I’ve been a long time collector but never been too serious about dating my items. Covid has me clearing out my closets and I wanted to post some stuff to see if it sells. I am thinking from some clues this could be a mid 70’s shirt, but then it just looks kind of 80s/mid 90s to me. It has short...

Hi all! Just one more item I need some assistance with for now! I have this large blue shirt from Hugo Boss. I picked it up at a local vintage sale. It's care label has been pretty much destroyed and the only word I can make out is silk(?) As you can see below in the pictures, the actual shirt...

Hi Guys! I've been trying to figure out the approximate date of this coat, and I am just not sure. The pleats on the sleeves and lines along the waist are interesting details. It is wool, and I think it's possible that the buttons were replaced at some point. (It is missing buttons from the...
