    Can someone help me authenticate this alleged vintage YSL tote?

    Welcome to the VFG forums, Aaliyeh. Please review the forum rules. We can usually help with dating, but we do not offer authentication services or pricing. I would be cautious about trusting AI 'bots like chat GPT. In my experience, they regurgitate pieces of information fed to them and polish...

    Mr. John / John P. John Milliner Rights Owner or representative

    I don't think that person will be able to help you. Even if they possess Mr. John's physical property, that does not give them rights to photographs taken of Mr. John hats in the past. Copyright laws can vary from one country to the next. Here in the U.S., the photographer owns the photo...

    Help with this men's smoking jacket - pre 1920s? and detail description?

    Silk. Huh. For the tape trim too? That sounds plausible, especially if the silk was a surface treatment that wore down over time, leaving the base fabric visible but intact. One could carefully use a black fabric pen to cover that brown subfabric but I rather like the dark patina.

    Help with this men's smoking jacket - pre 1920s? and detail description?

    I definitely do see similarities! Yours is gorgeous. Sadly, mine is not perfect. There’s a 2” fabric tear where the shoulder seam meets the back of the neck. Covered by the collar, but nonetheless.

    Help with this men's smoking jacket - pre 1920s? and detail description?

    It has clearly been loved and worn - midnight blue cotton velvet, shawl collar, lightly padded shoulders, those intricate frogs, and lots of channel stitched satin trim. First - I picture the wearer in his den or a gentlemen's club circa 1910s, but I don't handle much pre-1920s. Am I about...

    Palmerston Suit

    On a quick look around, Lord Palmerston had a long political career, and was known as something of a playboy - some folks referred to him as Lord Cupid. But he was born in 1874, so by the mid 1800s. he was in his 60s. I didn't find anything that referred to his style habits, but FWIW his...
