    Beautiful! I'd love to find one of those.

    Vintage pictures of wild patterned sweaters

    An interesting observation! Editing to add: Perhaps the parachutes are the crew members that have bailed out of the enemy planes that were shot down. :-)

    Deadstock Jantzen P-38 Lockheed Lightning Sweater

    Sadly, not within my price range: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Jantzen-1940s-P38-mens-sweater-/151421724385?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item23417026e1

    Vintage pictures of wild patterned sweaters

    A deadstock Jantzen P-38 sweater with hangtag. (Not my auction and definitely not in my price range!) Love the description inside the hangtag! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Jantzen-1940s-P38-mens-sweater-/151421724385?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item23417026e1

    Saw this painted on the side of a barn in Michigan's "thumb" area. A statement in favor of organic farming, perhaps? Actually, the artists say it's a statement on corporate America. The couple represent CEO's, wearing "golden gas masks" because "they aren't breathing the same air as everyone...

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    A helpful member of another forum I frequent has solved the mystery. She kindly posted a page of her 1946 Von Lengerke & Antoine catalog which contains this very item! For those who may not know, A&F acquired VL&A of Chicago in 1928 but VL&A continued to operate under their own name until they...

    That would have definitely gone home with me, too, even though I don't have any fancy silverware to put in it!

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    Thanks again, Dinerman. Since A&F claims they are washable, I may give it a go with the dirtier pair and see what happens.

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    Wow, I never would have come up with the idea of an undergarment, thank you! Archive.org has the full text of the 1916 A&F catalog and it does mention a selection of washable chamois garments, "Light, soft and pliable and washes perfectly without hardening. A great protection against wind and...

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    Believe it or not, that actually occurred to me but I can't find any info in that direction, either. I do hope so! Editing to add: The length seems long for riding breeches. These would reach the ankles. (Though jodhpurs are ankle-length, I don't think they'd typically have a tie at the ankle.)

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    Thanks, I'll look that up. Any guesses on age or what these pants would be used for? Editing to add: They seem rather delicate for riding...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I'm hoping for assistance in pinning down the decade of this Lion of Troy dress shirt. Black Tie Guide has a couple photos of a "Lion Brand" shirt that seems similar but I can't make them big enough (with enough definition) to see if it's the same shirt. They attribute their shirt to the 1900s...

    Abercrombie & Fitch chamois leather sporting trousers... teens/20s?

    I'm thinking these are pretty old but would love some opinions, please. If you look very closely, the font on the label is more curlicue than a similar label used in the 50s. The trousers are chamois leather, not fabric. The buttons are silk-covered and on the back is printed S. & U. KOBENHAVN...

    Just recently picked up a pair of unworn late 1940s British Walkers. My size length-wise (9 US) but, sadly, too narrow (AA).

    I picked up this US Navy "Donald Duck" hat today and it came with what looks like a sash... but on closer inspection is actually a large scarf rolled and stitched in a few places so it doesn't come undone. Any ideas what this was for? I'm afraid I don't know much about this. Thanks!
