the jacket contrast
I got this jacket at American Rag in San Francisco when we lived around the corner from it. I remember shopping there before they had their own brand of clothing. I remember when it was still strictly vintage.
I bought this jacket when they were in mid-life crisis. The buttons are brilliant.
My two all-time favorite periods for fashion are the 30's and the 40's.
Without question.
It's reflective of everything I admire in design and construction.
Plus the underwear were so much improved on the previous decades and centuries but foreign to foundation garments today which aren't actually a foundation to anything but a few skin cells, being much too flimsy to support anything more substantial.
Few people in my current life know that one of my passions is the history of undergarments.
I do love girdles.
