The nights are getting pretty cool, to say the least! So, I’ve pulled out my flannel robes and this one is a favorite – owned by a great-aunt in the 1940’s.
There’s nothing like snuggly cotton flannel on a cold evening. And, red is even better. Warms me up just to look at it.
Cuffed sleeves, patch pockets, tie belt – what makes it different? The look of the fabric and the construction details, for two. Nothing could be more classic, but this one is true vintage, too.
It just puts me back-in-the-day immediately because I know it has curled up by the fire on many a cold Autumn or Winter night . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Another rare find! This one was not a high-end item when it was made, but it is an iconic piece with mink-trimmed sleeves. I have a few of these garments with sleeves like this but don’t find them often.
Metallic thread on sheer black fabric, with “Autumn Haze” mink cuffs. Buttons up the back. Back in the day, companies that produced medium-priced clothing still made some “luxury” items that the average woman could afford, and they made them well.
What a pleasure to discover this one!
