Rare vintage Irish Combat Tunic field jacket from 1989

Hard to find much info on these, but they are rare on the ground as the Irish army not keen to let them get into civvy hands. Well used, great patina. Lots of pockets, quality zips, throat tab and no buttons missing. Makes a nice change from the M65 style! Tricky to measure due to technical construction, but roughly 22″ chest. Asking a firm 125 pounds.

Original NOS unissued and unused Norwegian army M-43 field jacket, Size 50

Something a bit special here.The first of the modern field jackets, introduced in 1943. This one is stamped1966, never issued, never used, no smells, completely New Old Stock. Stamped “Hæren”, for the Norwegian army. Not a smelly surplus jacket, no one has enjoyed it before you. Equivalent to a Japanese reproduction, but actually a real vintage piece, not something made yesterday. Size 50, consider it a medium. Will measure up the details. Asking 225 pounds for this timewarp piece, a fraction of what a repro made last week costs 😉

 

Original issued, used and totally patinated Norwegian army M-43 field jacket.

If you want the classic field jacket look, this could be the one for you. The first of the modern field jackets, introduced in 1943. It’s been used, worn and washed. The canvas is soft as a cotton t-shirt, the creases are all in there. I fastened a couple of buttons, otherwise, it’s totally original. It even has the Norwegian flag on the arm. Would take 20 years or regular use to gain this quality of wear. No smells and no surprises, just pure vintage army style. Size 52, so a pretty standard large. Asking only 65 pounds.

1970s Lee 11-Z deadstock dungarees

From my investment collection comes this pair of perfect deadstock Lee 11-Z dungarees. Made in the USA, sanforized denim, size 38×34. Never worn, never hemmed. Awesome for that super-baggy Nigel Cabourn look! The cardboard has a torn corner, see photo. Triple-stitched legs and Talon 42-zip. Most likely from 1975, going by the “75” on the size label, but could be anywhere from mid 60’s to 70’s something. A similar pair was recently sold in Japan for over 500 pounds. Best offer over 250 can enjoy these timewarp dungarees. To frame and display or wear!

Vintage Harris Tweed jacket

 

Earl of Bedlam Harris Tweed waistcoat

 

Vintage Helly Hansen rain gear

This is authentic Helly Hansen rain smock and trousers from when they actually made it in Norway. Pretty decent condition for its age. The patina could no doubt be cleaned off if desired, though for the rugged fisherman look it should definitely be retained. Slight burn mark by the front lacing, most likely from a rugged fisherman’s pipe. Size medium/48-50. Asking 85 pounds.

Vintage Swedish army wool trousers

Vintage melton wool trousers from the Swedish army. Thick, solid wool in typical army quality. High rise, lots of butt-room and huge side pockets. Regular pockets bags in sturdy cotton twill.

Asking 50 pounds a pair.

Superior Hipster Harris Tweed jacket

On offer here is a super duper rare Superior Hipster two-button blazer in Harris Tweed. It has the wear patterns and internal damage that only comes through a long and hard life. When it came into my collection I subjected it to the sort of mild and caring wash that is met with scorn by US preppie tweed aficionados (i.e. in a bucket of warm water and wool detergent), so it is now nice and clean. Usual detailing and so forth. No size marked, though I measure it to xx” P2P. If you have a beard, a fixie, tight jeans and need that final feature to take you to the next level, this is probably it. This jacket has more of that unmentionable something than most of us accumulate in a lifetime of trying. I’ll let it go as is, needing some careful needlework, for 75 pounds. Or you can have it for the asking if you buy another jacket. You will have to convince me that you will be able to rock it properly though. And I am mostly being serious here, ok? 🙂

All items for sale are from my own collection, some carefully used, some forgotten in the closet. Everything I sell should be well described and well taken care of, but feel free to ask questions by mail if you would like further information. Or even make me an offer, OK?

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? 🙂
