Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

[reetpleat]

Personally, I insist that all my suits be made of hemp. Then if things get eally bad, I can alwasy smoke it.

Since I brought it up, any vintage era or modern suits made of hemp?

 

[reetpleat]

At nearly $300 US, I decided I didn't need yet another overcoat since I have so few to begin with (cough cough ) but this was a beauty!

Before cotton became popular the three common plant (i.e. not wool or hair)staples for spinning and weaving were flax, hemp and jute. All are still used for clothing, bags and ropes (particularly in areas where cotton won't grow) and are superior to cotton in terms of durability at the expense of softness.

OK, It's a hatbox, but what a cool hatbox.

This was one of those pre-register and place your bid auctions on Ebay that you hardly ever win. I don't even like to waste the time. However, in this case, I made an exception. I didn't win but may attempt to make one of these someday.

What a fabulous hat box! Clearly it was meant for you, what with the "C" and all.

Very cool. I like the inserts.

This suit was almost exactly my size, and surely would have fit with minor alterations. It would have been my first vintage suit but, alas, it was not meant to be. I was outbid.

I *love* the style of the vest. Is vintage the only way to go to get that look and quality for the price?

I am so sorry I missed this.

Art Deco Amber Cufflinks

Any views on these from Bulgaria?

 

[scotrace]

They look fine from the US - do they look different if you're in Bulgaria?

(I like em)

Just won: belted back linen suit, plain back linen suit, some shirts, some slacks, and a scarf!

Also: be on the lookout for a larger sized palm beach suit. I can't decide whether I should try to clean it myself or just sell it "as is"

 

[carter]

I have been trying to find a pair of vintage ankle boots for a long time. I almost won these tonjght but not quite.

Hello Slicedbread,

I would, if i were you, clean the palm beach suit myself. It's insanely easy stuff to clean. It can take a lot of agitation without damage - if the fabric is sound. Don't put it in the washing machine! Hand clean only. I used a generic fake oxy clean on mine, and it came out great.

I knew i should have bought that lot first time around. If i was still in the US, i would have.

Cool. None of these pieces are particularly rare or sought after in and of themselves. BUt o have them all together in one kit is really cool, and then to have them from savile row, even cooler. ANd for that price!

Actually, I just finished testing a new (to me) cleaning product. I tested it on a variety of vintage textiles, and took photos of the process, and was going to write a review. The results on linen in particular were astounding.

Slicedbread, if you want to contact me, I will give product info.

Everyone else gets to wait for my review.
