Hi y'all! I've come across this 3 piece set in an estate sale. I'm trying to identify the year (or general vintage age) of the set and hopefully a more specific maker. The only label is "EF EUROFASHION", made in England, which I've come to understand is a collective of other brands, not an...

It was love at first sight for me and this lovely uber fine Hugo Boss silk tie - just £1 (discount request refused so I paid in full - cash!) in a charity shop rummage bin. I don't know much about anything, but I know even less about men's ties. But, something tells me it is 1980's vintage...

Just trying to clarify information regarding Artemis label and confirm date of navy blue, full slip. I did not find a label for Artemis without the Gossard here on VFG. I am supplying pic of my garments label. I found that Artemis and Gossard merged companies perhaps early 60's? VFG states...

Hello vintage community! I found this gorgeous dress recently at an estate sale in Manhattan. I am desperate to know roughly when it was made. Based on what I’ve found about Toni Owen, she was designing between the late 40’s and early 60’s, but I can’t seem to find when she designed for Lord...

Does anyone have knowledge or a link to a good resource for NY pattern Co history? I find very little on line, just a mention of 1932 as their origination year, but nothing to support that, and no other info. I just acquired three early NY patterns. All have the sewing instructions printed on...

I bought my husband a secondhand Burberry coat for Christmas. He's a history buff so I'd love to be able to tell him the decade it's from! It's camel coloured, no nova check, no care label that I can see, no Burberry name on the buttons, has an order number in the inner pocket, etc. I believe it...

Hey! This is my first time posting here- I have a Bagatelle Made in Montreal jacket with an ILGW tag. I've attached a ton of photos, and I think I know a few things about it... I think the ILGWU label was used from the late 60's to the early 80's, but I'm totally unsure about this jacket's...

I found this silk black dress at a vintage shop, and found the faded yellow Dior label in the skirts. I'm assuming it's 50s / 60s era (correct me if I'm wrong!). Skirt is a bit below the knee But does anyone know what this old tag at the collar is? There is a number on it: "1969.171 ser." I...

Hello all! First I'd like to say thank you to everyone here on VFG. I've only just signed up but I've been using it as an absolutely brilliant resource for a long time. I don't know where I'd be without this site! I've got this lovely little needlecord Laura Ashley dress, among my many LA...

I have a question about the age of this flannel petticoat, are there clues that would narrow it down? Also, what exactly is the style of embellishment called? It is flat brains, hand stitched down, similar to the way that rouleaux is applied. And lastly, it is an 18” waist, with a very wide...

Hello forum members! If anyone has information for me on this piece, I would greatly appreciate it. The manufacturer is a man named Ben J. GAM. I've had no luck researching this manufacturer/designer, other than his connection to Rita Gam and her connection to Grace Kelly in the 50s. So I...

I need help in determining the age of these pj's. The style of the top seems older - like 1930s-40s but the bottoms are shorts with an elastic waist. There is no evidence that they have been altered. That indicates to me that they are no later than 1950's. The shorts also have an odd inserted...

Wondering if anyone can give me an approximate age on these shoes?

Hi! This is my first post here. I recently thrifted this coat and I'm trying not find out if the label is genuine or not and if so, how old it is. Usually when I find this label is says "warranted to be a" above Pendleton, but this one doesn't have it. The coat seems like good quality, but I'd...

I sourced this vintage Levi’s jacket and am struggling narrowing down the date. It is an orange tabbed jacket with gold stitching and a white label-no leather patch. Can anyone give me any more information of when this was produced? Also any indication of what it would be worth?

Sorry, its me again. I've come across the following London Fog jacket (see photos) and wondered if anyone had an ideas about likely age? I've attached photos of the jacket itself, together with the internal label and tags. The jacket /copy seems 70s in style, but happy if anyone has any...

Hi, This forum has been such a great help to me, I'm very grateful. I have had these beautiful leather boots for some time, but have never worn them. I think these date from the 80s, but am open to correction. They are beautifully made. One thing I know for sure is that they are Italian made...

I just got this trench coat thrifted in South Africa on the weekend. It’s had quite a world journey in its lifetime. From the brand logo and name, I assumed it was from the States or UK and had no luck coming up with any brand affiliations. I then discovered tags in the left hand inner pocket-...

I’m very new to the vintage fashion scene and would love help from all you lovely people dating a recent find. Disclaimer! I’m an amateur when it comes to fabric so the description is from my very limited knowledge. At first, I bought this item not on the pretense that it was vintage but...

Hi all! I got a small hand full of cameos in an auction lot of costume jewelry. Hoping someone can help me date them. There are no makers marks on any of them. Is it odd that they don’t have an fastener on them? Sorry in advanced for the lack of close ups. My phone can’t focus on teeny things...

I got this dress recently and am trying to narrow down when it might have possibly been designed. 2nd pic dress is on the far right Pretty thick shoulder pads, though not the thickest 40s ones I've seen. Rayon. Belt loops for a belt. I think it might be a tall size as the belt loops hit a...

Hi all! Does anyone know much about Emporio Armani? I have a black dress with an Emporio Armani label, but the seam label is in Italian and has a date on it marked 1973. I thought Emporio Armani didn't start until the 80s. Would love to know what year people think it could be from? Thanks so...
