Thanks for pointing that out. I am still getting used to the US eBay and USPS as opposed to the UK eBay, and something went pear-shaped here. Shipping to the UK would still be $10 according to the USPS shipping calculator.
I have a few things for the ladies up on eBay:
Green knit cardigan:

I showed this in the Ties thread, and I've just put it up on eBay:

It looks like a very close-trimmed 'tache, almost stubble under the nose. Byron Foulger wore a similar one for several of his characters.
Regarding the Victorians, their moustaches had nothing to do with straight razors, they were the result of changing taste and fashion. It has been...
And the hand shoved in the pocket.
I've got a linen suit in the works that I'm putting double breast pockets on, along with a four-patch-pocket waistcoat.
I like them both, but I'd never wear the bowling one, and the other is nice but not one I'd wear much, so I'd rather they went to someone who would use them.
Some recent Goodwill finds.
Plain, but with an interesting tag. Haven't been able to find any info about leaders uniforms from the time.
This one went to eBay
This one will, too.
Yes, it's the EvaDress pattern. It's a shame the pattern isn't multi size, I'd make a new one for myself. As it is I bought an early '50s dressing gown pattern with a db front and peak and shawl lapels to replace it. I need to find appropriate fabric, though.
I've got some more things up that don't fit anymore. Couple of these are a wrench to let go, but I'd rather replace them with things that fit better. These are things I've tailored for myself.
Green wool dressing gown, about a 40-42 chest though the buttons can be moved out easily. The...
Seems like a good price for a suit like this. I would wear this hiking in a heartbeat. It would be perfect for hiking the Tahquamenon trails in the fall.
Was it made by the War Department, or just acquired by the War Department? Several of Henry VIII's armours and other 15th and 16th century pieces have a WD stamp on the interior, since they were technically part of the national armoury in the Tower.
I've seen Bringing Up Baby, but not Mr Lucky yet.
The suit I would wear in a heartbeat (and it will probably go on my to-do list when I've perfected my db waistcoat pattern).
