Thrifted a 33 years old shirt
I have had capsule wardrobe for 3-4 years now. Recently came across a shirt in a thrift store and realised that it was made in 1992 feb. Just wanted to share my excitement of finding a vintage shirt that was custom made for someone in Chicago by Riddle-McIntyre. From what I can gather through google, they are no longer in business.
When the stitches are sooo tiny and close and every seam is well stitched and wonderfully made. For the first time I realised what people mean when they say ‘They don’t make them like this anymore’.
The most exciting part is that I don’t live in US. Its pretty amusing to think that a 33 year old shirt made it halfway across the globe to get a second life. I have grown up around a lot of custom tailored clothes so it gave me so much joy to see something that was custom stitched has lasted this long. I’m super excited to add this to my closet. 😁 I’m yet to add this into my digital wardrobe.
