    Help needed on confirming date of tweed suit

    Hello, I would really appreciate some input on this suit I bought for my husband for Christmas. I just got it in the mail today, and it feels a little off to me for some reason. It has a 1941 dated tag inside, but the date is kind of darker than the rest of the label- it looks like it may...

    Ew! Armpit stink!

    Couldn't resist the title ;) I have a great 1940s coat I bought online but it absolutely reeked of underarm perspiration. I got it dry cleaned and it looks clean, but you can tell the smell is just being covered up by an ungodly amount of perfumed spray. Is there any hope for my coat? Any...

    Hi. Does anyone know the history of embroidering Navy tunics with motifs? I just got one that is embroidered on the inside back with a large anchor and the cuffs have a simple wavy design. Was this popular during WWII, and are they valuable to collectors, or did I just find something that...
