I found this plaid wool fur-lined hunting coat jacket today. I thought about buying it to sell ... for five seconds!
I realized it fit me perfectly and I have nothing like it. So, I'm dealing with the vintage seller's number one problem: don't keep the merchandise.
But, it's alright. I think I can handle it. Ha.
This '60s piece is a beauty. The wool is in great vintage condition and it's made by the H Bar C Ranchwear western wear line. I've sold a few pieces by them over the years. I love that the label is still intact. That's such a gift.
And the faux fur interior is the softest thing. This jacket is incredible and in 14 years of selling vintage, I can tell you I haven't come across one quite like this.
I belong in an episode of Yellowstone while wearing it. That's my take on it, anyway.
I also found a vintage mug (I'm keeping it for now) and a couple of denim items that will end up in the shop.
So this jacket is beautiful, unique, and rare and I'm putting it into my coat closet for now. But as with all my vintage clothing, it always has the potential to end up in the shop.
Even though I wasn't wearing this jacket when I left the house this morning, I'd say this outfit counts as my vintage outfit of the day for this week.
Head over to the shop if you're looking for classic vintage clothing. The whole shop is 20% off through the end of March.
