woolrich Hunting Coat Style Guide

    Howdy all Ive been searching for some kind of style guide for Woolrich Hunting coats that tells me the difference between the model numbers. For example a model 503 vs 505.

    1930s Woolrich Halfbelt

    I grew up 2 miles from Woolrich Pa. I moved away but have a huge fondness for the clothing of my home town. So when I saw this Woolrich Halfbelt which looked like it would fit, I knew Id be going home with it. I dont know what model number this jacket is but by my estimates Id date it between...

    Where has all the HBT gone?

    I started searching the internet to buy a pair of reproduction World War II hbt fatigues and I can't seem to find any anywhere. There used to be dozens of places that reproduce to them but now they are all sold out. Is there a shortage of hbt fabric now. Does anybody have information on what's...

    Swap Meet Score!

    I rescued this vintage beauty from a swap meet this week for $35. It was so dry and crispy you could prop up a building. I started rejuvenating it yesterday and it's well on it's way to having life again. Can anyone tell me the age and possible maker of this jacket? My guess is late 40s early 50s.

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    So I was so impressed with my custom 5* Waldo Pepper jacket that I ordered another one in their Distressed Buffalo Hide with real horn buttons and red satin lining. This time I ordered their stock model in a stock size 38. Here are my observations. The pockets on the Stock model are about 20%...

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    I ordered with speed hooks to emulate the M1931 Cavalry boot. There is an old logger trick to lacing them one handed and you can have them tied in under 2 minutes. Ive worn mine through airports and had all the TSA folks taking bets on me and were blown away when I was up and walking faster than...

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words. I think its really cool that there are so many motorcycle enthusiasts here in the lounge, that would be great to have a bike thread. Maybe Ill start one with some photos. The boots are from Golden Age Motorcycle Clothing. They are the Cannonball...

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    I grew up working on these old Brit bikes with my Dad. I was 12 or 15 and all my friends were 60 plus. We spent out time in the garage restoring bikes, listening to blues and outlaw country and stories of the old days. WWII vets, first generation Greasers from the 50s, million mile riders, all...

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    The stock buttons certainly do leave me wanting replacements. I actually ordered some horn buttons the night my jacket arrived

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    My jacket is the 1mm goat and seems to be exactly the same weight and feel as my original G&F M422a. The 1.2mm goat they offer has more grain which is very nice but even so the 1mm still has plenty and shows more and more by the day. The leather quality certainly isn't top tier but its quite...

    Fivestar Waldo Pepper Jacket

    Yes Id say the 1mm is very solid. It does not feel at all under weight.
