Great Find

[The_Yank]

So, as my Log in says I am a Yank... which is why finding a Harris Tweed Caldene wool hunt coat that fits like it was made for me at my local tack consignement was a huge deal to me. Now it had 2 small and one .6-.8 cm holes in it (darn moths), so it is off at the cleaners and taliors getting fixed up. I know it is vintage, but I am interested in seeing what decade... I am thinking "60's". I wasn't smart enough to take a photo of the tags before leaving it. Is there anywhere I can find photos of vintage tags? (I will, I promise get photos to the tags to post).


Thanks in advance,
The Yank!

Try Googling for sites selling vintage hunt clothing and see if you can see someone selling a jacket that looks like yours - or can you describe the tags if you can't get a picture up?

The trailer and pony were not with our group, it was a huge meet. That was actually a "cheap farm (3 horse slant)" rig compared to "some" (not mine) that showed up. Mine is a nice little bumper pull with the same size truck... big enough to go, but not so big the entire barn comes too...
