found some OD wool trousers... not familiar with the brand. Thought they were issue at first. Anyone have any ideas as to when these might be from?

60s hunting pants?

[Happy Hooligan]

kind of look like german surplus...

[danii]

my father gave me pretty similar pants when i was kid. they were called 'kopřiváky' (nettles because they were unwearable without baselayers).

these were 1950s eastern germany/czechoslovakia/poland uniform pants used by police forces.

on the other hand nothing created back than did not use size 34, not to mention military sizing is much complex than just a number. and nothing in the eastern block used english company names.

to sum it up this post is no help at all:D

Anyone knows how to date old Pendletons? I bought this vintage Pendleton shirt for a ridiculous sum of money (50€), it's way to big but the plaid pattern is one of the nicest I've come across. I'm guessing it's not very old, maybe 70's.

I recently found another place that sells them for 20€, which I think is a fair price.

^This is a good place to start:

Mine has the woolmark label, so that means it's mid 70's to late 80's. What models are most desirable by collectors? The older the better?

The lady who owns the store where I found them for 20€ mentioned that she regularly gets Pendletons from the 30's and 40's, and that they are probably worth a lot more than whatever she's selling them for. She also sells big E type 3 jackets for 30€, which is a steal as most vintage stores around here will charge you around 200€ or more (even up to 250€ at Beyond Retro). I'm just waiting for her to get one in my size!

[Crat]

I picked this up from a thrift shop last week. I waxed the jacket a bit with Fjall Raven Greenland Wax, especially the shoulders, chest and upper back.

[rodeo bill]

hope this is the right place for this.... i was walking past christie's auction house in south kensington, london last night and saw these in the window:

Ernest Shackleton's pullover and medicine cabinet. It was closed when I was passing, don't know if there's anything more inside, but I thought this might be appreciated here!

Nice coat crat, but does not look right with dress shirt & shoes

[Crat]

Agree to disagree : )

(Those are boots btw)

[Thor]

They are very nice boots and, with such a superb patina, would look awesome with a blazer or tweed jacket.

I've been wearing military-style baker pants in HBT from both Bronson and TCB. But I wonder if you've taken a look at Brut? I noticed some nice military trousers there the other day...
