    1930s belted back leisure/sporty suit jacket top found

    I went back to have a much more detailed look at the jacket and scrutinized the stitching. It's been butchered. Which is a shame because it fit me great and I would have loved to have picked up a nice 1937 belted back jacket. I did stop by another store and grabbed some photos of some of...

    1930s belted back leisure/sporty suit jacket top found

    Interesting thoughts all around. To be honest, it could have very well been altered and nobody would really know for sure. I did spend some time looking at the zipper since I thought it odd, and the stitching did look clean and original. It is tucked away in a mostly-women's shop, so I doubt...

    1930s belted back leisure/sporty suit jacket top found

    Thanks fellas. The jazz suit jacket wasn't cheap. I think $125. For me, it seemed rich for the condition it was in. They also had a suit top from an earlier outfit as well, I think 1900-1915 or so. I know so little about that timeframe, but that's what I would guess from old images I've...

    1930s belted back leisure/sporty suit jacket top found

    Hey guys, I know this is not a 'leisure' suit top, but I don't really know what else to call it. Very similar to the 2 jackets found on the 4th scan of the 35/36 Wards catalog in post #1...

    Requesting some thoughts on the lapels on this 1930s/1940s jacket

    Fastuni, I re-read your post and realized that you had speculated that the jacket might have been a DB peak lapel. You may be right. I do not detect any areas higher up that would have been where the top buttons were attached, but I do detect some irregularities around the bottom closure of...

    Requesting some thoughts on the lapels on this 1930s/1940s jacket

    Thanks fellas - totally missed that it could have been a SB peak lapel - I hardly come across them so it didn't cross my mind. The lack of button holes is a giveaway. My goodness how I wish someone hadn't altered it like that. I'm a big fan of the SB peak lapel jackets. I will take it...

    Requesting some thoughts on the lapels on this 1930s/1940s jacket

    Hello gents, I found this coat the other day - an ultra cool suit jacket (most likely an orphan) for $2. It has a '39 tag and I'm thinking it is closer to the beginning of the time frame since it has roped shoulders and a very suppressed waist. I love the thing...but what is giving me...

    18 vintage bow-ties! Individually priced, most $7!!

    Hey guys! I have some vintage ties up for sale! Each tie is being sold individually, so if you only want 1, cool. If you want 10, cool! I estimate most of these are vintage 1950s-1960s, but I know very little about vintage bow ties, so they could be older or newer. They are not the huge...

    Advice: Is this a jacket for me?

    I don't think it looks too bad! Are you concerned that the shoulders are too wide? Depending on the era of the jacket, some jackets maintained a wide silhouette and others were narrow, especially in the shoulders. If it isn't baggy and bunching up, then that sounds like a good thing. A sure...

    The Conversion Corral

    NICE work! My first contribution to this thread: 1950s-1960s Montgomery Ward from flat-top cowboy hat to 1930's inverse-taper dress hat Before- After: It has a few mild moth chews and needs cleaning but is overall in nice shape and the sweat is perfect. I might trim another...

    Thanks Thunder. As I started digging I started learning more about it. The details on the jacket were quite extraordinary. Thanks again for the info!

    1930's US Army Uniform with belted-back?

    EDIT: looks like the belted-back feature carried into WWII. Didn't see a tag but will check closer next time. Thanks! Hey guys, I stopped by a friends house today and we got to talking. The topic of vintage clothing came up and his dad pulled out an old uniform jacket that he didn't know a...
