Wanted to buy or trade:

• Yuketen Maine Guide boots, size UK8/Euro42
• Nigel Cabourn Farm Pants in brown corduroy, size 34 or 36

Swedish M1909 “Mats Larson” parka

Probably the ultimate army developed winter parka, this is the Swedish Army M1909 parka. Also called the “Mats Larson”, after one of the companies that had the army contract to make them, or the “Livpäls”, which some say translates to “life fur”, but actually means “fur to the waist”. This one is in excellent condition, no smell, a wee bit of smudge here and there, but nothing a little cleaning wouldn’t sort out. These are usually huge, but this one is in a rare and desirable medium/large size, so actually very much more usable. About a sheep’s worth of sheepskin lining, all buttons in place and firmly fastened. Asking a most reasonable 200 pounds.

Vintage wool cricket jumper, size medium

Stunning wool cricket jumper from pre-1947, as verified by the maker, Alain Paine. No smells or wear, minimal pilling. Alain Paine also supplied George Mallory with knitwear on the ill-fated Everest attempt, so there are some cool historical connections here! Asking 190 pounds.

Great pair of brogue boots in lovely pebbled leather. Made by Saunders in Northampton. Resoled with blue Dainite soles for extra longevity and style. Used once, sadly found they were too small. Asking 150 pounds.

1970s Lee 11-Z deadstock dungarees

A similar pair was recently sold in Japan for over 500 pounds. Asking 175 pounds or best offer for these timewarp dungarees. To frame and display or wear!

Rare vintage Irish Combat Tunic field jacket from 1989

Norwegian-made wool cardigan, size XL

If you’re wondering what the measurement P2P means, this photo illustrates it. Pit to pit, as in armpit to armpit. In inches. Multiply by 2.54 to change to centimetres, multiply by 2 to get a full chest measurement. A 20″ P2P fits a 40″ chest. OK? 🙂
