When I found this safari (or military uniform?) shirt initially I thought it is from the 70s. However this style was also popular in the 1940s. So how to tell if it’s 70s or earlier? It lacks any tags but is very well made and in a great condition. I believe the fabric is cotton or other natural...

Hello I have a Marimekko cotton blouse, button up, with small pleats at the front. Neither Maripedia nor the online Marimekko design museum, nor a reverse image search has given me the name of the print. So I have 2 questions: 1. Any idea what decade this is from? 2. Any idea of the print...

I haven't seen this Escada label before and I was wondering if it was familiar to anyone/if anyone knew what decade it was from? It's very similar to the Escada Elements label... but the shirt feels slightly more modern. I attached images of the labels and the shirt itself. Thanks in advance!!

Hey people! Just wondering if anyone could help me with how I would go about finding more info regarding when this item could have been made/released? It has a small phone pocket inside the jacket so I feel like it has to be late 90s/early 00s? Any ideas on how I could find out if it’s 90s or...

Hi there--I found this t-shirt with a silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock on the front and the text "The 39 Steps" (Hitchcock film, 1935) on the back. The brand is "Hanes." Vintage t-shirts are outside of my area of expertise, and I am wondering if someone who is familiar with Hanes over the years...

Sold to me as vintage on eBay, but you know what some sellers are like on there! Made in Tunisia, please see photos - thank you so much in advance for any help! If not vintage, what era do you think it’s inspired by? *EDIT, solved, thank you!*

Hello! Here’s the second embroidered blouse that I’ve picked up recently, this is the one that’s probably the least vintage? This one is collared, with smocking on the shoulders and waist. The cap sleeves seem a bit unusual for a peasant blouse. It has small French seams and a rolled hem. The...

I'd never normally buy an expensive brand but I found it extremely cheap at a charity shop and I'm just interested if its authentic! If not, I won't be surprised as I got it for £8 and I still love the shirt, but it would make my day. I've not been able to find anything similar to it online or...

This piece has me stumped. It is a silk velvet fabric identical to a silk velvet 1930's opera coat I own but I'm a little unsure about this piece being 1930's itself. It has a loose fit with no closure and a shirring elasticated gathered waistband as pictured. Also, it has serged / overlocked...

The labels I find for this shirt with the closest match and same rn number all have "Designers Collection" on the label. As you can see, this label "Made in Hawaii". Is there another collection from this time period with same rn number? What is the reason for the different label?

Hi Everyone! I bought this lovely top which was marked as 1940s. However some elements make me think it is not and some that it is ! So confused It has both back and side zipper. Zipper is Opti but it does not look metal to me. It is hand made. Sewing is left frayed. No shoulder pads (at least...

Hi, I had always assumed this garment to be 60s, however my mother (who grew up in the 50s/60s) thinks it may be late 50s. The fabric is a stretch synthetic knit. The garment is entirely machine made and has no labels (or signs of having had a label cut out.) The garment (I say garment...

Hey everyone. This is my first time in the forum and I’m relatively new to the vintage clothing world. However, i found this piece yesterday and for the LIFE of me, i can’t figure out what it is. It says “for never ever enter sandman” on the front, and the back under the mesh appears to have...

I purchased this Levi's denim button up off eBay a few days ago. I was hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of how old this is? The care tags are completely faded. Because of the small e and trademark I'm guessing 80's or 90's. Thanks!

Hi all! Came across this Marimekko all-cotton blouse at a thrift store and have not been able to accurately date it. In the pictures attached, you can see it's not a typical print, and the geometric shapes, colors, and 'puffy' sleeves lead me to believe 80s? Maybe 90s? There's only one tag...
