30's French style (Work, Hunting & Sportswear)

2) The pique covert hunting jacket
To complete the French 30's style, I will detail a second very classical item wich composed the typical dressing room of the 30's hunter. The Pique covert hunting jacket, or "coutil" in french. This fabric looks very similar to french cord but differently to the fuzzy fabric, coutil or pique is dry and strongest. Very usefull in the work french clothing beetween 1920 and 1950, this fabric was used also for pants, vest and lining for all types of jacket (cord, leather…). In some cases it replaced the flannel lining. This 4 or 5 buttons front jacket takes 4 buttoned flap pockets, one each side pocket for the gamebag at the back and one inside pocket with sewn label. Two diameters for the buttons. Buttons are in steel with embossed animals, dark brown painted. Represented animals are usualy deers, rabbits, dogs, wild boars… Gamebag use to be in contrasted color… Look at this fabulous button up model… very rare design…The mixed brown and black color model I introduce you, is a very interesting item. Belted sleeves cuffs with their curved design, buttoned game bag, selvedge inside pockets… and…its condition…near deadstock… Those jackets were manufactured from the 20's to the 50's… Style and quality was similar during this 30 years period. Only labels and buttons were differents. Hope you will apreciate this great jacket… This model is one of my favorite…Don't hesitate to ask me questions…I could have models for sale, sometime…

Open face…!

I don't want you could think that FRENCH CANCAN is a grrrrrrumpy man !

LONDON… What a pity !

For people who know me, they just have to see my closed face in the upper pix, to know how deception was big for me, and how you better not speak to me when I'm in this mood… !

MISS LONDON, where is your nostalgic king's road , where are your fabulous Covent Garden shops, where is your secret and inexhaustible Camden Lock… THE WORLD HAVE CHANGED… Charity shops, Flea Markets, vintage clothing shops (I don't speak about african boubous made in India…) Where are different styled and kind of people in the street…Where are the rockers, the punks, the mods, the rastamen… Where is the fish and ships odors, the good jamaican smell, the fabulous Kensington "sweat Georgia brown" pomade savor, The Elephant Head bad boys… Is it this new sanitized world or is it because Vilbo is near 40 years old ? I would like to be surprised !!!!! and I did not…No matter… I let my vintage dreams in my bag and spent good time with my Margerite to eat bad food and drink good beers…

I didn't let all my vintage dreams in my bag…

of course 80's old vintage stuff could not disappear…… TOTALY…
