Mclovin, I think we will need better pictures to be able to help ID the fur. If you can please take photos in daylight on a person or model and try to get them as in focus as possible.

Hi Ken, as per the forum rules we cannot help value your item, please look at ebay solds for any examples or perhaps contact a specialist auction house that deals in western wear or cowboy boots.

I was also thinking this is not a shirt! :BAGUSE: flap front drawers? are there any fastenings on the square edge or at the sides?

Yes very!

Hi, as I said above, it's clear to me from looking at the whole timeline that that they have not used photos of the items they are talking about it the quotes for many of the slides. They do not claim to either. They make no reference to the images above the quotes at all, they appear to be...

Sorry Joan, that is confusing. I just didn't expect them to have leather soles. The listing didn't show those photos, the shoes in the ebay listing are 1980s. Interestingly Charles Jourdan made a very similar style, and then made several variations of it. I didn't know it was originally Roger...

Joan I don't think the ebay listing you found has anything to do with the shoes she is enquiring about, which do look 1950's to me. They have been dyed however, as the colour extends onto the soles and it should not. I have just listed a pair of Delman shoes from the 1950's marked on the inside...

It looks 60's 70's to me, but I would try asking Chanel, with that backstamp they may well have the records for it.

Hi Emily, can you show the whole hat, and lining please?

Is that button real mother of pearl/shell or imitation plastic? If you can show the front without the shine, and the back (a real one is layered like flint) it would help. I agree with Nicole the button looks a lot newer, much like those I see on dresses from the 90's or later.

Hi Kelly, I take it from your favourite brands you're in the UK? I'm in the east midlands. I would LOVE to see your 1950's Frank Usher dress. I bought one this summer and it is now my new favourite, I tried to find another one but sadly they are few and far between! I also hoard a collection of...

Can you see any brand markings on the press studs/snap fasteners? and what is the decoration creating the harlequin pattern shaded areas? is that cut outs, embroidery or metal strips woven in? Some further photos of this would help. The flowers/embroidery chosen do not strike me as typical...

This got me thinking, what if it's a faded dry cleaner's label that has then been written on for owner ID? To those who've seen these old dry cleaner's tags before - have they been written on in marker pen or was it printed or written carefully in ink like custom made garment labels? It's the...

I didn't know those were called coffin pleats either! My first thought was that was an costume owner's label. I find most often that black pen marked labels are wardrobe costume labels - it also appears to have been stapled on. A sign they don't have time to go sewing on every label as an...

I agree, the fabric is the sort I find on 1960's cocktail and evening gowns so I wonder if it was remade from a period maxi dress, but we still sell that trim today on the market and the sleeve line, combined with the drop waist and boat neck all look 80's.

Hello Velvet! (curious minds want to know is that your first name?) If so how lush! This is a great place to learn, I joined as a guest a few years ago for similar reasons and have never looked back. If you haven't already, I'd start by reading through some of the guides on the website, such as...

Thanks everyone.

I'm struggling to find ads to help me date these boots that I think are from the 90's but might be later. I'm hoping somebody may remember the quirks in this style and be able to tell me when they were in fashion! or at least narrow it down. They have a square end pointed toe, a rectangular heel...

Just photographed this great little 70's dress by them, and I have come across the label several times before but I can't find anything about them other than the trademark was valid between 1948-1997. The quality is similar to Berkertex and I expect they were more a highstreet brand than a...

basketweave tweed?

Gorgeous coat - it has that 'expensive' look written all over it! I'm seeing 1950's.

I would like to compare a label in a jacket I've seen that I suspect is 1930's but am struggling to find labels on any listings. I have requested some but in the meantime could you have a look in your files? The label I have seen is Fenwick (s?) New Bond Street W (corner of Brook street)

She's thinking 'I must not crease this skirt, or I'll have to iron it again'

I'm getting a 1960's feel about this, the colour, the trims.

The label supplies a lot of additional info - what price it originally retailed for, what sizes it came in, who it was aimed at. Great share.

It sounds much like our Clarks, who in general only made bags to match shoes originally. I came across these by accident today on Pinterest, they are housed in The Charleston Museum and labelled Mademoiselle. The fabric and embroidery matches my bag exactly, so I take it Mademoiselle was a Town...

Midge I just had out a pair of purple snakeskin fabric boots I thought would be *Perfect* for someone's Halloween get up, maybe as a Lady Vampire hmm? Unfortunately I don't think they are vintage yet.
