    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

            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.

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

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

                              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.

                                    Very random… Picked up this book at the local thriftstore for 15 €... Google'd it, it goes for 150 $ in poor nick... Mine has a tear on the front cover, but is as new otherwise... Cool...

                                        It's one of the craziest books I leafed through… Absolutely stellar how it's put together...

                                          Black Orchid, being an artist herself, sighed "oh I wish I had that Book" when she saw your score Seul.
