Hello all!
I've had this for a short while- I figured I would have it altered so it would fit me, but I decided I should just let go of it instead.
This one is incredible!! 4 patch pockets, all vented. Fabric is a wool gabardine with a "flannel" finish- it's a fuzzy gab, in short.
Dropped...
I can post this here, right?
Hello all,
I've been building models since I was 10, but time is tight and I need to thin out the "to-do" list.
Hence, I need this to go away to a good home.

Hello all,
It has been quite a while, but I wanted to tap into the expertise in this forum.
I picked up this suit a few weeks ago. Marc suggests it is 1930's, probably German or Swiss origin.
I trust his judgment but I figured I would take a vote and see what everyone else thinks.

Short and sweet guys,
How does a necktie lay when you wear it? I keep finding WWII neckties that are folded along the seam, rather than keep the seam centered down the back.
Is this right? Anyone have a diagram, picture, or at least an explanation as to HOW they should be pressed/folded/creased?
Hey everyone,
I picked this jacket up recently for a friend, but I'm not sure what it is.
Someone thinks it's a WAAC uniform jacket, but I compared it online and I don't think that's right.
Note: I lightened the colors so you can see the details. The actual color is a deep green.
Also this...
Hello guys,
I am on the hunt for a WWII officer's uniform- I've been shopping online as well as in a few stores and flea markets.

Hello all,
I've decided I should take on the task of making Officer's "Pinks" for myself, and I've also considered making a Garrison Cap as well.
I found this free pattern online, but I don't have a real one to compare- do the dimensions sound right? The look pretty low-profile but that could...
As always, PM me about these. Too high? Make an offer.
The book retails for about $30, I'll take $20 plus shipping.
I bought it, and never read it- barely thumbed through it. Look at the pic, the book is "cherry."
Bought these jeans from Liberty Vintage- they handle Viva Las Vegas...
Hello all,
It's been a while for certain!
I've been conducting research about the reversible vests you would see as part of a "Collegiate" suit from the late 1930's.
Here's two pictures for reference.
I discussed this with Marc because he's actually seen and reviewed one in real life.

Very unusual fabric- feels like poly, but I burned one strand of fiber and it burned steadily and produced ash. Most likely a Rayon then?
