This seems to work on other sites, so I figure that it deserves a shot here. If you've got a quick hat question and don't see a thread for it, just post it here. Whether the question is about cleaning, anatomy of a hat, brands, etc., this is the place. Here's one to break the ice.

They don't make them like they used to. This classic American Navy vintage peacoat in a classic navy color with hard to find corduroy pockets features the much vaunted kersey wool which is very smooth and keeps you warm better than today's wool that is being used. If you know anything about...

I lovingly restored this jacket before I realized I would never be thin enough to wear it well. It would fit a medium or a small. I'm a large chest with big shoulders, so I realized it would always look too small on me. I'm heartbroken about this, because this is one of the best half belts I've...

Hi, I normally post over on AAAC with the same username; it was recommended that I list these over here. For their age, these are in great condition. No wear on collars, cuffs, lapels, etc. Due to age, the linings might need a little work. Bespoke 1931 J. Press Afternoon Tails Click pics...

I made the rather stupid mistake of ordering this grand beauty from Mark and then going back to the gym and hitting the weights vice doing the opposite. As such, I was only able to wear this once, it simply didn't fit after my added gym gains. A shame as it is one of the nicest jackets I've...

This is the same hat I'm wearing in my profile pic - can't seem to figure out how to embed photos and PhotoBucket is acting up today. The only signs of age or wear are some tolerable rust colored stains on the front of the white satin lining. Has a plastic insert over the logo in the crown...

Hi guys, I have a size XL Filson x Levi's tin cloth jacket up for sale at the moment on ebay. The jacket is brand new with all the tags attached and never worn. The jacket is no longer produced. It was purchased directly from the Filson head office in Seattle. I thought I would post it here as...

Hello all, we have been in the planning stage for some time now on the Aviatrix jacket. Our goal is to produce a high quality, durable "real" flight jacket for women that is an exact reproduction of one of Amelia's favorite flight jackets. Our hope is that this project can contribute to...

Hi all. As many of you know I'm New Vintage Lady and I run a blog, website and Etsy store under that name dedicated to vintage fashion. I wanted to tell you all about the project I started to get my patterns multi-sized. The Kickstarter is running now until the Dec. 13, 2016 8pm PDT (my...

I'm looking for a genuine 1930s or 1940s sport coat (belted, pleated back preferred) in a men's size 46 for under 50 dollars. Or alternatively a 1960s-1970s sport coat that is a good copy of a 30s-40s one. If I'm nuts for seeking one this old, in this size for this price, tell me.

So I am unloading this pair after about a year and some moderate use. They don't fit well enough to keep long term. I've already purchased another pair of boots, of course, so I'd like to sell these to recoup some of the money spent ;) I do not know the brand of these boots, but the person I...

Hello, Can you help me identify the exact fabric and style of material used for this suit. And if you know it, can you tell me the price to tailor it (made to measure)?

What are some of the best old movies where you can see some fine vintage dinner jackets, for example like Cary Grants in 'Notorious' (1946), and Humphrey Bogarts in 'Casablanca' (1942)? Thank you

Today I found two old, handmade, hand-formed hats. I think the style is called Stetson "Boss of the Plains" but there are no labels. They have a gaucho cowboy "feel". I'm guessing they were probably from the 1800s. They are stiff. I found them in the same recycling spot where I found some very...

Hello. I bought a L-2A (Alpha Industries Vintage) jacket. It came new inside the plastic bag but full of wrinkles. How can i remove the wrinkles without damage the outer shell? Best regards. Nuno Forte.

I've just finished the novel on which the film is based, The Price of Salt, by Patricia Highsmith. The author used a pseudonym when the book was published in 1952, as the book's storyline was controversial. Highsmith had already been labeled, to her dismay, a "mystery" writer (she is also author...
