Late 1960's Pendleton Woolen Mills Educational Packet

This packet is kind of cool which takes you through the process of how Pendleton wool fabric is made from the raw material through the finished product!

1940's / 50's REDBAND Motorcycle / Engineer Boots

I thought these boots were pretty cool when I picked them up over the weekend. I'm not familiar with the brand REDBAND but they sold about five minutes after I listed them on Ebay so I'm sure the buyer knew what they were. My guess is they are a size 8.5 or 9. The boots have a nice look and great patina though they could use a resoling!

1966 Vans "VAN" Boat Shoes (Pre-Van Doren)

These have to be the earliest Vans sneakers I've ever seen with the "VAN" logo which I believe predate the "VAN DOREN" logo. These shoes are most likely 1966 vintage and are up on Ebay for a ridiculous amount.

Identity Crisis

Apparently Roth switched "Choppers Magazine" name to "Custom Bike Magazine" for at least one issue back in 1968. I'm not sure why. Anyhow, I thought this ad was pretty cool from a 1968 Car Craft Magazine!

Oakland Roadster Show in 1967

The bikes are hiding in the back!

1960's Violators of Detroit Patches & Vest on Ebay

I thought this vest was pretty cool on Ebay HERE! There's a t-shirt and a pair of old chain stitched back patches but the t-shirt tag looks like 1980's vintage, not 1960's. The patches do look to be authentic 60's though.
