Help with clothing

[cmjordan77]

Hi,
I have been collecting WWII items for some time. I wear my WWII Khaki's to work (i have 3 wearing pairs that I use for work, 2 MINT Pairs that I dont wear, and several that I cant wear to work but around the house), I wear an old A-2 Jacket, and I have another old vintage flyers jacket that I wear. i have an old pair of RedWing Boots that I wear.
I need to find some new stuff vintage to wear. I go to the Thrift stores about 4 days per week. I am trying to find out what to look for in old pants, old shirts, jackets, suits etc... I use pictures best, but names would help.
What I usually try to do is have a list of names, etc.. that I carry around so if I see something, I will buy it.

Can some of you folks help me? Or with any good online shops? I live in Greenville SC. I am trying to get my wardrobe, extended.

I saw a beautiful suit I know it had to be from the 30's or 40's, at the thrift store, but it was small on me so I didnt buy it. I should have though I might have been able to get it altered.

Anyway, please post or if anyone can email me lists of men's names, hats, shoes, socks, shirts, pants and suits, especially shirts, suits and pants.

I am on the way out from my job and off to the thrift store to find something vintage (I HOPE!).

My main look is WWII vintage, I like the 30's style mens clothing, 20's is nice, 30's and 40's is best for me.

Thank you to all who can help!
I greatly appreciate it!

Beyond that, I think you will just have to do some site searches for what you're looking for.

Thank you,
WHat I am looking for is what to wear for 30's & 40's fashion.
I am just learning. I know about WWII Uniforms, but not civi's. I am very interested in what to wear. I go to thrift stores, but the stuff I see I am not sure if the label or what is vintage 30's or 40's. I am not going to buy it if not, as I want to have a nice collection to wear.

Can someone please tell me some suit names to look for?
Shirt names to look for?
Pants (especially these) to look for?

I really need some help here.

I really appreciate ALL Info as this will be put to good use and I hope to build my collection to wear (Not just to look at), I love the Golden eras. I think I lived in this era, and died and reencarnated back during this era, ha! (Just kidding on that, but it feels like I really missed my era to live in).

THank you!
