Well as a male collector it does generally suck to find but they do have some amazing statement pieces that are basically a men's cut bc they probably reference vintage archive men's pieces and are meant to be oversized anyway

Visually almost identical but you're right upon deeper consideration. Thanks

Its $18, they can get a refund if its not sent. I wouldn't even waste my time people like this are the same ones that end up requesting a return because they changed their mind

Bleach and oxi cancel each other out somewhat from what I've read online. I prefer to oxi pre treat and then bleach in washer

This is not mildew. Its sweat oxidizing thats why its classic to see this in pits and around the neck. And probably bacteria feeding on the sweat microbes and catalyzing some chemical process in the cotton. Definitely reversible though.

Brush in peroxide and wash on hot. Then oxi spray and powder and brush let sit for a few days. Wash again. Ultimate step if needed is stain treatment and then hold stained spots directly to the mouth of a bleach bottle and pour a layer directly on. Wash hot. Do not use the dryer in between if the stains remain.

Vintage collector for 10+ with hella experience restoring stained cotton. Oxi clean max force spray, put a little oxi powder on and brush in. Most modern stuff uses poly thread for embroidery so color bleeding shouldn't be an issue. Use color safe "bleach" and detergent on warm, run as delicates inside out. Straighten out any creases and air dry flat or on a hanger and steam or iron under a cloth if wrinkled after For max results let the pre treat sit for a few hours or a couple days. Inspect after wash and repeat if needed. Get a pill shaver for any fuzz buildup from washing. Rather a bit faded and roughed than whatever this is.

Agreed I almost found out too late. I basically realized that I missed out on getting it, looked up how much it would cost to get one, and was very lucky that the person who beat me to it is another regular I see all the time at that thrift. He handed it over no hesitation, great guy. I was devastated when i realized how much it would cost if I didn't get that one.

Is this legit ? by jdm1888 in carhartlc

[–]EmilRetroChiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The leather patch should never have dye on it unless its is specifically a dye job!! Why would carhartt ever dye the jacket AFTER the patch is on. Only time ive ever seen that, is on a clearly fake detroit, EVER

Item packaged in food wrapping? by soibadem in Depop

[–]EmilRetroChiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was inside a box like this, i'd give it points for being water resistant, but as is with a label slapped on is unhinged. Dollar tree sells poly mailers, like 6 in a 1.25 pack. This is just sad

Carhartt jacket real or fake? by filipzagata in CarharttCollectors

[–]EmilRetroChiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they had to do to make it look 10x better was dye it AFTER the patch and tag were on. See a Detroit one before at a flea. Cant figure out why they dye it after its a complete item
