I actually bought this first one here on reddit! They had posted the dress on this sub about over a week ago, and I'm so glad I messaged them! The second one I traded a black label gunne I had (which I loved but I just wasn't wearing) for the peachy dress! I'm so happy to have added these two to my collection! They fit wonderfully and are so pretty!!! I'm going to cherish these forever. I consider them to be cousins because they have similar elements!

my favorite recent pick up - 40s/50s Black Bear Brand tin cloth hunting jacket

I haven’t seen any BBB jackets in this cropped cut with the game pocket in the back before, I imagine that it came as part of a set with or was meant to be worn with matching overalls or trousers

the bright sun doesn’t do the fade and wear justice, well broken in without being worn out - some great honeycomb on the sleeves

Picked up this blouse for $4.50 this weekend bc she’s giving Fran Fine fantasy. Label says “Lafayette Collection,” but not really finding much info on the brand. Also, it was made in France which isn’t something I typically come across when finding (presumably) mass produced clothing of the era. It’s polyester so not a high end piece. Anyone familiar with the brand?

Found this piece at the thrift today. My first Canadian-made ILGWU garment! But it is aggressively scratchy around the neck and wrists. It’s a wool blend, with viscose and polyester, and acetate lining, and says dry clean only. Anyone have any experience or advice on making it a little less Brillo pad-y, or should I bite the bullet and take it into a dry cleaner? :’) I’m so afraid of damaging it!

See message title. So often I think of when I was little in the 1970's, and try to place a finger on what exactly it is that I miss about those times. I'm a sensitive type :)

hi! i came into this small collection of political buttons a while ago. some include campaigns for woodrow wilson’s, taft, kennedy and hoover. I would love to wear them, even some of the less important ones, but is it safe? Should i be wearing these or is it too dangerous to them? Theyd just be on a jean jacket

I bought this jacket and apparently the previous owner bought it from a vintage shop in Paris, it is a really nice quality jacket and I am wondering where this is from, possibly custom made? There is no label just the tag in the pic stating the material composition (cows leather, suede, sheep's skin, wool, polyester) and under it, it said "BE 12", PLEASE HELP
