[Flat Foot Floey]

I've sent you a PM about a couple of jackets I have.

Mr. Garrulus, if the jackets are your size buy em! I saw the pictures. The lapels are great!

Yeah I am going to buy the third alternative. The two other ones are too big for me. Good thing that this forum exists.

Two Types, please clear a little of your inbox so I could contact you.

Sorry. Been called away from home on a family emergency. Back in next couple of days.

Hope everything is allright!

I bought this for $8.50. MASSIVE waistband, and great brand name!!

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Just these gloves by Meyers Make. The price wasn't bad either at 11$.

 

[herringbonekid]

very nice !

(the gloves and the sweater)

 

[Metatron]

I like how tight the waistband is!

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Them's just the gloves you're looking for, herring, no?

 

[herringbonekid]

indeed... for my monochrome 20s get up.

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Haha, I didn't guess the main topic would be drifting towards my new gloves. I was the vintage store on Wednesday and asked if the didn't have any grey gloves in, no they didn't have. Today I decided just to pop in to see if anything new had arrived and then I saw the gloves!

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Got this stroller/stresemann jacket today. I am really liking it since it's hard to find these kind of jackets here. I don't think I have ever even seen one...

Also I made a discovery inside of one of the pockets. I'm just wondering who would throw cigarette stump into his pocket? Well maybe the former owner didn't want to litter.

 

[GoldenEraFan]

Beautiful cover. Did you buy it just because of it or because of the song?

I bought the record because of the song. I actually like Window Cleaner number 2 more than Formby's first version.

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Sigh, once again it is me who shows his purchases..

Old trousers with a fishtail back, beautiful stitching next to the pockets and buttons featuring (I assume) the tailors name. Was that even common back in the days that tailors had buttons with their own name?

A frock coat, sadly one of the buttons are missing, I'll guess that I have to replace them all.

A close-up of the lapels, what decade do you think this coat is from? 1920's? 1910? Maybe even from 1900's.

Ebay purchase? Did it come with a waistcoat?

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Actually I found them both at a second-hand store, tried to find a waistcoat but didn't find any. I'm not sure if they belong together as they were sold separately but I could assume they do.

 

[nihil]

Ah ok, nevermind then. I've just sold a frock coat with trousers and waistcoat, lats week. It was, as far as I can see, identical to the one you got. Hence my curiosity weather we both frequented this forum

 

[herringbonekid]

Was that even common back in the days that tailors had buttons with their own name?

yes, quite common. seems to have died out around the mid 50s (like almost everything did).

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Really quite rare. Original reversible 1930s golf jacket in Macintosh fabric, and made by the Macintosh company:

So there it is. Wonderful jacket. It looks really short though (I remember you mentioned this).

BTW: Were raglan sleeves common on this kind of jacket?
