    Levis Cone Mill Jeans, how much shrinkage to expect?

    Ian, thanks for answering. Levis has farther confused me by saying in an email in response to this same question that their vintage line 501's will not shrink any differently from their other jeans, basically about 1/4 in. They said they do have a shrink to fit jean that shrinks 1" in the waist...

    Levis Cone Mill Jeans, how much shrinkage to expect?

    Hey All! Thinking about buying a few pairs of Levis rigid cone mill selvage jeans, and was wondering how much shrinkage to expect? I normally wear 30x32, so I just don't know how much larger I need to go. When I bought rigid Wranglers it seems like I went with 32X34. Thanks!

    Softening Vintage Typewriter Platens?

    Hey Everybody! Just finished cleaning/oiling and replacing the drawstring on a 1930's Royal portable typewriter. Everything is working great, but the platen is a bit hard. It looks good but it makes a lot of noise. Is there a good way to restore it to it's original supple state? I've heard of...

    Round/Medium/Long oval patent date, who can give me info?

    Brad, I believe my reprint sears catalog of 1901 already had the three oval system in it. I'll have to see if I can dig it out.

    Round/Medium/Long oval patent date, who can give me info?

    Brad, that makes sense. I didn't think of that. It would be hard to patent something so basic. I believe there was some historic information on the development of the round/medium/long oval system though. If I remember correctly hats from the colonel era were blocked in the round, and hats...

    Round/Medium/Long oval patent date, who can give me info?

    Hey All! I remember some time ago, one of the members here, had done some research on the date of the patent for the modern system for classifying and blocking hats for three different head shapes... could somebody kindly point me to info pertaining to these patents? I have searched the forum...

    1930's Joseph & Fiess Pinstripe Tweed Suit on Ebay!

    According to Marc Chevalier this suit is actually from 1926-1930. "Just wanted to let you know that your wonderful suit is, in fact, from the late 1920s, not the '30s. How do I know? The definitive indicator is the fabric in the jacket's lining and on the vest's back. That fabric is alpaca...

    1930's Joseph & Fiess Co. Pinstripe Tweed Suit!

    Just a few things to add to the discussion... The jacket is tight on me, this suit is a little small, so as someone said before, that effects how the lapels look a little bit. Also, I just had it drycleaned and the cleaner didn't know to press the sleaves crisply, so there's less crease in them...

    Let me see if I can find some more labels! I would be surprised if this suit was made as late as the 50's or 60's... but, I'm no expert.
