1930's 1940's Argyle Sport Sweater

Another killer yet tiny sweater! This one ended for a healthy $200+ on eBay recently. Still looking for one in size large if anyone has a lead.

1920's 1930's Vintage Leather Cossack Jacket

Another amazing find that sold on eBay recently for just under $1,600. Bought by one of the usual suspects, this jacket has all the details that a lot of guys would give their right arm to have! Great patina and looks to be in pretty wearable condition to boot.












Chainstitched Levi's 507XX Type II Jacket

This is one of the most amazing Type II jackets I've ever seen! Complete with intricate chain stitching, it went for a cool $1,575 on eBay last week. Keep your eyes peeled for a Japanese or Thai repro...I'm sure one will eventually surface!
