More info on the vest please! Is it by Kapital or something older (Browns) with similar styling?

[sabergirl]

Nice. Is it huge?

Fairly certain that's a legit vintage Brown's Beach vest. I've always hoped I would stumble into an old thrift store in Massachusetts one day and find one of these for $5 or something.

You and me both. I love my IH version but a vintage would be amazing.

It is in fact an original.  I let out a little yelp in the thrift store when I found it.

Wow man, what size is it? IMO, your best find yet and that is saying something

[riffblaster general]

It's a 44.  Looks to be a bit of an older one because it's definitely short. Obviously meant to be worn with high waisted pants.  I've seen a few others and I actually had a jacket a couple years ago and they all seemed to be a little longer.

And thanks!  I'm really stoked on this one!

Found these Eastland oxfords and a deadstock 80's new era mesh Red Sox hat yesterday. Not too shabby.

Those Oxfords are brilliant…

[riffblaster general]

I like em. Pretty comfy.  Made in China unfortunately but I'm not complaining for a couple dollars!

Second hand gear, I never care where it's made…

Oddity at the bootsale today, pair of Wrangler chairs, guy got off said he got them in the 70's from the showroom as he supplied their jeans for his store, Shame their not lee or Levi but cool for a fiver!

[riffblaster general]

those are really cool

[panda_693]

Cheers pal, Cant decide what to do to them yet, wether to replace the seat on both or just do some repairs to the one thats battered

[riffblaster general]

I think it would look pretty amazing if you took the upholstery off and had it repaired on a darning machine.

Nice chairs! I say repair the seat, too. The wear on the original canvas looks great.

Check out what I scored the other day:

It's in great shape, got that fantastic tin-cloth funk smell…

DANG!  That's awesome!!  To get rid of the funk mix in another essential oil when you wax it next time.
