I picked up this early 1900s Hollander's jacket at a thrift shop 5 years ago. I know it's not a suit, but I didn't see any other forum that seemed to fit. I was wondering if anyone had any information on Sam and his store as I love learning the provenance of the things I buy. I could only find a...
