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.

Men's Wonderful Velvet Waistcoat
From the seller:
I BELIEVE THIS TO BE MID 1800S, IS ALL HAND SEWN WITH GREAT DETAIL.TRIMMED IN A PIPING ALONG COLLAR, POCKETS AND WAIST, THERE IS A BIT ON THE WAIST COMING LOOSE. THE WAIST IS ALSO LEATHER BACKED. DOUBLE BREASTED, HAS 2 TINY BRASS BUTTONS WITH ANCHORS ON BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE ORIGINAL. SO NEEDS 4 PERIOD BUTTONS. INSIDE IS A POLISHED COTTON.ON EACH FRONT BOTTOM POCKET THE CENTRAL SEAM IS OPENED AND NEEDS RESEWN I HAVE PICTURED THAT. OTHERWISE GREAT CONDITION. MEASURE 36" CHEST AND 30" WAIST AND IS 21" LONG. GOOD EARLY PIECE.
From Me:
It looks to be about 1860's to me.
