Good morning! I found this jacket in a thrift market, I loved the sparkling blue color and the red dots interior so I bought it. I guess this is vintage but I have no idea of the date. The boxy shape make me thinks of the '60 and the fact that it has no label and looks hand-made reinforces the...

I am looking for any insight on this jacket that anyone may be able to give! Some of the stitching is hand done. There is no label just the YSL buttons.

Hello all, recently picked up this Globe jacket. I wonder how old it is, the style seems faux military. What would be the value of it? Also wondering if anyone could point me to some resources to identify jackets in the future.

I can't seem to find any comparable pieces by Gantner & Mattern. Im guessing 1970s from the label and zipper, but not sure. Has anyone seen a similar piece from them? It looks like a lot of swim and sportswear.

Hello All, I recently purchased this blazer from Goodwill with tiered layer sleeves and glass beading. I am pretty certain it is an antique based on the shape, style, fabric, and beading, but I want to be more precise about dating it, which is where you all come in! If you are familiar with...

Hi all! I bought a beautiful Burberry blazer today from a local second hand store her in Oslo, Norway and I absolutely love it! I was looking through the blazers in the store and noticed it immediately. I asked my 7 year old daughter if she saw any blazers that would be good for me and she...

Hello all! So happy to find this forum and I'm excited to be part of this community!
