Vintage Picking and Road Tripping with Dinerman

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Great story once again DM. I know that pain of turning up in a town and the vintage/charity shops are shut for no explicable reason! And some cool shots of the tiki bar - I wish we had stuff like that here!
The pleat back corduroy sounds interesting too - I'd love to see a picture if you're selling! I assume it's a blazer?

I once went to Filey and all the charity shops were shut except for one in which I got a couple of decent ties , sadly one of the other charity shops had a vintage section visible through the window with some decent looking stuff in it....oh the pain!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Ugh it's a terrible thing. What time of year did you go?

It would be late summer ish about two years since Eddie.....parking was surprisingly easy!......went on to Scarborough and got a couple of fifties/ sixties Harris tweed jackets and a few other good bits!

It's a blazer from the late '50s, the same brand and style worn by Elvis on the cover of "Elvis is Back!" and in "King Creole", by Cornel Wilde in "The Devil's Hairpin" and by Eddie Cochran.

My grail jacket! A 38?

 

[Dinerman]

A size 48. Never seen another that big.

 

[Dinerman]

Another quick vintage Americana stop. Off to Idaho this weekend, stay tuned.

Good luck and remember to take us along.

I love 'tripping with DM

 

[tropicalbob]

I don't think I've ever seen the words "Off to Idaho this weekend. Stay tuned." in print before.

[RJR]

Yes,Dinerman makes some great finds and takes us on interesting trips.

I have been following along in the hopes he scores so big guy stuff lol all his coats and jackets from the last trip were below a 42 and I was bigger than that when I was 12 LOL

 

[Dinerman]

I've been on a roll with the bigger vintage. Found a size 48 1950s corduroy last week, have a size 52 leather barnstormer up now.

I will just giving you a hard time Diner, I watch daily and there are plenty no offense meant and hope none taken. Tone can be hard to convey via text. Off to another topic, Idaho was one of my favorite states when I drove across country, looking forward to seeing the pics

Here's the first little bit from the road. The internet here is spotty at best. Made some good finds yesterday. We'll see what the rest of today and tomorrow turn up.
