Beautiful Early 1960s Loden Green Wool Vintage Suit By Helen Rose Occasionally, I consult with my fellow members at the Vintage Fashion Guild on a garment. Sometimes, to share a great find, but others to refine the date. With this suit, it was a case of both. We all agreed that it is a great design, and the date seems to fall in the 1962 - 65 range. The store label in question puts it to the earlier part of the 60s as well since Selman‘s changed their label in the mid decade. The fabric is a loden green wool suiting and the jacket has clean lines with a remarkable front design . The extra large fabric button closure uses an extended tab and a huge buttonhole. The straight skirt has a wide shaped and boned waistband that is visible at the jacket cutout. This suit is fully lined in green silk. Skirt has a center back nylon zipper. And it’s all beautifully made. I wrote up a bio on Helen Rose for the VFG She was a well respected and successful film costume designer who moved into retail fashion in 958 until her retirement in 1972. Here’s a link: Helen Rose on VFG Piece: Labels: Helen Rose and Selman’s Louisville Size: Bust: 44" , Shoulders: 17”, Sleeves: 20”, CB Neck to Hem: 22" Skirt: Waist: 30”, Hips: 42”, Waist to Hem: 25”, Hem Sweep: 44” Condition: Excellent, with no spots, stains or holes.

1970s Chester Weinberg Novelty Weave Blazer Chester Weinberg was only active with is own label a short time from 1966 to 1975, yet he left a mark. His work is always interesting. His fabric choices were distinctive. This is a simple blazer with a graceful fit and atypically narrow lapels for the time. The fabric is a textured weave. The juxtaposition of the heavy coarse grey fibers and the fine tan fibers gives this textile a great depth. The patch pockets are a nice touch. A complex cut would have been overkill with as textured a fabric as this. Fully lined in greige acetate.
