DISCUSSION I purchased this leather jacket under the impression it was a Hercules, but I cannot find anything that proves that it is. It looks like one to me, but there’s no markings that say what it is any help would be graciously appreciated.

ADVICE PLZ Stains on jacket

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I have been trying to get this stain out. I tried hydrogen peroxide alone and with dish soap on the front by the moose, the stain is still the same. I can try it on the sleeves, if anyone has advice on how to better use it, that would help. I'm not sure what kind of stain this is and it has been frustrating. I don't want to take my clothes to a dry cleaner, since it is expensive. Do you think that biz powder detergent or shout stain remover would work better? I have heard that it is good on vintage clothes. Any other suggestions? Also, I have heard that oxiclean and bleach are not good.

Hi all!

I'm doing a little reproduction project of some Hollywood glamour era peignoir sets and dressing gowns. Was wondering if anyone here has any beautiful, dreamy sleep/dressing garment references from film.

Thinking of this Barbara Stanwyck set in Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). It's super cute, even though I think the high neckline would drive me insane lol.

What do you think of the fit? I'm afraid the sleeves are a bit too short, but I think a size up would make everything else too big, especially the shoulders even though they are padded.

It's by ztomic shirts

Pants are Stanley Biggs

Boots are bright shoemakers

This is a 1974 Avon Queen Anne's Lace necklace that belonged to my great-grandmother. It seems a shame to let it collect dust in a jewelry box. I'm really not sure what I could pair it with tough.

1970s Wanted to Share My New-to-Me Shirt!

Purchased this shirt on eBay a few weeks ago. It was advertised as being from the 1970s. After looking at it and wearing it, it most definitely feels like the 70s. I am brand new to finding and wearing vintage clothing, so I can’t pinpoint an exact year, but I guess mid to late 70s. Label was there at one point in time, but was removed. The material is very soft. All buttons intact, though when I sit it does like to pop open in the bust, and there isn’t much bust there to begin with. Pants are new, not vintage at all. Having trouble finding vintage pants that fit my body.

ADVICE PLZ Storing antique garments

4 Upvotes

I have a collection of antique Syrian and Palestinian garments and I'm wondering the best way to store them? Currently the oldest pieces are folded in clean cotton pillowcases and put in a box with a few holes in so they can breathe. Unfortunately I have to fold them as I don't have floor space for full length garment boxes. I also can't put them in a wardrobe as I fear moths may get at them. Is this an okay solution or does anyone else have any ideas ?
