I'm posting here as I cannot find any sub headings, maybe I have simply passed over a page so apologies if I have.
I have a Wilsons baseball jersey from the 50s 60s era and would like some info on it please. Not being the greatest sports clothing specialist I wondered if there is a page /topic/thread on this sort of thing.
Many thanks, JT

For the last 30 years Wilsons have been in the hands of a Finland company name of Amer Sports. Wiki gives a fascinating potted history of Wilsons, see here. If you search E-Bay you will find the value of a shirt like your's.

Piece of totally unnecessary information: Amer used to be a cigarette and tobacco producer, until they decided that there’s no future in cigarettes, dropped nicotinebusiness once and for all and bought bunch of sports brands (including Wilson) and renamed their company Amer sports.

So is this (Outerwear) the best page to post items of vintage sports wear from the 'Golden era'? Outerwear is pretty obvious to those looking at leather jackets, overcoats etc but where can you show things such as 30s baseball or American football items as they are worn outside but not classed as 'Outerwear'.
Thanks

Thread moved to general attire as the appropriate place. I think you might see it get more attention here as well - anything in outwear does tend to get buried if it's not leather. ;)
