    How do you wash a vintage shirt?

    I have here a '40s/'50s shirt, and I'm curious as to how to properly wash it. It has a somewhat nubby texture and feels as if it could be a cotton/rayon mix. Any loungers have any tips on how to properly wash these kinds of shirts?

    Show off the sports coats.

    Though I don't normally go for jackets made in the latter part of the 1960's, I couldn't pass up on this one's mod styling. I know there was nostalgia for the '30s mens suits/jackets in the late '60s, but this jacket appears to be referencing the late 1910's early 1920's style. It's similar to...

    Thanks flix! I bought it thinking it was that from that era, but I'm a novice when it comes to dating vintage shirts.

    Shirt of unknown vintage. I tried researching the tag, but only found 1 other shirt with a similar tag from the '60s but with a much smaller collar. Any loungers here know how to date shirts?

    The style and cut says 1940's. Another hint could be the length. I believe '40s ties are shorter than '70s ties.

    What are you wearing today??

    What I wore to Powerhouse Stomp 2 at the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan. Post-1948 suit jacket 1940's tie, and '60s tie clip. Everything else modern. The 1940's style I was going for actually worked for the party as one of the events consisted of a live performance of Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding...

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    Gray is a neutral color and basically can go with anything. I believe your suit in particular would look great with black shoes, especially for such a special occasion.

    Cartoon shows that you remember watching as a kid

    The '90s was the Golden Age for TV cartoons, as in this era animators were given a lot of freedom and room to experiment. This 2nd Golden Age of cartoons was brought upon thanks to the success of "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit" in 1988. I'm 21 and an animator so Ren and Stimpy is both nostalgic and...

    Found this 1920's/1930's linen sport jacket at the jazz age lawn party. I finally own a belted back jacket! :) Needs to be cleaned, pressed and have some repairs made, but other than that it's in excellent shape.

    XD I haven't even worn it yet. Well, it has the length of a later-'50s/'60s ties. I really thought I had found a unique pre-1970's tie.

    Purchased my first vintage overcoat. Has the 1949-1962 Union Tag.

    With that tag, I'd say the jacket is from the '80s-'90s.

    Just picked these two up. The tie on right lacks a label. due to it's shorter length, color and fabric I'm guessing 1940's. The atomic fleck tie has me baffled, it's slimmer and longer like a '50s tie, but it lacks a liner and has machine stitching like a '20s-'30s tie. Anyone know anymore...

    What are you wearing today??

    What a wore for my job at a diner. A patron told me I reminded him of Felix Frankfurter. He normally refers to me as "Back to the Future". The tie dates to no later than 1966, and the waistcoat, being partially made of polyester is probably of more recent manufacture. Everything else is modern.
