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.

What to wear in the winter during the 1890's
From the seller:
Vintage 1890's dark green wool floor length coat with huge leg-of-mutton pleated sleeves and large cuffs. Double breasted with 6 large buttons. Princess seams, back has 6 panels with pleats at the waist. Large side pockets. The coat is lined on the top half in black silk. Large wide collar. There are a few very tiny barely noticeable moth holes and buttonhole thread is a bit frayed, overall wonderful condition. 34" bust, 30" waist, 55" from back neck to bottom hem.
From Me:
I really like the cuff detail on this one. A nice pretty green coat with sleeves of doom!
