This vintage vest was sold under the Auston, Ltd., New York label. It has a red wool front, copper colored back and striped lining. It features nicely shaped points, a darted, four pocket front, pointed pocket flaps. The red buttons are a nice touch. “British” marked buckle on the back.
Chest (pit to pit): 22″
This vintage men’s twin set was made in the 1940s by “Flosmore”. It’s an unusual material, with a knitted texture on one side and a fleece texture on the other. The original tag on an identical sweater I recently sold stated that it is made with a 100% wool pile and a 100% cotton back, treated to give it a fur like finish. The hang tag on this one is for the Dupont Zelan finish. The box is stamped that the set is a size Medium. (The stamp is above the XL printed on the box, which is some kind of stock indicator, not the size). It also comes with the original guarantee ticket. The set consists of a matching pullover sweatervest and five-button front cardigan. They are both in excellent condition and have never been worn. I would say the set would best fit someone in the size 38-40 range.

Vintage clothes in the early ’80s. Even the new pieces in the picture would be considered vintage now.
’30s vintage hat, ’20s vintage pince-nez, bowtie, ’70s jacket, vest, plaid shirt, jeans and hiking boots. What a look.

This is dated 1900. It was out of style by the time the Titanic sank. 112 years old and still kicking.
It’s not in the best condition, but is one of the older pieces I’ve had. All the pieces are marked with tailor tags, but all are on the undersides of linings or insides of pockets- hidden places. I love the cut of the hem of the trousers, a sweeping S shape to accommodate the wearer’s shoes, while maintaining a no-break silhouette.
This 1930s suit has a two button notch lapel jacket, four pocket vest and button fly trousers.
