If anyone comes across men's wear...overcoats, top coats, suits, and blazers with the Kosins Clothes labels, please let me know.

Particularly seeking late 50s through 60s and early 70s, the more outrageous/wild or luxurious the better with the Kosins Clothes label or "so and so for Kosins Clothes, etc.) However, everything considered 1930s on up.

If you have ever has already left your posession, photos also welcome, and any hangers or ancillary items with the shop name on them are wanted as well.

You are more likely to find something in the Windsor/Michigan/Ohio area but things DO travel around the world! maybe even L.A area or NYC

This is for an important project (important to me at any rate!!) juicy details later

Thanks!

it!

Thanks for asking, Sue. The movers and shakers of detroit were clothed by this merchent. Including some stage clothing for some (male) motown recording artists of the time frame I mention. The initials of one particular ensemble are F.T. :) I have been recently in contact with the surviving family (of the store) and am trying to locate/acquire clothing with this label for a future project I have been drawn to do. so if anyone has anything, i will not be reselling them, i will be collecting for awhile and would like to take it off your hands. There are items as late as the 80s and into the 90s a bit but it was past the heydey. I may try and get something or two from the later time to have the whole gamut

Here's the sharkskin i showed a little while ago. Interesting because the material is actually slubbed all over

B/W houndstooth check cashmere. I love the lining.
