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 Floral Hat
From the seller:
Fancy floral decorated hat dating to the late teens, early 1920's. Made up in a navy straw with broad velvet hat band. Lined in black silk with pale peach chiffon on inner brim. In fair to good vintage as found condition with some fray and loss's to the floral's, small split to chiffon inner brim and a bit of age related dust. Measures approx. 6" high, 12" diameter from side to side and 11" front to back, with approx. 21-22" interior circumference.
From Me:
I think this is more late teens due to the overall shape of the hat.
