The Jantzen company made more than vintage swimwear

Most people, and even I always associated Jantzen with vintage swimwear.

With the diving figure logo that always comes to mind first.

But they made many kinds of vintage knit sportswear clothing.

Here is a wool and mohair 1950s vintage mens cardigan sweater with a zipper front just added to Bette Be Good Vintage Clothing

Did a Vintage TV Show Inspire You? I Wanted to Be Like Rhoda.

In the early vintage 1970s TV show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I wanted to be Rhoda. The fun quirky character that was Mary’s neighbor.

Rhoda’s wardrobe was part modern 70s  fashion with vintage clothing mixed to together for a Bohemian style.

She also was a window dresser or display person, as it was called then, and an artist.

I remember one episode where she was wearing an antique 1920s silk Kimono style  robe with fringe. I have that almost identical robe in my personal collection. And I have worn it.

I finally got into the visual merchandising profession, so I did get to be like Rhoda.

Here are a few examples of vintage clothing that I feel Rhoda would have worn.

These she may have had in her apartment.

It appears to always make a comeback in vintage fashion.

Collecting Vintage Fashion Catalogs and Vintage 50s Shoe Styles

 

I collect old vintage fashion catalogs, especially from the retro vintage 1950s.

Montgomery Wards, Speigel and others.

I use these to date and identify my vintage clothing, shoes, handbags and retro finds.

Browsing through one of the vintage catalogs on a rainy day is like taking a trip back in time. I also love to use theses “Wish Books” as they were called.

Here are few pages of 1954 vintage shoes styles from a Speigel Spring and Summer book.

I have also included vintage shoes from my Bette be Good Vintage shop that resemble these styles.

Enjoy.

Darling Childrens Vintage Clothing. I Didn’t Forget the Little Ones.

---

Finding larger sized children’ s vintage clothing is always such a pleasure and not always easy.  Baby and small childrens vintage clothing seems to have been saved more often the larger sizes. Probably as the bigger sizes were used for hand me downs.

It brings back memories of my childhood or the old movies when I find the dear dresses, hats and shoes for boys and girls.

 Stop by Bette Be Good Vintage , my sister store and take a stroll through your childhood past.
