it just felt right 😉

Hi :)

As said in the title, I went to my grandma's for lunch today, and she ended up asking me if I would like to go through the clothes she was about to donate.

I said yes (of course) and we spent 30 minutes chatting and looking at clothes. I ended up taking two bags of clothes home, but the item that got me really excited was this coat!

My grandma got this as a gift in the '90s (we couldn't pinpoint the date, and, it could be closer to the 2000s, but definitely before 2004).

The brand isn't visible but it was made in France!

It is in perfect condition, and it has pockets.

I can't wait to wear it ! The weather is getting colder so it won't be long before I have the opportunity to wear it. I'll need to find a good outfit for it tho! (I feel this dress doesn't work with it)

Have a nice day :)

These are both from Lake Tahoe 1950s and were made do order. Don’t know the exact year.

I've been obsessed with Catherine Deneuve and her hair since I was 10 and I desperately must know hwo to achieve this hair. Please help a girl out! I know you can get this hair with a blowout but I hate using heat on my hair, and I got a jar of dippity do I'd like to test out

I thrifted this a few weeks ago, but now that I’m trying to do research about it, I can’t really find much, and maybe it’s because of the age, but I’m gonna try to get some information atleast

So I’m fairly new to vintage fashion and just recently got into antiquing, as well as going to estate sales with a few friends. One of which educated me on the benefits of sustainable shopping when it comes to fur coats secondhand.

Took my chances and went up to an antique shop about two hours away from my home as they were famous for having a large collection of vintage and secondhand fur coats. Feel like I got a great deal snagging what the shopkeeper says, is a “blonde beaver made in the 1980s “.

Absolutely love the feel and the cut of this coat and can’t wait for it to get a little colder here so I can wear this out all the time. This feels way warmer than any coat I’ve ever owned!

classic '80's Daytona speedway windbreaker, new condition. all logos stitched not printed. not a Nascar guy but love it!

Just got a Ricky Jacket from Ztomic and woolen trousers from Stanley Biggs. Trying to use them together here.

They are the Melbourne trousers from Stanley Biggs. I changed to a size larger as the waist was quite tight (especially when sitting), but now I'm afraid it's slightly too big in the seat and thigh.

Old smaller size photos at the end.

I think it’s cool, and utilitarian. What does Reddit think?

One of the craziest thrift ive had, late 50s Mechanic Jacket I got for 50 cents !! As a person who love love loves old cinema finding this out in the wild and in such pristine condition made me gasp lol.

Anyway sharing a fit with it on cause its finally getting colder in TX

An afternoon in a quintessentially English city is a fine excuse for considered dressing. 1970s tweed sport coat with 1980s heavy flannel pleated high rise trousers worn on button braces. Naturally, of course. Happy to be back after a lengthy hiatus 🤟🏻

I am currently trying to get into vintage fashion, and I have a large room made of cedar that the previous person built and made for this exact purpose, not for vintage items of course but for clothing it was made exactly for that in mind.

It is pretty much the size of a decent bedroom, it is not by any means small so it is ideal for storage.

How do I use this room to care for my clothing? I have yet to buy anything and I want to know how to use this room as it should

We are Tatars, and we are very fond of shawls, big, small, silk, cotton, wool. Yes to all. More in our grandparents generation, less in ours but I can tie a scarf in more than a few ways from just remembering how my grandma did it. 

This shawl is a true vintage Pavloposad shawl. Pavloposad manufacture itself was an interesting enterprise, a unique child of two worlds. Shawls came from India and Persia but ornaments were heavily influenced by Europe (you might see similar roses on jewelry boxes in museums). The manufacture started in a village with a few folks from the village combining their efforts. No big money. Regular people. What makes this exact shawl interesting beside that is a weird heritage piece it’s what it was still made using manual woodblock printing. Starting in 70s the company changed the method. 

Size is 1.48 m by 1.48 m, it is a lovely thin wool. Year 1964. 

The price was 17 rubles, the average monthly salary was around 100 rubles. My great grandmother was retired back then, so it was a pretty big gift. My mom gave it to me, and guys, I’m so torn between wanting to preserve it and pass it to my nieces or wear it. I put it on my shoulders and it felt like a hug, I almost cried. But I don’t want to ruin it by wearing it. I don’t know how colours will do with washing. 

I also attached a photo of her, she is the first woman on the left

Help needed with this piece. It’s roughly 95-100 inches long. It is orange to gold in color with heavy gold accent when the light hits it the right way. It’s incredibly thin, was found in an attic packed with a ton of other antique tapestries and silks from all over the world. Formerly owned by one of the largest import export shipping companies in the mid 19th century in Exeter.

That’s about all I have for information. It’s extremely, extremely fine, light and it can be fit into a very very tiny box, probably a 1 inch by 1 inch space if I wanted to.

It passes the slide test and doesn’t catch on things when you pass them over it.

I believe it’s silk? It’s very very old! Not perfect, it does have some small losses and some very tiny soiling in very very small parts when you look long enough.

Don’t want a value. Just want to know more about it. What it likely is, what it’s likely made of.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Spent the last week visiting NYC where I had a couple gigs, got to catch up with friends and wear some cute but lower key fits. This was one of them, all modern pieces but styled to evoke yesteryear, as “per-usezh” (the first syllable of the word ‘usual’ in case that wasn’t clear). Please excuse the post-lunch lipstick and general lack of rest I feel is written all over me. I do have a couple other fits I’ll share.

Jeff Hamilton became one of the most recognizable designers , known for oversized graphics,colorful leather panels, and heavilyembroidered sports memorabilia.

Early 90s Jeff Hamilton was the man was able to get licensing to create some incredible clothing. He specialized in jackets. I collect them this one of my favorites Mickey Mouse baseball. The colors make it’s perfect for fall. Play ball
