VV find
you guys have the Village up north??
They are sadly disappearing from the PNW
I think the one by our house is the last one left in Oregon and Washington (not sure if BC has any)

@Inorganic thanks
Somebody near Lloyd center has been on a real kick donating t-shirts of esoteric/avant jazz musicians
Keeping my eyes peeled for a sun ra tee next

@GraemeE I think I must, yes. Have never waxed anything before so it’ll be fun.
Now I sort of went down a bit of a Barbour rabbit hole and I’m looking at possibly getting a Beaufort. Love all those pockets! -
Not sure that would have been waxed, looks like a summer, unlined version of my International.
The International range would have been motorbike jackets back in the 60s (Steve McQueen wore one on the ISDT) but the complete lack of protection means they aren't used for that now.

@Inorganic all great finds
Are you going to re-purpose that mail bag into something?
-
@GraemeE not sure yet. Prolly just a tote - it’s pretty rad. The fella had it since college - 40 or so years ago.

@Inorganic love stuff with old stencil text

I feel like it was originally waxed but not totally sure. Picked some up on the weekend while checking out some of their jackets. Either way, I'm honestly not sure I can stop this inevitable waxie train I got on.

@Chibs Barbour has a model code in the pocket , if it starts with mwx it was waxed.
