the shirt is late 40s/early 50s

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

Frank Sinatra's vintage suit jacket

Found this several weeks ago at a Goodwill thrift store near Hollywood Blvd. Goodwill didn't know what it had!

It's a vintage smooth-finished tan wool gabardine suit jacket custom made for FRANK SINATRA in 1966 by Carroll & Co., the exclusive Beverly Hills haberdashery (located at that time on Rodeo Drive). Measures to be a size 40 Short. Fully lined; the lining has a paisley print.

I’ve included a black & white image of Mr. Sinatra wearing a darker version of this jacket while singing at a late ‘60s concert.

The quality of tailoring is excellent. All buttonholes are handsewn, and the sleeves have working buttonholes (or “surgeon’s cuffs”).

Nice find, Marc. Carrolls was one of my favorite shops when I lived in BH.

Carrolls was one of my favorite shops when I lived in BH.

Mr. Carroll's son is doing a fine job of running his late pop's store. A nice, low-key guy.

Carroll's was always a favorite of mine when I live in LA. It's nice to know it's thriving still.

What I miss is the late, lamented At-Ease , Al Douglass's shop ... especially the one in Westwood Village. Much like Carroll's, but with a more youthful (collegiate?) sensibility.

Holy SMOKE!

silk tie, 30's? no tags

a pair of dress boots. 1930's and a pair of 40's suede wedges

That tie is almost like a Fornasetti design. The shoes are wood pegged on the waist.

Not the same 'At-Ease'. Years ago, Al Douglass retired and sold the business to some corporate suits, who proceeded to bankrupt it. They then sold the name.

Cookie, if you're talking about the 40's women's wedges, the pegs are metal, so not wood at least.

50's sport coats

Wholly in keeping with my tendency to snatch mainly 50's stuff I just won two nice German sport coats from the 1950's (presumably). And pretty cheap they came, too. Note the action back/bi-swing detail.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

I like them! The second one is even better. I am still not used to checks.

If you found them in germany ...uhm would you share the secret? PM?

 

[Mario]

What can I say? That secret is no secret at all - unless you want to call Ebay a secret place...

Um...no vintage clothing this time around, instead some vintage sheet music: Persian Rug (1927) by Gus Kahn & Neil Moret.

Some animation related stuff I found at a local antiques store.
