1940s DB, Slacks and Gaberdine Shirt
Ahoy! I've finally got around to clearing out the old closet and well, here's what I found... First up is this Double breasted number I bought a few years ago which sadly was a smidge to small for me. The only thing wrong with it is a tear on the cuff. Jacket: Length: 29 inches...- Jay

Large Size Brown Suit. Late 40s?
Howdy. Up for grabs is this what I believe to be late 40s suit, sized for a larger gentleman than myself. It's not perfect, as the pictures will show. One of the cuff buttons is broken, the left hand pocket is frayed slightly and there is a mothhole below the left waist pocket. Other than the...- Jay

Press Pass!
Howdy! I was thinking of going as a press photographer from the 40s for halloween and since I'm such a snob for details I wanted to know if anyone had a good example of one of the presscards commonly found in the hatbands of those stereotyped newspaper guys. I think I've only seen them in...- Jay

Care for gabardine shirts?
Howdy gang- I just got one of those NOS flap-pocket gabardine shirts but the trouble is the tag has been cut off at some point. I'm assuming one of you out there know the proper way to care for these things? It fits perfectly at the moment and I'm afraid washing wrong will shrink the hell out...- Jay

WTB-Beater Hat Size 7
I've trying to find a decent hat with a bound brim, in a light brown or gray. I'm not too concerned about something with high miles, as I tend to beat the hell out my hats, just as long as I can wear it right away. Preferably with a brim that's not too stingy, if possible. I know that's not...- Jay

Big 1940s Suit
Ok folks, I've got another one to sell. It's an early 50s two button number made by Gentry for J. C. Penneys. I know Penneys got the Gentry label in 1946, but lapels seem kind of narrow for that period. It's got me stumped anyhow. (Click the photo to see the whole album. And let me know if...- Jay

Sliced Suit
So today I found a VERY nice late 40s to early 50s black flecky suit, tunnel belt-loops, pleated patch pockets, hollywood waist and all that, but the only trouble is someone took a pair of scissors (!!!) and cut 2 inches into the back of the suit at the bottom and a 1/2 slice at the cuff. I... -

Vintage Car Accoutrements
Hello all, First off, as some of you know I finally got a vintage car back in June and it's been great. However, two things come to mind when ever I go for a drive. 1-Does anyone make those registration holder things that hang from the steering column? (If you're unfamiliar, Bogie checks...- Jay

RRL Jacket
Well I went to get a jacket from the hall closet the other day and found this number. Apparently one of my relatives saw it a yardsale and thought I'd like it (making this known really pays off). It's made in a lighter weight cotton that's just right for spring and has some nice details like a...- Jay

//SOLD//1940s DB Blue Suit//SOLD//
Well, I hate to let this go, but it is simply too BIG for me. Yeah, I'm a skinny guy. It's got some really wide lapels, two outward-facing pleats, tiny watch pocket below the waistband, dropped belt-loops, suspender buttons on the inside of the waistband, nothing too flashy, though. It's got no...- Jay

Hat Store in the Philadelphia Region
I've just spent the last 20 minutes searching for a hat store in my tri-state area so I can have a couple of my hats reblocked, sweatbands reattached and what-have-you. So far I've turned up absolutely nothing. Closest thing I found was a couple stores that sell hats. I figured this would be the...
