    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    actually, I've been told that I got it for a steal. It's really in amazing shape in person (though I've worn a small hole in the crease of the crown after a year of constant use) and several vintage clothing dealers have each offered me about $200 for it.

    WTB Two-Tone Hollywood Jacket

    If I were you,I'd have a tailor "Frankenstein" two thrift store sport coats or suit jackets together (one solid colored and one with some sort of pattern) in order to make this. Take the jacket that's the main body (ex: a Glen plaid), remove the sleeves. Change the lapels on the glen plaid to a...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Bought a 7 3/8 (which, as I've been told is a "common size", yet is INCREASINGLY difficult to find) off of Ebay last October, a Fawn colored Lee's of Connecticut white label for about 80 bucks. It's my everyday/knockaround hat, and it's quality, though beat up, somewhat, is still as fine as...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I bought a third-tier watch from the 1930s (t least I assume it's one of the "no-name" brands because I've certainly never come across it before or since) by Bemvis. The watch has a round case, with a rounded-edge rectangle face and swivel lugs. Stylistically, I'd say it dates to the late '30s...

    Show off the sports coats.

    I prefer the silk and rayon ties from the '40s with my tweeds. With the right collar and proper construction of the blazer, my look could easily pass for 1940s.

    I don't have pictures of it, but I have a mink and leather bomber jacket that i bought for 20 bucks, and it's worth several thousand brand-new. Only issues are some minor splits in the pelts, and the front pockets on the leather side (it's reversible) are shot. here's a similar jacket to mine...

    I love the late '40s Bulovas. They're nice transitional models between art deco and midcentury modern

    Is Alpaca itchy?

    I entered a contest on alpaca, so I pretty much know all about it. It's not itchy because there's no lanolin like in sheep. It's also warmer and lighter thn wool

    I haven't found anything on them besidesthe fact that they're a Boston firm who made gold cases. I haven't found any cases attributed to them though so I have no info on their Hallmark. I've been looking for days. I don't even know if my own case is gold (you think it would have been stamped...

    thank you so much for your help! I haven't been able to find anything on them anywhere!

    The watch was purchased from a Waltham antique shop, literally across the river from the old factory. It probably never left Massachusetts in its life, so the fact that Serex and Robert was a Boston based company makes sense.

    I also get the feeling the case is older. It seems too..... "Fussy" and heavily engraved to be Art Nouveau. Maybe 1880s or 90s, but not early '00s.

    True. I had forgotten about that. There's a mark inside: two initials interlocked, but no definite name. An R interlocked with an S. And co after it. I can't get a clear shot of it though

    I'd say, stylistically, that this is mid to late 1930s. I've seen 1920s Elgins, and this is NOT 1920s or early 1930s. My guess is circs 1935-40. Maaaaybe early 40s, but that's pushing it.
