This vintage cap was made in the 1930s or 1940s. It is made of a lightweight cotton tattersall material, with a ventilated mesh front panel. It has a brown leather sweatband. The liner is marked “Comfort Fit in the American Manner”. The sweatband is still nicely supple.

This vintage dinner jacket was made in the mid 1950s by Palm Beach. The jacket bears a variant of the label used 1949-1956 by Palm Beach after they added the location of their mill (Sanford) to the name of their company (Goodall Worsted) to form Goodall Sanford, Inc. Goodall Sanford closed their mills in 1955/1956, so the jacket can not date from any later than that. The dinner jacket features one button styling and a shawl collar. It has a 1949 union tag.
Chest (pit to pit): 21″
Shoulder to Shoulder: 17″
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 24″

This vintage hat was made in the 1950s. The milan straw body was made in Italy, and it was finished and sold by Resistol. It has porkpie styling, with a wide grosgrain ribbon, with a back bow. This style was popular for a period in the mid to late 1950s. Despite being marked a 7-1/4, the hat has shrunk and measures and fits as a 7-1/8.

This vintage milan straw hat was made in the 1960s by Style Park (New York), and was sold in Pennsylvania by John Wannamaker. It is a classic stingy summer style, with a striped hatband, and a teardrop crown. Inside is a ventilated leather sweatband, which is still in good shape, but is a bit dry, so don’t go flipping it inside out or anything like that. There is a tip liner with the Stylepark logo.
