    FS: Late 40's or early 50's STUNNING suit- vented patch pockets, hollywood waist

    Neckties- How?

    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?

    Need Help: ID Possible WAAC uniform jacket?

    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.
