1940s Hercules Brown horsehide jacket in good vintage condition for $150? Good deal? What do y'all thing resale value would be? Probably size 48 chest I would assume. Red quilt lined. Let me know quick like.

I don't know the resale for that jacket urb. You would need the right buyer. If it was my size I would have taken it.

I went ahead and bought it. The lining is in mint condition. I'll put it on ebay for a ridiculous price and wear it in the meantime. It was the most expensive thing in the vintage store in Toronto. The women said that many people commented on that jacket and it was the first time they had seen a Hercules jacket in real life.

I'm at the GFs house so the pics are shit. I will def get better ones up, just to document this beast.
(tag reads) "Hercules Front Quarter Horsehide"
40s - Half Belt(?) Jacket with Red Quilt lining.
I'm assuming it came with a belt but it's missing.
Also got this other amazing looking jacket
(Tag reads): "California Creations Leather" Made in USA sz44
Got it for $50 in Toronto
Never heard of the name but it's got to be 30+ years old. It's so fucking heavy and tough. Super thick quilt lining. Not like some shitty Wilson Leathers jacket.

Carter's Watch The Wear denim sherpa lined vest. $6.

Had some great finds today!! First was an original Brown's Beach Jacket!!!
Then I found a pair of Carter's overalls in great condition!
not bad for a total of $30!!

Liking both Riff.
Been looking for some nice non-Carhartt vintage overalls for awhile just havent found the right pair.
Those look great. -

Well, I'm sure I'll run across some one day. Who knows, maybe I'll go for some IH ones.
I don't know what it is but here in Toronto there are tons of Carter and Oshkosh shit. I'm bound to find a pair I like, just don't want a super worn pair, I want more of a dead stock condition. Denim, duck, or hickory I don't care.
edit: found some, might get them

its a strange navy blue salt and pepper…. worsted wool i think? very thick but fairly lightweight and really warm. feels almost like a super thick sweatshirt.
