Vintage Images and Histories
-
Mods, I was unable to find a similar thread, though I seem to remember one. If this is redundant I invite you to fold it into any preexisting topical thread. I just wanted to post a couple of sites that host interesting vintage images.
First, the Form Follows Function Tumblr: http://formfollowsfunctionjournal.tumblr.com
This has awesome images of vintage workwear and militaria.Secondly, Old Magazine Articles: http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com
This has a wide range of topics. Everything from Native Americans to Hitler in old magazines. But they have cool stuff like this ad for Marines surplus service boots: http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/pdf/USMC Boots.pdf
Or this old image of WW1-era naval pea coats: http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/pdf/Peacoats 1913.pdfThirdly, the Vintage Work Wear blog: http://www.vintageworkwear.com
Fourth, the Selvage Yard blog: http://selvedgeyard.com
Fifth Rivet Head: http://rivet-head.blogspot.com
And finally, the commercial site History Preservation, a Buzz Rickson's retailer, has a lot of interesting historical info on the militaria they carry: http://historypreservation.com/hpassociates/index.html
