Vintage Workwear

[Henry Gondorff]

Thank you, Dan'l. It's in fact one of the most comfortable pants I ever had. It's original Denim, which means the drapery is very thick and hard, almost like canvas. Even cold weather like today isn't a problem for these pants. I just love it.

Well, it's bloody ancient. The cut is 1890s.


Has anyone checked out eBay's Clothing, Shoes & Accessories >Vintage >Men's Vintage Clothing >1930-46 category lately? Most of it is workwear. It wasn't so heavily workwear-oriented a few years ago.

No, no! I never do that! I don't have money for more clothes![angel][angel][angel]


But you are right about the workwear stuff. I have to admit it. The FL did push my interest (and desire) in vintage workwear very far. I am often find myself browsing for workwear stuff I can't afford. And if I find something affordable I am very tempted to go for it....just because I have seen it here or in the blogs of some members.

I wanted that jacket, and thought I could get it for under $100! So much for that.

The same seller had these S&P Headlights and regularly has other great stuff. I've got to find out where, in Ohio, he's shopping, and start getting there a little earlier.

I love this seller. He (or she) says, "...find a leg and add it on to make it a wearable pair of jeans, or put it on the wall as a trophy to be FRAMED and admired ! OR, PUT IT IN YOUR OWN DENIM MUSEUM AND CHARGE ADMISSION !"

Kinda takes "distressed" jeans to a whole new level . . .

Where am I going to find a human leg to add onto me?

the seller
The amazing thread on SuFu where he continues to post his finds from the mines.

.
Yes! A while back, I read a magazine article about this guy. Wild.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Is the book written in the same style as the ebay auctions? But yes. I did also read about the book and his finds in old mines. Wild stuff indeed.

 

[mattfink]

The book is pretty amazing and published by Schiffer...need I say more?

 

[Lefty]

for the guy with too much leg

Not too sure if these are classed as workwear but I know they were popular with outdoorsmen. I managed to be able to get my hands on these Northway heavy woolen outdoor pants in traditional Malone plaid. I was originally looking for woolen bib overalls but the ones I bid on went for silly money. I cannot find any information as to the manufacturer Northway does anyone out there know anything.

I picked these up at an estate sale. The glove bag will be my bandana bag.
