What I think is a 1964 Harvard blazer with 50 year rowing patch. Triple patch pocket and ben silver buttons. I looked up the owner and he did row in 1914 for Harvard.

late 1940s:

aloha-style camp shirt in a very small size, possibly for a woman or a kid (buttons on opposite side)

made by the tailoring dept of a SF gift shop, still in existence. this label would be post-wii, after the owner-operator family returned from internment:

"From May 1942 until May 1945 the Tatsuno's and thousands of other San Francisco Bay Area Japanese-Americans were forced to live behind barbed wire and armed guards at the Topaz War Relocation Authority Center (internment camp) in Topaz, Utah. During their "internment", Dave used his 8mm movie camera to take forbidden home movies of life inside the camp. His film, "Topaz 1945" has been used in numerous television documentaries and was inducted into the 1996 Library of Congress' film registry with 24 other movies selected from a field of 1,000 nominees. Other inductees included were "The Deer Hunter", "The Jazz Singer", "The Outlaw Josey Wales", and "M*A*S*H". It became only the second home movie ever selected, the first being the famous John F. Kennedy assassination film by Abraham Zapruder.

With the war and internment camps behind them, Nichi Bei Bussan re-opened its doors on Buchanan St. in San Francisco. Shojiro had decided to retire and let Dave take over. In 1947, Masateru "Tut" Tatsuno (Shojiro's younger son) had returned from service in the U.S. Army. Dave saw an opportunity and decided to open a second store in San Jose, CA. He would run the new store; "Tut" would run the San Francisco store. In 1948 the San Jose branch of the newly-renamed "N.B. Department Stores" opened its doors in Japantown in the "Valley of Heart's Delight", now known as "Silicon Valley".

the fabric is rayon, probably japanese, kabe crepe in an absolutely sensational print.

so... an interesting piece! a really really early example of a mainland tailor borrowing the form and spirit of the aloha shirt. i would put this fabric up against pretty much any golden era aloha. they simply don't make em like this any more.

Based on the RN, they can't be earlier than the 1960s

I posted this on the thrift thread. Found this Eagle Clothes suit at a Buffalo Exchange in Portland. Looks like the same model Rod Serling is wearing below.

How do Eagle Clothes suits quality measure up? I'm talking about their 1950s and 1960s heyday. Are we talking Hickey Freeman level or Botany 500? Or somewhere in between? It's half lined and seems fully canvassed. The fabric is really nice. Just curious about the brand

Great catch with the Eagle Clothes suit and Rod Serling, he wore Eagle on set of Twilight Zone! They were a great Brooklyn-made company, my vote is quality. Nice pick up!

Hey there,

Not a vintage expert here, maybe you can help me out.

Im looking for a Vintage T-Shirt (heavy, hard wearing quality) like the one Marlon Brando wore pictured below, in cream or white. It should also have similarly short sleeves.

Any recommendations where to get them?

Been trying to find this vintage Gucci bag, that I kick myself for not getting about a year ago. Anyone know more information / details on this so I can try to find another or something similar? Really love the multiple materials and colors.
