    Mention in Metafilter (the green "clothing" link) https://www.metafilter.com/199132/Textile-workers-of-the-world-unite She gives a very nice shoutout to the VFG. Apparently we date back to Girl Boss era so we are ancient!

    Modern Masters/Fuller Fabrics Print

    Found the link https://krex.k-state.edu/handle/2097/19686 FYI it's a large download so it's best to open it up on a regular computer and not a smartphone.

    Modern Masters/Fuller Fabrics Print

    I have a photocopy of an article from American Fabrics (Winter 1955 - 56) about Modern Master fabrics and don't see any examples of this pattern. It has a great look. Could it be an Associated American Artists print? Somewhere I have a link to a PDF with images of all (or most) of their fabric...

    So..... do all Z-racks come apart so easily?

    I do have z-racks that screw in at the bottom but I've bought so many over the years that I couldn't tell you specifically which brand they are.

    Oh wow - I love this! That pattern is wild - maybe it's 40s? It's so hard to say without a label!

    I have this blouse and I’m certain I’ve seen the print before, I think it may be AAA any help?

    It does look like an AAA print. I have a PDF on my home computer that shows a bunch of their fabrics. I’ll post it later

    Interesting article in the New York Times about second hand clothing...

    I don't even bother with thrift stores anymore. They are SO picked over. When I do go in there is always a t-shirt guy or young woman with her phone out, buying anything that's remotely good. As Hollis said, we do get quite a bit of LL Bean stuff but it's always expensive. I just don't have the...

    HElP Fuller fabrics modern masters dress?

    Oh that is FANTASTIC! I had a Claire McCardell/Fernand Leger Modern Masters dress many years ago and it went to a renowned collector. Somewhere I have the photocopies of an article about the Modern Master that I will try to find today. What an amazing find!

    Brand New w Price Tag (?) Vintage Gap Corduroys?

    With that paper tag and label, I am pretty sure that those are 70s. They are fantastic! Bell-bottoms are back in style so they are very on trend. And now I have the 70s Gap jingle in my head!

    What's 'In' for spring 2022... 90s revival?

    I wholesale a ton of 90s stuff. 70s is doing well for me too. Bell-bottoms are back! And, don't get mad at me, I had a massive Y2K haul recently that I expect will do well at Brimfield. The woman worked at Maurice in the early 2000s and she SHOPPED. I have Playboy shirts, low-rise shorts with...

    Need Help Dating These Men's Wool Striped Pants, 1920s or 1930s perhaps?

    What MJ said! Also, did you look behind the interior pockets for a label? Sometimes they are hidden there.

    70s vintage big bold pattern slips

    Those are beautiful! They remind me so much of something my mom would have worn. I'm just prepping a fun 70s animal print nylon kaftan to list. I love a good 70s print!

    help dating this LL Bean olive plaid lined jacket

    I'm pretty sure it's contemporary or not quite old enough to be vintage. They started outsourcing their manufacturing to Asia in the mid-90s. I don't think LL Bean stuff is faked. Unfortunately, the quality isn't quite what it used to be (as I look down at my contemporary LL Bean flannel shirt...

    Back again with a more modern item.. y2k??

    I see Y2K too. I just had a house call at the home of a woman who worked in the mall in the early 2000s and there was a lot of stuff like this - including some stretchy shirts that are TINY (like 6" x 6") but with lots of stretch.
