Seabiscuit style mackinaw on ebay (small size)

[Flat Foot Floey]

Not bad, huh? Not cheap nor a big size but since the movie was mentioned quite a few times for it's inspirational wardrobe ...

PS: No, it's not the same jacket but I think it is close.

i bid on that but didn't get past the reserve. now it's been re-listed with a higher starting price.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

It's a beauty. Shame about the reserve. I still think it's unfair.

 

[herringbonekid]

i think it's early 30s rather than 20s as the seller states.

They're great jackets. I have a MASSIVE one that I tried to sell here and on eBay, but no bites.

Now that's a beauty. I really love the colors on that one.

 

[herringbonekid]

as it happens i already own a cardigan very similar to the one in the film still above
(branded oddly enough 'King O Winter'... the jacket is 'King O Wear'):

... so i could put that whole outfit together if i 'win' this jacket (not that i'm a fedora wearer).

oh, and a blue chambray shirt:

does anyone here NOT own a blue chambray shirt ?

Wow. It's really great. Congrats! Now find a horse with broken leg and tell him everything is gonna be ok.

 

[herringbonekid]

Do you still have it? What does MASSIVE mean in this context? Big size or heavy fabric?

 

[herringbonekid]

Floz, i believe this is the Barons' Mackinaw that he had for sale:

Ah thank. Even too big for me. Now should I be sad that it won't fit or glad that I am not called MASSIVE? Haha.

The thread also mentions the "Canadienne" term for french ebay. And I thought I found something out :eusa_doh:
