1950's SILK ''NATIONAL SHIRT SHOPS''  HAWAIIAN SHIRT.
With collar loop and double breast pockets.
In almost DEADSTOCK condition. 

Perfect 38 to 40!!

Vintage 1940's DELMONICO rayon western shirt.

rare!!

1940's WW2 USN deck jacket.
Depending how you view the world will depend on how you view this piece.
For me, this is perfect!!
You could walk into walmark and buy a jacket but that jacket wouldn't be able to tell stories like this one can.
This thing was in battle, it has been threw hell and it's come out the other side fucking perfect!!
USN stencil on left breast side is still present, very faint, but still there.

ART!!

I had to distort the photo a little bit in order to show you the stencilling on the back of the jacket, it is still very hard to see, but it reads ''FAW'G 150''...I think? 

Fits me perfectly!!

VINTAGE 1970's 100% cotton PUBLIC IMAGE LTD (pil) bootleg tour t-shirt.
Amazing led paint graphics!!
You just can't beat 70's bootleg tee's for rarity and originality, they are always just a little bit...off.  

You see alot of bootleg tee's with tag's from PAKISTAN or INDIA.
Back in the 70's the dudes that were knocking these gems up in the garages were all about making bucks and cutting corners, and buying the cheapest possible cotton tee's from Pakistan was just one of many ways they did that.
First wash normally they would shrink down about 2 sizes, thats why when you find them they look so blown out!!

1970's patchwork/embroidered bell bottom USN jeans.

This is with out a doubt the best pair of custom patchwork jeans that i have EVER!! found.
AMAZING!!
Sear brand USN style dungarees, from the wear to skill of the embroidery and the random decay and damage.
and very nice wiskering on the top half.
They are perfect!! 



1940's ''Richard Brothers'' ARISTOCRAT SKY-RANGER  jacket.

40's Conmar bell zipper

Side buckles

Great tag!!

1950's 2-tone reversible WILSON varsity jacket.

This is seriously an amazing vintage find.
One thing that  never find is cool varsity jackets, they are  in my face everyday and i turn hundreds away, but this one is very unique and special.

Wool on the Blue side and Yellow silk on the other!!
There is a bit of water damage on the yellow side.

SO AWESOME!!!

Size 36 late 40's to early 50's WILSON tag.

Not to sure of the year on this amazing indigo denim chore jacket.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!! 

I am familiar with ''PEABODY'' but Kitchen i have never herd of?
And because i know ''PEABODY'' i am really only guessing that this chore is a collaboration between the 2 brands?
Just a guess though.  

I am assuming that these wreath buttons are post WW2??

1950's CAN'T BUST EM painters overalls.
With pouch!!
GOLD LABEL!!!

1940's BSA (Boy Scouts America) shirt. 

Original shank buttons ''BE PREPARED'' embossed on them. 

Gussets!!

40's tag.

UGWA tag present in top left breast pocket.


FRESH FINDS!!!

Here is my latest batch of goodies!! Some for sale, some not!!

1930's 2-tone shawl collar curling sweater

Collar loop (chin strap) still present

Is this a EATON tag?
it would make sense being a Canadian sweater and that EATON has been around since the late 1800's .
But the middle letter or letters are confusing to me.
Any info or thoughts would be appreciated.
