I recently started upcycling denim jackets, pants and skirts. I love the creative process and the combination of different materials. I previously made a ton of necklaces with gemstones and now I use them also to jazz up the clothes.

Inherited a box of vintage lace trims and pieces from my grandmother. No information on what decade these could be from but maybe 1950s? I also don’t know how to identify and date lace

These are cool but I don’t know what they are supposed to be for, they can’t lay flat in a circle and seem too small to fit over someone’s head and are not stretchy at all.

Does anyone know what they are for?

Hey everyone, I had to share this with people who would actually appreciate it. I recently came across an original, authentic 1982 Grease 2 cast and crew varsity jacket, it has the classic chenille "R" patch for Rydell High, and the back has the full embroidered Grease 2 logo. What really seals it for me is the inner tag—it’s an original green-print Adsco of California (Los Angeles) tag, which confirms it’s a genuine industry piece from the movie’s production era back in '82, not a modern remake or a cheap costume reproduction. The movie might be a total camp cult classic compared to the original, but the memorabilia from it is incredibly tough to find since so little of it was made for the crew. I'm putting it up on a 10-day auction starting tonight because I want it to land in a real collector's hands, but I just wanted to drop the photos here first for the vintage and film history heads. Let me know if you want the link to check it out or follow the auction, but mostly just wanted to share the photos of a crazy piece of 80s cinema history!

Side note: I don’t use reddit much but am a highly trusted seller across multiple platforms

I am very much a layman to the vintage clothing world, and this sweater was just gifted by my aunt in a large bag of clothing. From what I can find online, it looks like this could be from the 90s? Broad guess there, I apologize!

Does anyone know what purpose these buttons around the inner collar serve? There are no other buttons on the sweater for these to be sewn in replacements for, and they are evenly spread around the front and back of the inner collar. Not visible when the sweater is worn.

Thrifted this Grateful Dead hoodie looks to be vintage (90s) based on the tag and thickness of the hoodie I just can’t find anything online about it. The only similar thing I could find was some letterman jackets with the same embroidery. It doesn’t have any words or anything. Could it be someone’s homemade merch? Or official? Thanks

Not sure if it’s men’s or women’s. Bought for $75 but am seeing the prices online pretty steep! Unfortunately the tag has been cutoff. I believe from the earlier 2000s

I’m so in love with this dress but I can’t decide if it’s just me :/ I believe this is from 80s but I’m not sure.

Not sure if it’s an actual dress, but it’s from the late 70s/early 80s from the Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique line! Trying to figure out what it would be called; any help is greatly appreciated!

This jacket makes me wish I liked gambling enough to make it my personal style!

I'm a big fan of secondhand shopping to find products for low cost. I always found it frustrating that there's no single place to easily find nearby charity shops, thrift stores, car boot sales, antique fairs, table top sales, or vintage markets. Google Maps misses loads of them.

So I decided to build an app to solve that which would be really useful while travelling. You can even share your thrift haul.

It's called Ganddee (free on iOS & Android).

I’d love for you to try it out and hear feedback.

I thrifted this jacket in 2020 and I can’t find anything on it. Can anyone help me?

I’ve tried reverse image searching it and similar ones come up but not this one.

I had assumed it was a Levi’s Gap collab but I’m not sure and I don’t even know if it’s real

I shaved my eyebrows for this fit. I'm guessing around 1926ish? It is too large for me but I pinned it to fit my hips.

Can anyone help identify where this shirt came from, also estimate val?

Looking for help with an ID on the type of fur. I’m told production was pre-1950s? Unsure how true or verifiable that is.

I’ve recently found this jacket in my wardrobe and was given to me about 10 years ago from a family member. I’ve google lensed this jacket to see if it was rare/ worth money and it’s story.

I’ve found one listing on Ebay for about £500, I’ve seen and article on someone recreating the jacket and found a website where someones posted a bit on it’s history and how “80's heartthrob motorcycle rider Eddie Kidd modelled the jacket and according to Fiona McKelvie founder of 'McBurney and Black' worked for Liberty in the 1980's.She tells me that once the Eddie Kidd advert came out the ‘phones went mad and we almost ran out of the lanthe fabric to meet the demand' “

Does anyone have any more info on this? Know whether it’s genuine and worth something? I don’t want to sell it, but want to know if I’ve got something valuable that I should look after.
Thank you.
