Keeping warm vintage Boy Scouts of America style. Vintage 60's-70's red wool blend official jacket.

I love the large red buttons on this one. 85% wool, 15% nylon. I cleaned this one up but there are a few faint dark spots that remain. It's so bright you can't notice them, but pointed out in photos up close. A couple inside one sleeve and one on the front beneath pocket. Fits like a small.

Measurements
● Shoulder seam- 16"
● Chest- 18" pit to pit (36" chest or smaller)
● Same garment width through waist to hem
● Length- 26"
● Sleeve- 23" from shoulder seam

A little fancy and a little bad ass... Vintage 60's-70's Cherry red Suede open sided vest with black leather lace up sides and trimmed pocket.

I am going to recommend this one for someone who isn't petite or super short waisted like I am, I think it would look best on an average build as it fit a little longer through the bust and torso than what works for my body and my big old hips sort of made it bunch up on me. The sides are open so this can fit a larger bust size too.

Excellent clean condition. Satin smooth lining and all seams are solid! No stains or holes.

Measurements- fits like a small/med
● Arm opening to opening at shoulder- 15"
● Bust- open at sides, can fit 34" up to about 40" when I take the circumference with the vest pulled out but I think it would hang more properly somewhere between a 34-38" bust.
● Length- 22"
● bottom of vest at hips- best fit 38" or under

Cutest vintage 60's-70's denim blue raincoat! Adorable collar, houndstooth lining, cool fancy metal snaps, white contrast stitching, I just love all these details!

This jacket did once have a zip out lining, but they were separated at some point through the decades. Wears beautifully as a nice lightweight shell. The belt has a double snap where you can alow for a little more room in thr waist.

No stains or visible flaws on the outside. There are some seam separations inside the lining at arms, but still holds together fine. My repair pile is ridiculous right now so I am pricing as is. Wouldn't be a hard fix, and wears fine as is as long as it's your proper size.

Cotton poly blend outer with water repellent treatment and a nylon lining. Freshly cleaned and has a slight detergent odor still present that will fade with wear, but if that bothers you, pass it up.

Measurements
● Shoulder seam- 16"
● Chest- pit to pit, 20" (40" chest or smaller)
● Waist- 32" to 35" first snap and second snap
● Hips- free up to 42"
● Length- 34"
● Sleeve- 23" from shoulder seam

1950's Woolrich Mackinaw jacket. Always loved this plaid! Nice deep dark red and black. Pretty dang good condition for it's age!

Are you ready for a pocket total? This guy has 8! (9 if you count that there are two ways in to the large back pocket.) Jacket closes by buttons hidden beneath a top panel. Beautiful large rounded collar and super soft lining that almost feels like a microsuede. Two chest pockets, two slit pockets beneath those and to the side, two large bottom pockets, one inside pocket, and one full large panel back pocket.

Condition is good but here's the flaws (none of which seem very noticeable at all during wear! Pictured is some fraying on sleeve cuff, the sleeve lining has some holes as well but there's a knit elastic sleeve cuff layer beneath in perfect shape. One small seam separation inside lining at one arm about an inch you can see in the lining picture. I also replaced one sleeve button and it doesn't match perfectly, but it's not noticeable unless you are really looking. These are quality made and will go on to last for many more decades in my opinion!

Measurements
● Shoulder seam- 18"
● Chest- 23" pit to pit (46" chest)
● Same width to hem
● Length- 30.5" shoulder to hem
● Sleeve- 23.5" from shoulder seam (will fit longer on smaller shoulder frame)

Floral Peplum Prairie! Offering up this dress I purchased from a few years ago and I am happy to have had some opportunities to love and wear her, sadly she's not fitting these days and shouldn't live a life tucked away in a closet. Such a beautiful dress with colorful bouquets 💐 ribbon trim, lace up bodice, tie back waist, and peplum styled top.

The labels are quite faded, quite possibly a Gunne Sax. You can make out that it is 100% cotton, and originally a size 7 (from the 70's) Dress has a Talon zipper one side for ease of getting on but it does not unzip fully so pay mind to measurements. Excellent condition for it's age. All seams are solid, no holes or stains.

Measurements
● Shoulder seam- 14.5"
● Bust- 34" strict or under
● Armscye- 14"
● Sleeve opening- 12"
● Waist- 26" or under (ties as tight as you prefer)
● Hips- max 37" or under
● Length- 40"
● Bodice length- 13" top of shoulder to top of waist

This sweater from the 90s has that perfect slouchy cozy vibes in a warm tan knit. Perfect casual sweater for fall.

These were my favorite Wranglers in my wardrobe for a bit while they fit! They have a nice slim straight leg fit and slim hip and give perfect wrangler butt!

I feel like Wranglers are hit and miss, but honestly it's my made in Mexico pairs that seem to fade and wear in my favorite way from the 80's and 90's, or the made in usa pairs from the 70's. I believe this pair is 90's. So anyway, they sn**ch those hips in nice and slim and I loved them and wish they still fit! Just going to keep looking better with more wash and wear. Made in Mexico of US fabric. 100% cotton no stretch.

No flaws to note, they have fade and a little more fade at the knees. Take into account these are closer to a mid rise. They fit nice and slim.

Measurements
● Waist- 26.5" relaxed up to 28" super tight
● Rise- 11" front rise, 12" back rise
● Hips- 36" uo to 38" super tight
● Inseam- 30.5"
● Upper thigh- 10" across

Vintage super chunky wool fair isle sweater. Handmade and beautiful! Gray, cream, and a super dark midnight blue... this combo sings to me all about winter.

Being handmade there are areas where the knit is tied off and such that aren't perfectly even but there are no holes or stains and it's in beautiful clean condition. (Though it took me dang near 5 days waiting for it to dry) it's finally ready for a home! Last photo shows a random orange fiber that's in the knit and this is under one arm. Not a flaw, but it was random so thought I would note it.

Measurements:
This one would best fit small in my opinion

● Shoulder- no seam, best fits 15" or smaller natural shoulder.
● Chest- 17" pit to pit (34" chest) can stretch to 38"
● framed the same width to hem.
● Length- 26"
● Sleeve length- around 24"-25" from natural shoulder

Vintage 70's Icelandic wool button up sweater by Hilda Ltd. I really love this one in beautiful neutral gray, browns, and cream. Topped off with ornate silver toned buttons. Cozy, fuzzy, warm.

This one is very soft but those sensitive to wool will probably prefer an underlayer. This one is cute closed up or worn open like a cardigan. Sweater has been soaked and cleaned twice now and is in beautiful condition. There are a couple areas of alight discoloration ppinted out in photos, one back of sleeve and one up top in the front. Honestly, I don't even notice them during wear since the texture is so nice and fuzzy. Neither stand out.

Marked size is small but see measurements for accurate fit...

● Shoulder- no seam, best fit 14" natural shoulder
● Chest- 17" pit to pit laid flat (34" chest) or smaller or buttons will gape if closed up.
● Length- 24"
● Sleeve length- 23" from natural shoulder

Really really nice vintage 90's Dale of Norway full zip wool sweater. Gorgeous Norwegian pure new wool in cream, black, and red.

This one I don't find to be too itchy but those sensitive to wool may want an underlayer. This piece came to me with some staining and after two soaks and treatments everything lifted aside from a small faint spot on one sleeve pointed out in the photos. Not suoer noticrable as its on the inner sleeve, and this may lift with a few more treatmemts. Otherwise in clean pristine condition! Zipper works smoothly and a layer of fleece lines each side for comfort and durability. Dale of Norway makes high quality sweaters!

Measurements:
Marked size is medium.

● Shoulder seam- drop seam that hangs slightly over shoulder and down arm. Seam to seam measures 21" but this fits a 15" to 16" natural shoulder.
● Chest- 20" pit to pit laid flat. (40" chest) can stretch up to a 44" chest.
● Length- 26"
● Sleeve length- 24" from natural shoulder

Little puff shoulder vintage puffer jacket! Not extremely puffy, but enough to be warm while still having a nice silhouette! Made by Current Seen, 80's-90's. Threw on my cozy warm hat to make it complete. It's feeling cool here in Washington!

Outer is a cotton/poly blend, soft to the touch. Nylon lining and Poly fill. In very good vintage condition, maybe some slight fade to the black. This one goes in the washer and dryer with no worries. Love an easy care coat!

Only flaws to note is some rub wear on the snaps, and one pocket opens more than the other due to a tighter second seam being out. Does not affect wearability, or the pocket as a whole, still closes all the way down.
Jacket closes by a zipper and then snaps over top. Thr collar also snaps down in back and front so you can also raise it all the way up to cover your neck if it gets breezy! Also had elastic sleeve cuffs beneath outer sleeve cuffsbfor added warmth.

Fits like a small.
Measurements:
● Shoulder seam- 14.5"
● Chest- fits 36" or under
● Waist- same as chest, 36" or under
● Hips- max 41" or under
● Length- 31"
● Sleeve- 24" from shoulder seam

Can I interest anyone maybe 2-3" taller than me (just about 5'4) in an awesome pair of black leather pants? 80's-90's by Together! Fully lined and in excellent vintage condition.

Leather is nice and broken in but has no cracks or flaws. Someone did all the work so they move well and don't feel super stiff. These have a super high 14" Rise that literally swallows me and my super short waist. The inseam is 29.5" but with a rise this high they are best fit for someone at least 5'5" to 5'6 if you don't want the leg to bunch at the bottom. Shown clipped in about an inch at the waist to hold them up on me. Perfect for someone with larger hips and curves!

The seaming on these is really cool... double seams down center of legs and across knee area. Two hand pockets and two back pockets.

Measurements
● Waist- 30" relaxed up to 31" pulled tight
● Rise- 14" high rise
● Hips- 44" relaxed up to 46" stretched tight
● Inseam- 29.5"
● Total length waist to ankle- 42.5"
● Upper thigh- 14" across
● Ankle- 7" across

Might Mac! The label of this vintage 60's-70's heavy wool camel colored coat with faux fur lining and collar. This coat is really nice and in great condition for it's age!

The wool is so soft like cashmere on the outer and the faux fur is soft as well! Two hand pockets and oh so warm! No size label but I would estimate around a menswear Large, possibly XL, but see measurements to be exact please.

Structurally this coat is perfect. Very well made. Even still has the extra button sewn inside in case one goes missing. Only wear to note are a couple dark marks on inside one sleeve, not super noticeable during wear and may lighten with more spot treatments. Tiny bit of darkening around bottom hem but not enough for the camera to even register, as well as a couple dark marks in inside of jacket that do not show during wear. This will be a heavy one to ship.

Measurements
● Shoulder seam- 20.5"
● Chest- 25" pit to pit on the outer (50") but this guy is thick so this would be the max chest size, probably a little more comfortable for around a 48" chest.
● Waist and hip area also up to 50" max.
● Length- 40"
● Sleeve- 25" from shoulder seam

Cute worn open like a cardigan or buttoned shut for the breezy cold days ahead. Excellent clean condition. Mostly wool, nylon blend. No flaws to note. Has an extra button sewn inside in case one goes missing. I don't find this to be too itchy during wear but those sensitive to wool fibers may prefer something under.

1950's Fox Fur Stole. I think this one is so nice with the striped patterns and rich browns. I typically don't sell or wear fur items, but I bought this in an estate so long ago and it deserves a home and not the trash.

It's in beautiful condition but there is some slight storage odor still even though it came to me with a cleaning tag attatched. Pricing accordingly. Has original L.R. fox New York label as well as someone's initials inside. Probably the woman's whose estate it came from because she was fancy.

Closes by one hook in the front toward base of stole.
No visible flaws and the lining is in beautiful clean condition as well. Since very soft and warm. There is a tiny thin spot of fur near one shoulder but it's notbreally visible unless you are brushing the fur apart.

Measurements
It seams framed for around a medium, possibly large.
● Shoulder can fit up to 18" This width is where the stole starts cutting down the arm area.
● Chest- up to 42"
● Length- back measures 21" in length and thr front measures 23" in length from shoulder bottom of front panels.
● Open design at sides like a cape.
