1940's Sports Shirt w/ Looooong Collar $20
I hope you're not suggesting I'm trying to "pass this off" as 40's? As someone who grew up in the 70's, I don't think it looks 70's in the least. Not to mention I've been wearing and selling vintage since the 80's. The cut and the construction is straight 40's. A lot of 70's clothes took facets...- Wash In Lux

1940's Sports Shirt w/ Looooong Collar $20
1940's "Mal-Art" sports shirt. SUPER LONG collar with decorative top stitch. Flap pockets with top stitch as well. There is some very feint spotting on the front, a few inches from bottom and a couple tiny spots on the back a few inches from bottom (see pic). Overall great condition and hard to...- Wash In Lux

If I had to pick one girl from the golden era
Loretta Young's been mentioned several times already. I always liked her 30's stuff. Here's a beautiful shot that I don't think has been posted yet. And oh yeah, my daughter's name is Clara...- Wash In Lux

One of my Favorite Suits - Single, Peaked and Crazy Stripes
It's not a 30's suit. It's 1943. Yes, a taller gentleman than I wore this suit but, there was no way I was going to pass on this. I made it fit as best I could. Do I wish the jacket were a bit shorter? Well sure. And maybe if I'd eaten more broccoli like mom said, I may have reached the lofty...- Wash In Lux

One of my Favorite Suits - Single, Peaked and Crazy Stripes
Haha, the gym. That'd be awesome. Because San Diego sucks. People wear jeans when it's a suit occasion. And the suit occasions just don't happen too often anymore. The last time there was an occasion, there was dancing involved so I opted for a belted with action-back sportscoat that I have...- Wash In Lux

Belting a back
Do you mean when making the pleats? Maybe you're gathering too much? I made 2 small pleats and then when the belt was sewn on, it looks like 4; 2 on top and 2 on bottom. My gathers for the pleats are only about 1/8", so doubled up = 1/4" of material for each pleat. And then the length sewn for...- Wash In Lux

One of my Favorite Suits - Single, Peaked and Crazy Stripes
If the vest were still with it and the overall condition was a lot better, I may not have done the belt for originality's sake. The condition is good, there's no bug damage but, somebody loved this suit and wore it a lot. I had to make various repairs here and there, mostly to the lining...- Wash In Lux

I pulled this out to take some pics of the belt I made for the back out of extra trouser material. While it was out, I threw it on the ol' resale mannequin for some posterity pics. It was made for a Mr. Lee Gurley by the Rogers Tailoring Co. in Cleveland, Ohio.- Wash In Lux

Belting a back
Alright here's some pics. I'm not the greatest photographer and it's not near as flattering on the mannequin as it is me, LOL. With all the stripes, the center seam on the belt is barely visible. I did 4 pleats, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. I only pull this suit out once every couple years and...- Wash In Lux

Belting a back
I've done it a couple times and was very pleased. I'm only 5' 6" so often trousers are long on me. I wouldn't consider myself an expert tailor but, I have made trousers and jackets and do all of my own fitting. I own and have seen many different constructions of belted suits/jackets. Some are...- Wash In Lux

Leather coats from San Diego, any local's visit the store?
I've been in there in the last couple years and drive by it on a fairly regular basis. Garbage. National City's not known for store's with quality merchandise that's for sure. Lotta cheapie stuff all over. For a few years right next door was an ultra cheap tool store. Like Harbor Freight except...- Wash In Lux

Who Makes a Nice Pea Coat?
If you're near any navy towns, they're plentiful in the thrift stores. San Diego's a big navy town, they're everywhere. There was 3 or 4 at the AmVets I was at a couple days ago. If you want a new, navy issue, I can get you one. PM me.- Wash In Lux
