    Update on Condition: 40's Swing Jacket

    Thanks so much. I forgot to note that ther is not even a piece of a label in it, but it's definitely NOT home made. The jacket got very wet on one of my cross-country moves. Long story short, I had it drycleaned asap by the 'good' cleaners. Ten years later, the gabardine is very stiff...

    Don't think it's Vintage ...

    Thanks everyone. I don't think it's the Virginia Slims brand. It's another seller's belt. My first thought was Venezia Jeans - the Lane Bryant brand. Anyway - we tried.

    Update on Condition: 40's Swing Jacket

    Update on Condition: 40\'s Swing Jacket This is odd. I took the jacket out of it's plastic garment bag a week or two ago. Since then, the fabric has softened up tremendously - to the point that I'm thinking about deleting the mention of it in my description. Burpee said she bets it's due to...

    I have a question about keywords or terms, please

    Hmmmm - well that makes sense, I guess. Maybe I should ask one of the sellers who uses it. Thanks ladies. I think a list would be awesome. Maybe I can try to start one.

    Please Help me - Eisenberg 40s Dress Suit.

    Good point, Amber. I'm taking it to the dry cleaner this week. It needs to be pressed or steamed, anyway, so why not go for it. As I don't plan to sell it *cheap*, it'll go on my site. Thanks again, y'all.

    Vintage Lee jeans, any info would help!!, thanks!

    Super bell is telling me late 60s - early 70s. By any chance is there a Union Label or an RN # label inside them? They're groovy.

    Here's the skirt: W 34 by Length 32 Front & Back are solid pieces of fabric - no gores or seams. No vent, kick pleat, or anything like that. My next question is... Is it too warm to list this now? I plan to put it on my site and / or main street rather than debay.
