Featured Kool late 40's early 60's jacket

looks like your gonna need to get sommit double breasted instead monsieur bosko

 

my long time favourite (had for about 15-20 years)

more teeth than shane McGowan......ish (used too)

no longer zips

so time to get a new one this coming winter (i'm freezing as it is )

so will i throw this one away ????...........you wanna fight ?

 

now u no why the Ottawa team is called the Red Blacks !

 

yep good old american woolrich (swear by them) and why its probably lasted a good pelting by me an probably others for say 50-70 years

next ones gonna be.............(see above)

 

You could probably take that jacket somewhere and have a new zipper put in. You'd likely get another 50 years out of it, so a good investment.

 

............now why didn't i think of that !

 

think they were outdoorsy hunting types, so made to endure a bit of weather i would think

 

That was the first thing I thought. But I am Dutch, don't want to spend money if I still have a good jacket.
Overhere there are some dry cleaners who do it, and Turkish and Middle Eastern tailors.

 

i'd like to see the look on my face if somewhere suggested putting in a plastic one

 

Impossible to buy something new with the same quality. Worth investing in, metal zipper et. al.

Saw 'Borsalino' as lad.Of course I'd seen 'Breathless' (Belmondo) and Delon in 'Le Samouri'. Delon was a glamour boy like Terence Stamp (RIP) or Warren Beatty,while Belmondo had a great hound dog face like the old Yves Montand.

 

I've got a late 30's/very early 40's leather US Army flight jacket (M 422-A). There's sources that carry authentic,correct NOS Talon military zippers. Might restore it one day-who knows ?

 

The Shirt-Jac has IMHO leather buttons-

 

ah.......gotta love a duffle button........ damn it again

 

given the near freezing conditions (typical autumn everyone else feels here )

i'm gonna go for one of them leather fur flying caps i think this winter.......had a near perfect one once but a size or two too small

gotta be military issue though like the too small one was

 

you'll be quite the stylish gentleman !!!

 

Chas-You know what a hat fetish I have,estate find a few years back.
Bloomin' thing fit-a keeper.
PS-Found it after I'd bought a cheapo online few yrs before!

 

really like these kinds the best

 

That's a classic mate,3 killer shots-

 

yeah i really like that first one the second is very cool as well but think i'd feel a little more of a tit in it.............glastonbury though........ definitely
