1950s Mackinaw bought for a song.

[Sloan1874]

Picked this Mackinaw up on eBay for £20. Incredibly warm, in fantastic condition - you'd hardly know it was 60-odd years old (thanks to Dinerman for the ID) - and with more pockets than I'll ever need. It's labelled a 38, but fits like a 36.

Great find. :eusa_clap

Excellent find. Congrats on the buy

Cheers. Couldn't believe it when it went for such a low price - I guess people are just not in a winter coat state of mind at the mo'. It's not that heavy, well, compared to say a FQHH jacket it's not, but blimey it'll keep the wind out in the worst of weather.

Great find and fits you well. They're kind of growing on me, and I think this is probably the nicest one I've seen so far.

Been looking for one for a long time in fat size(44+). A great score there and a great colour too.

Thanks! I was surprised that the jacket had such a low starting price. Guess the guy isn't a FL-er!

Great score and even better price. I have one too and love it it gets the most wear in winter. I have a Filson Double Mack but it needs to get seriously cold to break that one out.

It's amazing how well made and how inexpensive these coats can be. I have a stack of them which I couldn't give away at $10 a piece.

Lovely. I really love the lace-up 30's trousers that go with these type of jackets too

 

[splintercellsz]

I love how those look. I need to look into aquiring some now!
