    Mystery Pac Northwest (?) boot ID?

    Wesco was my first thought, too. However, I thought they were pretty strict about always stamping their boots with their logo. The absence of a logo made me think they might be older linesman or timber boots by one of the PAC NW or Canadian makers. I think these rotated out of the downtown...

    Do these leather gloves look like a poor fit?

    You could also look into something called cadet sizes for gloves. It is a different ratio of finger length to palm size than for typical gloves. You might fit better into a cadet size, but it may be different from your typical glove size number. Everything I could find currently online about...

    Worn Out West (Johnson Leather?) jacket sz 40

    The leather type is not marked, so I am going to say cow/steerhide. The jacket is 5 lbs on my luggage scale. It is hard to gauge flexibility. It still needs more break in, but it is not brand new stiff. Let me know if there are other questions. This jacket is too nice to sit in my closet :)

    Victorian Sterling Silver Pocket Watch Chain

    This is a really nice heavy watch chain. Any idea where it was made? Are there any city marks on it?

    Taubers riding pants

    It is time for me to accept that these pants will never fit me and pass them along. They are “orange label” Taubers with teardrop talon zips on the front and rear pockets. All snaps and zippers function. All measurements taken lying flat. Waist 15” Rise 10” Inseam 25” from cuff to bottom of the...

    Aero wool and leather Halfbelt

    You have a great looking jacket! You also engineered a perfect fit, as always. This design also inspired me to look into leather as an option for restoring a vintage Filson wool jacket that I found. The original sleeve ends are pretty chewed up and leather replacements are an interesting option.

    Mystery Pac Northwest (?) boot ID?

    I’m hoping someone recognizes the maker of these boots from their shape or the stitching patterns. The concave heel makes me think of a Pacific Northwest maker. I have looked all over them for a stamp or tag, but no luck. They seem well built enough that I am thinking about buying them, but...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    The seam separation near the collar scared me away from this one. It is hard to tell from photos if the leather is sturdy enough to tolerate restitching.

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Thanks @JMax @El Marro @Will Zach @TREEMAN for the replies & advice. @JMax I don’t think the hole goes entirely through the jacket, but it looks deep enough that more wear could cause it to break through. Thanks for the warning about the seams. It is good advice in the hunt for good vintage...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Here is the shoulder seam separation. It looks like it would need fixed by going inside the liner. Maybe something to remedy if I got the liner replaced.

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    I am on a road trip and just spotted a Cal “in the wild”. I am hoping for some advice about whether this is worth picking up for about $180. The pluses are the weight of the leather (feels more like my Star Glove than my other Cal), the tea core-ish wear (at least more so than my other Cal), and...

    Dating Clothes by snaps

    These snaps from a pair of driving/motorcycling gauntlets have me puzzled. USF I get, but not sure about C F Co? Carr fastener mid-merger? My guess is that the gloves date from the 19-teens or 1920s.

    early motorcycle gloves

    Resurrecting this 2019 thread in hopes of identifying a mystery pair I found in the Pac NW. No identifying marks except a 9 1/2 size sticker. The snap says C F Co. USF (I thought it said USA until I took the closeup pic). I think I remember USF from the dating using snaps forum here. I can’t ID...

    Sullivan's Gloves

    Glad you found your HH gloves. I got on Sullivan’s email list. I have gotten a few updates from them, which is nice. No horsehide runs announced yet.

    Conditioning Leather

    I had a pair of riding/driving gloves that cracked like this after I conditioned them. I thought possibly in my case it was because I got the leather wet with water when it was too depleted of oils and waxes. It seems like the leather can tear more easily when it cracks like this. My gloves tore...
