This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

Late Teens Era Black Jacket
From the seller:
This antique Edwardian Titanic era black silk soutache dolman sleeve walking suit jacket dates from 1912. It is made of a black silk fabric, with raised rope black soutache work trim detail accents. This wonderful walking suit jacket coat has an uneven hemline with back skirt drape, long full dolman style bat wing sleeves, a layered top, V front neckline and button toggle closures. It is fully lined in black silk, with a "Hungerford Sisters" store label sewn inside. The jacket measures 32 inches long, with 48 inch hips, waist, bust and a 18 inch back. It is in excellent wearable condition. This lovely loose fitting walking suit jacket would have been worn with a form fitting hobble skirt!
From Me:
I doubt this dates from the early part of the teens era. I'm thinking World War I on this.
