@riffblaster:

ive never seen a hercules leather jacket before.

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.

half belt means tha belt like piece in the back…

If you have not got, you should get, the My Freedamn! books, they'll help you ID a lot of this stuff….

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

[riffblaster general]

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

What's the fabric Riff - BTW, amazing find …..

[riffblaster general]

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.

i have NEVER seen one of these outside of extremely expensive vintage shops.

let me know if you would like to see more pics.

btw…..i would LOVE to see Haraki's take on something like this.

Not really a thrift store score, but a cheap, 2ndhand score so hell here goes…

Pristine condition!..

[riffblaster general]

[madmonday]

[Seul]

[Seul]
