    Formal Wear Primer

    The vintage Dance Society of Bloomfield, CT and The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers are two I'm aware of. There may be others. I am a member of the Commonwealth Vintage Dancers but haven't been a participant for a while. Both of these groups can be found via the search engines or in FB.

    Formal Wear Primer

    My interests lie mostly in the turn of the century formal attire era where time passed a bit more slowly. This included even the late 19th century era. Wearing formal attire was an art. Here in New England, several organizations focus on meticulous attention to details and accuracy to the...

    Formal Wear Primer

    Toppers Unite

    Thank you for your reviews and response. My only concern new is that part of the lining stitching has come undone and needs to be re-stitched. Any ideas on redoing the stitching would be helpful since I really don't want to make it any worse than it already is. Appreciated.

    Yes, The sweatband is stitched at the seam and there is a fairly old paper behind the sweatband "7 1/8" Scroll letters - "M F" Looks really old and a reference number 22 (for repurchase I think)? I picked this up in a private sale a number of years ago. Don't even remember what I paid for it

    I have, what I think, may be an Edwardian period Beaver/Silk top hat. I am curious if anyone would have any idea if it is of that period or, if not, how old it would be. The Emblem is Order or The Garter "Noni Soit Qui Maly Pense" and "Diu Et Mon Droit" inner emblem, where it might have been...
