Hello, I was given this Pierre Balmain jacket by a relative a few years ago, and I have yet to find any information on it. Around what year was this jacket made? What is the story behind it, if any? Was this one of the jackets designed by Pierre Balmain for the air force? Also, what would...

Hi all you Vintage lovers, I have a question to all of you who knows Christian Lacroix. I have found a beautiful Christian Lacroix jacket, but I am not sure where this collection is from? I am pretty sure it is not a fake. But I have never heard about this "15 Christian Lacroix" as mentioned...

My mother in law found a beautiful pendleton 49er jacket, but when she brought it home it was too large. Now, she is looking in to selling it, but needs more information about the specific year it was made, whether or not its even worth anything, and if it is worth something, what is the going...

According to the LR this is 20's? What do you call arms like that? What kind of style is it? Is it Victorian-ish? Thanks so much for your help!!!

Thank you for your help in narrowing down the date for this Traina-Norell jacket. VFG has a similar label for 1950s, but I read that Norell teamed up with Traina as early as the 1940s. I don't think this jacket would be considered a bolero style, but not sure. The small collar and full cut...

The label on this Lilli Ann jacket is a match to the Label Resource "Lilli Ann late 1940s." I will list as late 1940s unless there's a detail I'm missing that would suggest dating the jacket earlier or later. Thanks for taking a look and sharing your opinions. -Alice

Hello! Can anyone help me date this Halston? It's black velvet with no closure. I've seen this label on 70's pieces but I personally have little knowledge about Halston. Thanks! Nicola

Hi all, I bought this Norman Norell coat today, a great resale shop find, my first Norell piece !! I was wondering if this coat probably went with a skirt suit ? and how the satin tie belt supposed to sit. The blue is a wool gaberdine ? and the cream part is silk satin. I'm thinking this is...

I usually stay away from fur, but I couldn't pass this up; GALANOS jacket ( not bulky at all), Persian Lamb or broadtail fur?? tia!

Help! I checked the label resource and this label is not on there. I am puzzled on the date, I *think* 60's due to the lapel and the buttons. I cannot find much "for sale" on the designer of Jean Patou, any help would be appreciated. All I have is the single breasted jacket, no skirt. :(

I'm sure its a mohair blend, makes sense....label is the pre '47 one, no Paris on it. Lined in silk crepe, wool trim lapel & french cuffs. What I cant describe in a way that sounds attractive is that "shaggy" look. Any great descriptors for it, does it have a name? Thanks! Ang
