Does This Qualify As a "Holy Grail" Item?

It looks more 1930s than 40s. What's your expert opinion? Anyone?

Well, I am not Marc, but it sure looks very interesting and a good possibility for it!

That thing's wild. It looks like its price is going to be also.

Way too small and out of my price range, but much to my surprise I actually really like that one. Looks better close up - I thought the tan leather looked wrong against 'black', but I see in the detail shot those 'black' stripes are actually green.

That's a pretty killer jacket.

^^ That's a sweet jacket you got there. The pattern is almost identical to the one on ebay. If I could have one custom made for $200, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Off the subject, I thought my thread was removed for breaking the rules. I just stumbled on to it in the 'Outerwear' forums.

Marc is no longer posting.... he told me to let anyone know that may be looking for him that he's taking an extended break. Maybe PM him and see if he'll answer you

I'm very sorry to hear that; he's one of my favorite posters, and I always miss his contributions when takes a break from the Lounge.

I am too.... he's one of the reasons the Lounge is and was great. I'll miss him and I hope he comes back soon.

Ouch. That's a live auction. I'd sure be upset if I were bidding on that item!
Also I suspect Himmelator will be more interested in this one than Marc.

Ouch. That's a live auction.

Funny, before Marc left he had been posting dozens of live auctions, very few of them his.

 

[ButteMT61]

Hmm. Marc was around just recently, but sorry to hear he's on sabbatical...

Marc is a vintage clothing guru. When Jon Lundberg passed away, I was wondering who'd fill his big shoes. Marc is the man. BTW, that jacket sold for 4 figures. Holy Grail!!
