Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
DanielPetmr Thanks for weighing in. To respond to your tips: Replacing the clip would unfortunatley take away from the whole "shirley president" aesthetic ..the logo is on those clips so swapping a generic pair is going to make them look like repro's. I'm still toying around with the idea of...- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
Update: Greetings guys- Ok so i got the sliders but unfortunately they are quite. Ive read that the metal composition is brass with nickle plating..and ive tried to clean but i stopped because i think the nickle has completely worn off and so there's no chance of getting it as shiny as my...- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
UPDATE: I did end up purchasing the twin sliders..i guess at this point i'm going to hold off on the repair project and see how close those replacement sliders will look when compared to mine (in terms of color tone) because i know often times, time will discolor them in different ways but then...- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
I wonder how though?..its missing the tiny curved hook as illustrated on photo..i can see using JB Weld if it was say a crack or something but in this case its missing the piece that holds the slider in place.- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
OMG!! I cant believe it!!!! ..There they are, going over now to confer with seller. Its an understatement to say how much i appreciate both your lightning fast response and potentially "putting me out of my misery". I did check on E before but only ran into the rusted sliders and thought...- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
Just realized there is no option to edit thread (apparently only title) but anyway i wanted to add that i do not know the composition of the metal clip and as i'm sure you'll surmise that this broken-off piece is very tiny indeed. Cheers.- 1on1

Shirley President suspenders- Repair options anyone?
Ok so i finally did it!! Got my hands on the mother of all suspenders, its a beauty but obviousley as the title suggests, with flaws. I think the photos say it better..on one of the clips, the curved hook (for lack of a better word) that holds the front clip in place has broken. I am hoping to...- 1on1

Ok so Shirley President Suspenders are out of reach..how about these?
Blackadder- Yea dry bones one not my cup of tea but i had stumbled on that other japanese brand doing the suspenders but not very user friendly as his site is strictly japanese..what would be great is if he's willing to part with just the vintage cord ends, i think i want to build my own..just...- 1on1

Ok so Shirley President Suspenders are out of reach..how about these?
Hats off to everyone up in here..so ive been searching high and low for a pair of braces that kinda come close to a pair of the Shirley President ones (minus the intricate detail in the back)..so i watched this 1930's period Danish/Norwegian flick about kids sent away to a reform school and this...- 1on1

Name this shirt..

Name this shirt..
Well i wish it was as generic and plentiful as "Harry", sadly not. -

Name this shirt..
re: SM Wholesale, everything but...unfortunatley. There must be an original hidden in someone's closet somewhere, its always a game of patience when it comes to vintage, as mentioned, i'm really not a militaria buff, but that shirt and a french cyclist jacket are the two items in my cross hairs. -

Name this shirt..
UPDATE: indeed its eventually surfaced. Its a WW2 Afrikacorps shirt - which i suspect would be much harder to find than say a US/UK/Canadian army shirt..oh well, its a step forward atleast.
