1930'S HERCULES "RACER" BICYCLE

Today it's a very cool old bicycle I found at an estate sale.
 It's a Hercules Bike from England.
 I think it's been made into a "racer" style back in the late 30's.
 You can see the leather seat is gone.  I'll need a new one of those.
 Amazing Hercules cast in the front gear.
 And yes, it's original 1942 Los Angeles Bicycle License!
 With a nice set of dry rotted United States Special Racer Bike Tires!  I'm going to really enjoy getting this old beauty back on the road.

1948 AMERICAN FIELD GUN COAT HUNTING COAT

Today it's an amazing old Hunting Jacket I just picked up.
From American Field Gun Coats.   This one made before 1948.  Original Ohio Hunting License sewn to the back!   Very, Very cool.
This jacket is super heavy canvas and extremely well built.
 Padded spiderweb gun shoulder.
 Very nice details on the pockets too.
 The back with the sewn on license. 
 Hidden game pouch on the front... 
 Like the half moon, but without the moon.
 Talon fan tailed zippers too!
 This was actually a set if you can believe it.  I got the coat, shirt, pants, and a hat!  All from the same guy.   The jacket even had an old pair of leather gloves in the pocket and a box of matches in the pants pocket... MORE PICS TO COME OF THE LOT!   It's Vintage Gear for Guys!

LEFT FIELD NYC INDIGO DYED CHINO UPDATE

Today it's an update on a pair of White Oak Cone Mills Indigo Dyed Chinos made by the wonderful Left Field NYC.
I've been rocking these for a year now and they've turned out just wonderful.
 The natural dyed indigo really turned out well.  Almost like jeans, these chinos have real character.
 The fit is spot on and has been for the year I've owned them.  
And just in case you forgot how they looked when I got them...
Get yourself a pair!   It's Vintage Gear for Guys!
