Mapledoram Suits on Etsy...any experiences?
The other day I stumbled across a UK based company on Etsy named Mapledoram. They are making suits for $357 (US) which don't "appear" to be too bad, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with them. I can't find anything about them other than their Etsy listings, and naturally, I... -

FS: Reproduction Type II Service Shoes 12 D (Same as 30's Work Boots fm Sears)
I have a pair of WWII Impressions Type II Service shoes for sale. I am jettisoning off gear I don't need and these fit the bill. They are used, with a small degree of wear but in a VERY SERVICEABLE condition. There are no big gouges in the leather, no loose stitching, and the soles have little...- lci419

Cuffing of Work Pants
Hello all, I just received a pair of fisher stripe work pants and was wondering what thoughts are on cuffing the bottoms. Was standard practice in the 30's-early 40's work pants to put a professional turned cuff in them, cuff them up a la a pair of jeans, or leave them hemmed without cuffs...- lci419

New Vintage Straw Fedora
Just had to brag about this one. Scored this beauty today, a "Bonar-Phelps" from New York, "Genuine Panama." In my size (7 1/8) with a 2 3/4" brim, and 4 3/4" crown. Band is a burgundy color, sweatband is leather in great condition. I'm guessing an early-mid 40's piece. Total including... -
Invisible Belts?
Several years ago I seem to remember looking through an early 40s (41-42) Wards catalog and seeing what I would term an "invisible belt." I might be nuts, but I think that's what I saw anyway...As I recall it was a belt made out of clear vinyl or something like that. Has anyone else seen...- lci419
