Hello, all! Got some stuff for sale on eBay. It's once again time for me to make some room in my closet.
First, an awesome 40s - 50s horsehide beltback jacket, with some awesome patina:

There are some issues, but it's a cool jacket, and pretty cheap. Roughly a size 38/40.
next, a similar jacket, in deerskin:

again, a few small issues, but cheap and old and cool. Supposedly a size 38 (which is exactly my size), and it looks great on me...but I can't zip it up cause the chest is too small. So this might be more of a 36 or something. If you never zip it, and you're a 38, this will look awesome on you. If you're a 36...well, this will look just as awesome, but you'll be able to zip it. Neat!
Next, I have a bunch of 50s - 60s eyeglasses. These are what many consider to be the Holy Grail of eyeglasses - original, vintage Tart Arnels. I stumbled onto a small stash of original vintage NOS Arnels, in amber and brownsmoke (two of the most coveted colors), and I paid a pretty penny for them, so they will not go cheap. But they are the cleanest, most pristine Arnels I've ever seen. I hand-polished all of the metal parts, so they all shine like new.
For your reference: Johnny Depp wears vintage Arnels in Amber in public quite a bit, and in Secret Window, he wore Brownsmoke Arnels. You can also see the awesome Michael Stuhlbarg wear Brownsmoke Arnels in the Coen Bros' A Serious Man (which is what got me into these frames in the first place). They are also seen all over "Mad Men."
Arnel in Amber:

Arnel in brownsmoke:

Those glasses auctions may not last long. I had another pair of Amber Tarts up, and within an hour of posting the auction, someone emailed me and offered me $800 for them. That's about what Amber typically sells for, and the Brownsmokes (in this color) go for $450 - $650. So, I'm sorry to say, if someone emails me and offers me those price ranges, I'm going to take it!
But I bought a whole bunch. PM me if you're interested - I have more that I have yet to put on eBay (I'm trying to sell them in waves).
I also have these Styl-Rite Guardsman frames:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170740048052?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
These are the frames that John Slattery wears, playing Roger Sterling in "Mad Men." (not these actual frames, but it was confirmed to me that these are what he wears.)
I have some more vintage clothing, jackets, and shirts mostly, that I will be listing between now and xmas, so check all of my auctions to see what other old awesome stuff I have. I'm trying to kick this reputation I have as a hoarder.
Thanks for looking! Feel free to pm me with questions.
