TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S WWII AIR CORP UNIFORM JACKET W/DECORATIONS
TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S WWII AIR CORP UNIFORM JACKET W/DECORATIONS
This uniform jacket belonged to a family member who served as a Staff Sargeant in the Army Air Corps, World War II. I especially love the little Peace medallion on the lapel. Not sure if it would technically be illegal to wear this as a Halloween costume . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Hi” to my friend in Barcelona who loves these beautiful garments, too.

1930’S – 1940’S KNIT VEST; A SURPRISE FIND THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!
ANOTHER RARE FIND – MEN’S MID-CENTURY LEISURE CARDIGAN SWEATER IN WOOL AND SUEDE LEATHER
ANOTHER THRILLING FIND! 1950’S 1960’S MEN’S CARDIGAN SWEATER
ANOTHER THRILLING FIND! 1950’S 1960’S MEN’S CARDIGAN SWEATER
I’m always so happy to find one of these in almost perfect condition! So different from the others I’ve just shown. The front metal zip is unusual, rather than buttons, and the (probably) acrylic fiber is a plus over wool because of the ease of storage and care. I DO love old wool sweaters, however.
This example was made in Hong Kong (always pointing to quality construction and workmanship, at least in true vintage garments) and has the classic styling of patch pockets and striped trim. The zipper is as sturdy as they come.
A wonderful and infrequent discovery. My favorites!

1960’S CLASSIC MEN’S CARDIGAN FROM SCOTLAND
1960’S CLASSIC MEN’S CARDIGAN FROM SCOTLAND
Here’s the other suede-trimmed sweater I mentioned a few days ago. Traditional design and construction in this handsome, high-quality cardigan have let it last for 50+ years with very little sign of wear. Nice, soft virgin wool and buttery suede, plus knotted leather buttons made this a favorite, iconic style for decades.
I’m always so glad to find garments like this one in such wonderful condition. Big for me, but I know someone who might find it to be just the thing .. . . . . . . . . . . . .
