    The Cap Faction

    Seabass, that fabric looks like a 70s version of the jazzy teens - 20s fabrics. there was a lot of 20s inspired fabric around in the 70s. not saying i'm correct; i would like it to be an early cap too. but my fabric instinct says not.

    1920s/1930s Country suit (in Keeper's Tweed)

    the £800 BIN one was listed about two weeks ago, so he's decided to try a low starting bid auction. i doubt there's any devious didgyness afoot. probably just slap happy.
