TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S SPRING & SUMMER STILETTO PUMPS IN NEUTRAL BEIGES AND WHITE

TRUE VINTAGE 1960'S SPRING & SUMMER STILETTO PUMPS IN NEUTRAL BEIGES AND WHITE

Two-tone beige pumps can be worn virtually any time of year, with almost anything. Notice the cut-out and applique’ detail – and, of course, with genuine leather uppers.

You’ll probably want to wait until June to start wearing your white pumps with pretty summer frocks or suits. These are in leather, also, by a famous maker of true vintage footwear, Red Cross Shoes.

Although very classic and virtually timeless, shoes of this basic shape and style were quite popular in the early 1960’s – think Jacqueline Kennedy during her White House years.

I love the details on these. We’ll be discussing more details on clothing and accessories made before 1970. They were almost always done very carefully and artistically – more so than in later years. Just another example of the quality and craftsmanship found in true vintage apparel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . more reasons to adore it!

TRUE VINTAGE GREEN & WHITE WOOL & LEATHER VARSITY LETTERMAN’S JACKET FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Here’s a traditional letter jacket in the perfect colors for this weekend’s activities, of almost any sort.    In the past, a letter jacket could almost replace a suit coat (for a student – not his dad).  They seemed to have the status that military uniform jackets sometimes do.

Picture this with a shirt and tie, a V or crew-neck sweater at the Irish pub tonight –

This one has had it’s patches removed and looks like it never had many, it’s in such good shape. Although it’s big for me, how could I not buy it when it turned up?  It would be fun to know its history, which might be possible to put together from the colors and the location where it was found.  Maybe I’ll do that detective work someday.  Mysteries are always fun, and you just never know . . . . . . . . . . ..
