What an absolutely divine collection your grandmother had. I'm sure she would be so pleased to see you wearing them even just for the photos :) You look spectacular <3

@Circa Vintage @Pinkcoke @Leonardo da Vintage: could I get your buy in on this Aquascutum coat? It has no reference to the Queens Award, no size label or any other label. It's a heavy wool tweed, buttons are lightweight metal with metal shank and the cut is pretty much straight up and down...

Not sure but I'm trying to date a herringbone Aquascutum I own that has this label

Any advice on the latest addition Nicole?

It’s hard to know because of the lack of history around the Addis & Co labels but being a nice woven label it could very well be earlier. You could get other clues from the hem and seam allowance, skirt length, zipper construction, measurements, fabric weave and fibre (burn test)

Hi Melanie (Pinkcoke) :) Did you end up using markers to fix the colour variation on this dress? How did it turn out? Curious to know :)

The Addis & Co. label on your suit is different to the one on the outfit I originally posted about too (my tag is the reverse, white...

Thank you ladies, glad to know I'm on the right track. It has some beautiful tailoring with darts at the elbows and bust, and lines that create the most elegant silhouette. I will endeavor to find more information on Addis Co as this label was not a part of the VFG Label Resource and think this...

Figured it out! :)

Hi Anne! Thanks for the info. I have thoroughly checked the piece and there is no makers label but the fabric and construction lead me to believe that I have come across a very well made piece. The garment is very reminiscent of Jackie-O in my mind and from the construction and style I was...

Can anyone offer some advice on "The Addis Co - Syracuse NY" label? I have a gorgeous piece with this tag, very well made (ribbon and hand stitched hems, fully lined etc) but am having trouble dating it/identifying the label. Does anyone know anything about this company/maker? The only thing I...
