Shopping from the Past: 1940s



As part of my austerity kick I'm trying to save money by shopping from myself (retrieving items--vintage!--from my closet and reworking them into newly wearable goods)(chopping them down in length or pinching them in at the sides, monkeydoll style). I'm also conserving funds by placing mental mail orders to the archival clothing stores of yore (see Outdoor Store ad above). Below: excerpt from catalogue page of stylish boys "Extra Wear" jackets featuring wombatine collars and pockets sewn with strong thread.
