Vintage Sears Fashion
Kestrin and Jonathan, a fashionable and multi-talented couple here on the L.A. scene, recently made a baby, as well as a feature-length film. I’m not sure in which order, as baby and film are both currently in post-production, but at some point in the process there was a baby shower/baby naming competition with brackets and everything, and it was on that evening that the couple gifted me with a book called Fashionable Clothing from the Sears Catalogs. Never before has friendship rang so harmoniously, as if they periscoped down into my true inner being and retrieved a polyester pants suit.
The aforementioned book served as our inspiration this week, as we scrubbed etsy and eBay clean of vintage fashions from the near-extinct Sears chain of department stores. Hell, we even found stuff for men too. Click on each image below to see the individual listing.

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, anyone with an Internet connection and an abundance of free time can visit the FBI’s website and read through their lengthy dossier on The Beatles. Did you know John Lennon and Yoko Ono were almost deported? With so much information available on the Internet these days, you would think more men would know where to find a nice pair of vintage Beatles boots. Nope.
