I stopped in at a vintage clothing shop in Waltham, Massachusetts this morning and found Carrie. She has a beautiful shop, clean and bright and so well organized. She's on Moody Street, an eclectic area full of wonderful shops and restaurants. It was a pleasure to talk to her about vintage...

Condition is very, very important. Mine had condition issues and didn't sell for much. I have seen them sell for $600, $800, and $1300. It depends on style and condition.

I sold a Sulka robe recently from 1955. I don't see your pictures. Can you try again?

It sounds like you are considering a color laser printer. I don't have one of those, but I have been using a black and white laser for years. I used to use an Epson until it broke. It lasted several years. I've been using a Konica Minolta now for just over a year. It works perfectly, never a...

I want a signed copy too.

Thanks, Janine. I'll mention that to the buyer.

Now there's another concise term.;)

Ah yes, fishstique, you've got it.

Thank you. I'll combine those words and call them "half-insole pads."

Thanks, eel. I wonder if there is an official name for them. Would you call these shoes Mary Janes or T-Straps?

It has some very strong adhesive that glues it down to the inner sole. I can't get it out without tearing out the Ferragamo inner sole. Anyway, I want to disclose this, but I don't know what to call it. Thank you.

Thanks very much, I'll try your suggestions.

it's attracting no interest on eBay. To me, it seems to be covered in Easter pastel colored gumdrops. It's pristine, and nice and large. Could I improve on my keywords for the ebay listing? I just realized I didn't use the word tote on ebay. I will add that to the title. Ebay listing for...

Me too, please.

The same thing happened to me in January. I called them, told them I had not requested anything that entailed a monthly fee of $14.95. They said they would cancel it and refund me. I forgot about it until February when they again debited my account. This time I just submitted a chargeback...

I sold one in a size 14 Long about 6 months ago for about $200. That's more than I used to get for them. I think they are coming back.

I'm thinking embossed leather. What do you think? And what kind of reptile skin is it emulating? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm so glad I got it yesterday. Today I have some kind of intestinal bug and have been sleeping and emptying myself of everything inside, it seems. I also have a temp of 100. :violins:

Hey, I just noticed the odd spelling of Outdoorsman on the label--Outdorsman.

The jacket was still in the store. It's a great jacket; I'm glad I got it. Here are some pics:

Got it! Pics later.

Okay, okay, okay. If it's still there, I'll pick it up today. Thanks, Mary.

I almost bought it today, but thought I would look it up first. On ebay, Pendleton and Woolrich both use the term. The one I saw is the brand name "Outdoorsman" -- no other name --and is made in Duluth, Minnesota. The label looks 1940s-1950s. It zips up the front and has a loose belt across the...

Much better.

That was me who sold you the plaid coat and dress set. It looks great in the window! The flaws don't show.

Here is the chart I use: Shoe Size Chart

I remeasured with a flexible tape instead of the stiff one I used first. Now it measures out to be a 7. Thanks, everybody.

Yes, Sara, it does say 7S, but the measurement indicates a 6, not a 7. So I am confused.

The footbed is 9 inches long, which translates to a size 6 according to a chart I have. The string of numbers seems to suggest a size 7. Is a vintage 7 the same as a modern 6? Here are some pics. Thanks much.

UNBELIEVABLY FABULOUS! I don't know what to advise about stretching, but those are STUNNING!
