I had two sweaters in the late 90s and early 2000s which were textured and had two sewn on block numbers on the arms and larger ones on the chest. When I started to outgrow the sweaters and they got holes, I cut out the numbers on the arms and my mom sewed them onto a denim jacket. I no longer have either the sweaters or the jacket and haven't been able to find sweaters like that anymore so would like one again.
Since last year I have been into old style clothes from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The company Frontier Classics make high quality reproductions of shirts, vests, trousers, blouses etc... from the American old west 1870-1880 which you can sometimes see actors wearing in modern TV shows and movies about the American old west and also reenactors wear them. They used to make several shirts that they no longer make and I would have liked to have had a few of them. You can see them here on the Wayback Machine: web.archive.org/web/20151116053847/https://frontierclassics.biz/clothing/tag/mens-shirts/ (Not all images work and the ones that do are small). The ones I like they no longer make are: Frontier Classics PONDEROSA shirt, the Hombre Shirt (Model #CM5377) in Navy Stripe, Red Plaid, Tobacco stripe, Black/Khaki stripe, Wine/Khaki stripe, Brown print and Blue plaid. Everett Shirt Model #CM5506, Old West BANKER shirt in Blue/white stripe, Topeka Shirt in Purple, Red Plaid and Shiloh Shirt in blue stripe.
I am learning to sew and want to recreate old shirts and trousers from the mid to late 1800s, and I have patterns for 4 different mid 1800s shirts with one being similar in design as some of those from Frontier Classics, so if I am able to sew a period correct shirt, I might have a go at recreating some of these styles if I can find the right materials with the right patterns.
