Bought this shawl collar sweater in brown at the Rugby store at University Place.

The in store sale price is better than the website.

Because I am very sad, I can tell you these will date almost deffinately to 1939.

Because I am very sad, I can tell you these will date almost definitely to 1939.

Unfortunately, still another ten days before I get so see them in person (they shipped to Maryland instead of Halifax).
What's that date based on, Ben? Pattern? Markings?

My Real McCoy's NZ A-2 in buttery-soft seal horsehide.
Pattern is the Rough Wear 16159, a 1941 contract, worn by Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.
This is a great layering A-2 for the cold months. The collar is extra deep (too high for a fedora when raised, in fact!)

Hat by Champ. Shades by CVS Drug. Stubble by default.

I picked this up for 6 bucks... original promotional hand out for the lost silent German film starring Paul Wegener, the Strange Case of Captain Ramper!

Starring the man who earlier portrayed the Golem, this film is one part Tarzan, one part King Kong and completely lost to the ages!

I think their shawl sweaters are very cool!
sorry for the large format, but here's a great golden era example...

Wow! This is really great! Did you find it local?

New shoes!

I don't actually have these yet. I hope I will like them in real life!

My father wore white shoes quite often, and as a child one of my jobs was shining his shoes. So now I like white shoes and I'm always on the look out for nice ones. These are Peal & Co. and are supposed to be hand made English shoes. Nice white dress shoes are surprisingly hard to find, I'm keeping my fingers crossed these will work out.

Grab bag of trousers

I took a chance on this odd lot of trousers. There seems to be at least one pair that will actually fit me. The rest, depending on what I find, will be disposed of miscellaneously. Apparently this was from someone who rented costumes to movie productions. She said she'd look for the matching jackets in the huge truck load of stuff they came in.

It was through ebay, but the seller was in Brooklyn! Go figure, pretty weird! I've only ever seen artwork for it once, and it wasn't this!

I'm trying to figure out the best way to display it as it's double sided :eusa_doh:

Feraud- Great ties! Love the owls.

Fletch- Beautiful leather, it suits you!

I'm going back a ways in this thread but I thought some of you might have an interest in herringbonekid's sweet jacket and the company that made it:

single breasted very high peaked lapel, TWO breast patch-pockets (with inverted pleats), semi-patch pockets (i have one flap in and one out, don't ask why), no vents, micro navy/white dogtooth linen/wool blend, semi translucent buttons. not early 30s. brand new.

i found it in Liberty's, London. it's by a designer brand called 'haversack'. i can find NOTHING about them online !

the rest of their stuff didn't look 30s. i'm thinking it might be a one off fluke.

Here's some info I found about the company:

Haversack

The concept of haversack is to produce a contemporary modern collection inspired by military detail.

Hand made to the highest standard in Japan.

All the dying processes are done using natural colours - example tea.

Created by Mr Koji Norihide.

Voted the best collection at New York's fasion week.

Sold exclusively at Van Mildert, Sunderland - Liberty's London - Brown's South Molton Street London.

Some of their stuff is very vintage-inspired and military-esque:

A couple of RL bowties.

I really like some of the RL pointed bows I've seen, I wish I could afford one.

I watch eBay for ties, but I've not yet seen a self-tie pointed bow on the UK Bay. I've not found any in brick-and-mortar shops in Leeds, either. Maybe on on trip to London I'll find one.
