He received his honorable discharge in the '62, so could have been right around there. I make no claim at knowing for sure...just going on what I was told when it was passed down.

I've not seen much mention of Haversack on this forum.

I spent a long time looking for a good pea coat. This is almost an inch thick in places and the quality surpasses anything else I've ever come across and I include Buzz Rickson / Mr. Freedom.

hey i am selling a buzz rickson cpo in size 42 for 170 right now - it's an awesome shirt. i am trying to get the scratch together to get the 44. at any rate, pretty solid deal, thought someone may be interested.

I wanted a vintage style utility cap, so I made one last night... not bad, not perfect, but it's just my first try at this...

I love Haversack and I believe you are right, they don' get enough attention on here. That P Coat is awesome. I'd love to see one in person.

I'm selling a pair of Buzz Rickson 1942 (size 32) Chinos for 90 bucks. I just tried them on after losing a fair amount of weight, and they're a bit too loose in the waist. They've hardly been worn. PM me!

Great work! I always love to see people making their own stuff. Can't rep.

I finally got a pair of Pointer fisher stripe pants in the correct size. There's not a lot of pictures of these around, so here's me in 32x34:

[marineabilly]

hollowsleather, great posts!! I have those Lee's and haven't worn 'em in AGES. Those pics are inspiration to wear 'em this weekend. Thanks!

Those Pointers are sweet!

[rkusmant]

Nick, how does the pointer pants shrink? I just get the hickory stripe one and it's a little loose in the waist, the herringbone is cool but doesn't come in 36 inseam.

[hollowsleather]

I'm not sure since I haven't washed mine yet, but the fabric seems pretty stretchy. I'm not sure if the two fabrics will have the same shrinkage and stretch factors though, since the weave is different.

[rkusmant]

yeah, I guess I'll throw in hot/warm wash, no need to worry about indigo loss this time.

[robbie]

I saw this Spiewak waxed N-1 on endclothing

I wish I had the cabbage for it...

[Happy Hooligan]

that's a sweet jacket... why would they put polyester sleeve linings on it?

the price isn't a deal breaker...

[robbie]

that is kind of weird.

and no the price isn't ridiculous, but i'm broke as a joke.

[superBobo]

hollows, cool pics! And the pointers are cool. Im curious, how did you size them? Are they true to tagged or vanity sized?

[hollowsleather]

Thanks Bobo, mine were true to size, 32 for a 32 waist.

[jasonfoote303]

that's a sweet jacket... why would they put polyester sleeve linings on it?

the price isn't a deal breaker...

sleeve linings are usually made of nylon or polyester satin for durability and so arms can slide into them nicely. even really good jackets often have bemberg linings, which is a man made fiber.

[Happy Hooligan]

I realize the purpose of the smooth linings... The point was it is a "vintage Jacket". They didn't scrimp on the real mutton or wool lining... They could have used a fabric from the time to line the sleeves. What are real vintage deck jackets lined in?

Ahh, I see your point.

I'd say since the 50's or so sleeve linings would probably be rayon or nylon. before that: cotton? silk? wool?

Buzz Rickson would know!

I don't think Spiewak is always the most authentically motivated brand

still, very nice jacket for the price

My vintage navy N-1

Considering the workshirts go for $3-400 a piece this is a steal at $90 IMO, someone should buy this jacket:

Used Hercules Denim Work Jacket
