    Couldn't get a rise out of anyone, huh? Oh well, after wading through about sixty godawful polyester abominations I was able to arrive at these keepers: There were also a couple dozen decent all silk contemporary ties, and three fifties/sixties skinnies. Might be able to sell that...

    crawl space find, montgomery ward pwer house chore jacket‏

    That's a helluva find. I've seen similar old workwear sell for big bucks. I'd be surprised if it's newer than mid-fifties - but I'll be watching this thread to see what more knowledgeable members say about that.

    Pendletons and Other Plaids of the Past...

    I've noticed that too. Perhaps they were washed/dried badly and shrunk? I have had some luck dampening the sleeves and stretching them out and allowing to dry with some tension on them. The wool kinda' works with you. To an extent.

    What are you wearing today??

    Cooler temps (FINALLY) have caused the tweeds to come out. Here I am doing my best Vanna White in front of the cute pond/water feature Nicki recently worked on: (You can kinda' tell, in this photo, that my neck is killin' me)

    That bag was all 'tied' up tight around the box - - but are you kiddin'!? You bet I opened it up and dug around before plopping down ten WHOLE dollars. If you use the online HPG Thrift Shopping calculator, you'll see that $10 to me is like $1,257 in Tomasso money. lol

    Pendletons and Other Plaids of the Past...

    My favorite of the bunch. Much heavier, stiffer and scratchier. Definitely want to wear a long sleeve Henley under this one. Dig the angled pocket flaps. Inner lining/facing material is natural, not synthetic. Buttons are black GLASS. HIGH armholes:

    Other older oldies: '50s? '60s?...

    Pendletons and Other Plaids of the Past...

    Recently scored these while thrifting: Has a 'dated' feel and style about it - although the use of synthetics inside the yoke behind the label (combined with collar style) indicates perhaps '70s to me. Are the horizontal button holes a clue? (The flash makes the colors brighter than in person)...

    Liner Droop

    I did this to a flaccid liner in an old Stetson Eagle and it's been in place for a couple years now. It does not attach the liner to the felt in any way - - it merely gives the liner some structure/slight stiffness and conforms it up into the hat like original equipment.

    Liner Droop

    Glue!? Tape!? OK, guys, here's the trick: Spray starch right into the crown - a nice coat on the saggy liner. Then, a hot blow dryer aimed into the hat. It pushes the liner into position while drying the starch. Sets up quick and then stays put.

    60s Suit Lot 42 Sh - FOR SALE

    One of these is dated 1965, the other two are dated 1970 but I would bet they were technically made in the late '60s. Interesting to note that the owner's name, typed into tag is the same as the name of the clothing store from which they came. Must have been the suits of the proprietor/tailor...
