    Someone PM'd me asking what antique absinthe spoons, glasses and carafes look like. Good question! Here are some examples that date back to about 1900. They're from a collection that's much bigger than our own. Aren't they lovely?

    My latest Vintage Leather-

    Nope, because Chile has been mass-importing used clothing from Germany, Canada and the U.S.A. since 1992. Bales of old clothes arrive weekly, and their contents are distributed to used clothing stores all over the country. For some strange reason, lots of pre-WWII overcoats, leather jackets...

    Sanitary Belts

    GOOD NEWS! It turns out that tampons have been around since World War II. We don't have to use sanitary belts to be vintage correct. Here's an ad from a 1943 issue of True Story magazine:

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    If a seller has measured the chest and it comes up as 42 inches, this does not mean that the coat is a size 42. Most likely, the trench coat's size is at least 4 inches less than the chest measurement. In other words, a trench coat with a 42 inch chest is probably a size 38 (or less!) If...

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    Exactly right. I'd go about ten years further back in time. The 1950s brought dungarees to the fore. City school officials didn't like jeans, but "juvenile delinquents" (or were they "greaser hoodlums"?) wore them anyway. So did bikers, motorhead WWII vets with wanderlust and a taste for...

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    Well, as we all know, the common man and woman won. It was they who took jeans ("dungarees"), sneakers, t-shirts and khakis out of their functional niches (the farms and ranches, the playing fields, the army barracks) and brought them to city streets, schools and suburbs.
