Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

[Nacho]

Someone on here owns the button up version, and he thinks it’s LA Sport Togs. No label in mine though

Argh, just when I'm trying to get away from this forum, you pull me back in. Should have disabled the email notification!

Well, I'm here now.

It's a CSC. For the records, I've never said it's a LA Sports Tog. I also speculate that it might have the Sears Topline label. Beautiful hide and excellent pattern. And the two-tone to boot. What more can you ask for in a jacket, huh?

This dude is on its way to the great state of Illinois for some touchups actually. Should receive it back after the holidays.

Here is the original

Hope you all doing well.

I think I know the jacket. If it is fact this one, it’s a tad different. Both are California Sportswear.

I stand corrected! My memory is crap

Thanks for clarifying @jeo!

Yeah sorry, I totally mis-remembered the discussion between you and jeo.

Yours is spectacular!

1940s sportclad wool sport jacket. A nice contrast to the blue one I have. The wool is also thicker too.

Another wool half-belt that is stunning. I can see the thicker wool. I have some with different weights of wool. They advertised them by weight.

I am amazed at the beautiful patterns/colors in these wools. This is particularly nice in the darker tones.

Yuletide Greetings to Everyone,

Here is my favourite winter dress coat. It is my late Grandfather's Harris Tweed coat from the late 1940's. One giveaway of the age of the coat is the pocket watch pocket above the main pocket on the right. Delightfully warm and understated elegant coat.

Something a little different. My browns beach jacket and vest combo. Super warm and cozy during these chilly days! I also own a pair of workwear trousers as well.
