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.

Antique Red Leather Embroidered Shoes
From the seller:
Beautiful slipper type shoes that appear to be hand made with some machine stitching on the sides. Construction is all leather, inside and out and it is impossible to determine the right from the left. The pair are long and narrow, length of sole is 9.5" from toe to heel. Top stitching is silver thread, long darkened with age. Other than a bit of scuffing, condition is remarkably good.
From Me:
My *guess* on these is 1890's but I'm really not sure.
