Hi fellow Vinties. I have browsed here many times over the years , but just joined yesterday. My name is Joy Boswell and my business is LUVintage. I'm looking forward to hearing from some of you from time to time if I am looking for info on a garment and if I know anything about something of yours I'll chime in. Righ

t now I am hoping to get information on my Abercromie fringed jacket. It was made before Fitch joined the company in 1904. So farwhat I've found out is mostly related to the history of the company and I've just looked into the Southern New York Fish and game Ass'n and the Camp Fire Club of America. I have a lot of research ahead of me and I am hoping some of you might be able to help. Here are some photos.

Fab jacket!
THIS 1933 booklet seems to indicate it could have been made later than 1904...? I also found DTA booklets from as late as 1952.

Thank you Donna--these catalogs are interesting. I also saw that just his name was used on some things even after he left the company. Not sure why but I'm still looking into things so I may find out. I appreciate the link. Joy
