Belt loop I keep my keys on.

Outsides of knees turned in towards each other.

I've always called them suede trucker jackets, don't know that they have any more specific name.

I see the '60s version often go on the bay for usually just under or at $100- the '50s version, which I think you have there, generally goes for more.

This is BS, right?:

Reading glasses are a buck a pop at the pharmacy - get a pair, you old fart!

.

Guess I can't take offense, since I'm not nearly the most gray-headed RxC contestant, eh? Eh?

^jlaz- Levi's made slightly different versions of that jacket from the '50s through the early '70s.

The shorthorn label was used in from the early '40s through the '50s, I think, so that jacket may be from farther back than '63.

Best shot. Ever.

Has anyone else got their Lucky 13 shirts? Post them pics, yo.

Jimmy, you're sending the Ts out after tour legs are completed, yes?

Yep. I agree with you.

Who are you again?

Awesome posts, all, Daniel! You're going to miss Africa, aren't you?

I'll just throw this out there, not particularly at D since a lot of people have been doing this lately- I'm really not a fan of people making their pictures just a little (or a lot) larger than everyone else's (640pixels wide). It probably sounds like a good idea, but all it ends up doing is making me zoom out so I can see the whole picture, so I end up seeing them the same size anyway, but with the text illegibly small.

Maybe I'm just old and cranky.

Very nice cash. I owe you an over-heated pug rep. Pugs. Even their suffering is cute.

Paul- a really lovely batch of photos. And nice to know that, although you move in rarified circles, you still do your own floors.

A vintage store. SF has some of the best vintage shops in the country. Hard to find a real bargain, but amazing to look through. These were a pretty good deal, I think, $35 each.

Another German-made shirt I found at the same place. Looks to be older, maybe 1930s? I can't figure what this was intended for. It looks sort of like a bib-front dress shirt, but the material is kind of coarse. I would guess a night-shirt, but there are spaces for shirt studs at the collar and cuffs, kind of formal for sleep wear. The buttons are really cool- cut out of actual shell. You can see the curve and part of the rind on each button. The shoulders are elaborately pieced together.

A German made henley I found last week. Not sure of the era, but I'm guessing 1940s or earlier. The cloth-covered buttons are especially nice.

Why don't we change the subject.

Who likes 201s?!?

Alright show-offs riff, thinnfinn, etc- I make big pic too-

Damn you to hell, man.

edit- because I'm jealous, of course. I never made it to Roscoes.

It is sad that this thread has come down to this . . . .

Mind you, Roy's pantaloons could go on there

.

Also, 201s, 333s, 646s, 505s, balloons and cihinos. Think of all the glory you'll be missing, Paul.

Nice post of the 22s. I never have seen much about the 27s- How did they go wrong?

^They look great, as do the buttons.

The stars on the ceiling of Grand Central station are described in one of my favorite books- A Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. I've read about them before but never seen them. Thanks!

^True, the 501 Visual Guide is an invaluable resource, but slackerT has neglected to include the 606. Bloody literal-minded. Or maybe just lazy?

edit- I know robbie's post was for jlaz. My criticism stands.

Roy i had a pair i bought and returned a few years back. they were indeed an inch over in the waist but very trim everywhere else. i found these tricky to fit because of the cut and ultimately returned mine.

Thanks.

So the waist fit you okay, but too trim elsewhere? Was the rise especially low?

Great stuff, jlaz.

I don't see anything wrong with a few denim pieces turning up here, maybe cross post to the vintage denim thread too?
