    ***ALL 3 SOLD PP*** Thanks! I'll have more up soon! I have up for sale not 1, but 3, vintage patch-pocket sport jackets/coats for sale. They did not fit me, otherwise I would be keeping them all! I do lots of vintage hunting and I get a huge thrill out of saving vintage clothes. I find the...

    Avirex R.A.F. sheepskin flight jacket size 46 f/s

    Hello ladies and gents, Up for sale is a vintage 1980's Avirex R.A.F. sheepskin leather flight jacket. There is not too much to report - the jacket is in fantastic condition. There are no stains, no rips, no tears, no funny business. There is light tarnishing on the brass zippers, but it is...

    Holy Grail of vintage suits

    ---Just catching up on this thread--- Asking myself these questions... "Would I be very, very excited if I found this suit for sale?" check. "If given the chance and the right setting, would I wear this suit?" double check. I think if you ask yourself those questions as well and...

    Great pants. I like the fabric in that last picture, too.

    Looks like I missed on this one...

    Antique stores or 'hole in the wall' places are good to look to. More often than not, you come up empty handed. However, it is fun browsing, and when you do find something it is a pleasant surprise. A couple months ago I found a black belt-back jacket for $12 so things are definitely still...

    Agreed. The aforementioned suit (Sept 1941) has a metal zipper.

    Vintage: How many flaws are accepted for "public" use?

    Maybe it comes down to preference/your standard? I know when I started looking at stuff I would get thrown by the tiniest imperfection, but I've come to realized that a lot of times, the moth holes and wear just come with the territory. A lot of this clothing is 70+ years old, so it might have...

    Looks like I missed on this one...

    Keep looking...you'll find something! If you don't need the suit right away, hit up thrift stores. I've found plenty of 1950s-1960s suits and jackets at them. My last great find (suit-speaking) was a 1941 3 piece blue pinstripe SB, in fabulous condition. $15. The deal are out there but keep...

    The price of a 1941 phone call- Ouch!

    Do you mean that it cost them $163 back in 1941? Or today? If so...adjusted for inflation, that was a $2500 phone call. Ouch indeed.

    Proper fit for a late 1950s-1960s suit

    Thanks for the thoughts/feedback guys. I knew that these suits had more of a boxy type cut (which is I'm sure why not a lot of folks search them out), but I didn't know that they also went through a time of well-fit style as well. I'll keep that in mind as I find more. I suppose it makes...

    Proper fit for a late 1950s-1960s suit

    Gentleman, I figured I would throw this one at the experts. I have several nice pieces from my collection that I am in limbo about keeping or not. A few late 50s/early 60s suits and sport coats/orphans that I had just assumed were too big for me and had been purchased before I knew some finer...

    1930s vertical/horizontal belted youth knicker suit

    Hey guys, I made a purchase of a belt-back suit coat just recently and the place where I found it also had a knicker suit from what was presumably the 1920s or 1930s. The size was for a youth, as I am a 38 and it would not come close to fitting me. The actual suit was in poor shape -...
