#I generally get these clothes from etsy sellers. basically | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Note

hello! i am a longtime huge admirer of your clothing/fashion sense, as well as a longtime backreader of your #victorian and #goth tags. i am really interested in what you've written about Victorian dress, and i am looking to get more into 19th and 20th century clothing for gender + diy craft reasons. i'm so sorry if you've answered similar questions before, but do you have any tips for where a newbie should start researching? either way, thank you thank you, your blog opens my mind wide and brings me much joy and reflection!

General research:

Spend some time searching the 'net, museum websites, and archive sites for fashion plates (such as archive.org—link leads to a date-restricted query for "fashion"—or the Smithsonian—link leads to fashion plates in their image collection). Take note of what you like, as well as which styles correspond to which decade. Karolina Żebrowska has a good rundown of English fashion over the decades.

The undergarments are what does the most work creating the necessary silhouette to make Victorian & Edwardian womenswear fit properly. If you've figured out a decade you want your outfit to draw on, doing a quick search for "[decade] undergarments" should bring up plenty of blog posts, which may or may not cite primary sources (such is the fickle nature of the historical blogosphere). Bustle pads and sleeve supports can be purchased or made; they're both pretty simple, and tutorials abound.

Purchasing clothing:

Reproduction made-to-measure clothing can be readily found on etsy, but can be in the several-hundred USD range. I've had some luck finding vintage reproduction clothing (like, a skirt someone made by hand in the 1980s to a 1900s walking skirt pattern), which tends to be much cheaper.

Men, women, and children wore stays and corsets. As far as I know, Orchard Corset has the cheapest OTR corsets that are good quality and safe to wear. If you get a corset in the style of a specific decade handmade or made to measure, make sure that the seller tells you what the boning material is, what construction the boning is (spiral steel is sturdiest and most flexible), how many bones there are, what the corset material is, &c.—otherwise it's an indication of an unserious maker. Follow general advice for wearing corsets at a waist reduction (lace up slowly, break it in, &c.).

Antique Menswear on youtube gives a lot of good, practical advice for wearing late 19th-century and early 20th-century men's clothing (including where to buy reproductions and how to treat them, how to modify modern shirts to 19th-century standards with basically no sewing skills, &c.).

Actual antique clothing can be found and purchased online or at estate sales—usually in very small sizes, but I've seen Edwardian skirts and petticoats in an XL (also a small size, but...). You can also just simply browse this kind of thing for inspiration and save photos of anything you think you'd like to recreate.

Even clothing that was not "meant" to be worn by re-enactors can be clearly historically influenced (e.g. the huge boom in Victorian- and Edwardian- style blouses in the 1980s), so keep an open mind when shopping for vintage clothing! A lot of 1970s dresses that look "hippy" on their own can look very Victorian with the right undergarments and an updo. A lot of 1980s men's trousers also approach the right silhouette for the 1910s-inspired three-piece suit I'm trying to put together. Witness also the recent trend for big puffed sleeves!

Making or modifying clothing:

Victorian and Edwardian manuals for garment drafting and sewing can be found online—go to archive.org and search for "sewing," "drafting," or "dressmaking," then use the filters on the left to chuse which year(s) you want to see results from. Most of these have patterns that are sort of vibes-based: The work-woman's guide is one manual that claims to have patterns laid out strictly according to a grid.

I don't sew garments, but if Victorian pattern-writing for sewing is anything like it is for knitting, that may not be super useful. People do sell updates and graded 'translations' of antique patterns (which tend to be written in only one size) on etsy and ebay—just make sure from the description that it's 'deciphered' and translated rather than a scan of the original pattern!

One of the easiest things that you can do to add some Victorian or Goth flair to an otherwise plain-looking garment is to add trim. You can knit, crochet, or tat your own trim from Victorian lace-making patterns; purchase antique trim from resale sites; or buy braided or lace trim very cheaply at any craft store. Trim doesn't just have to go around the hems and cuffs of a garment: lace "insertions" between two pieces of fabric, as well as raised geometric patterns over the surface of a garment, are common in 19th-century clothing.

[ID: first image shows a black overdress showing lace insertions between strips of fabric of equal width, creating a striped effect. second image is the back of a black blouse with trim in a geometric design centred around right angles and parallel lines. end ID]

Jewellery (women's and men's):

Actual antique jewellery (including men's jewellery and fastenings) is not as expensive as you might think. Even if you're not willing to spend a lot of time learning what to look for and scouring estate sales for people who don't know or care what they have, late Victorian mass-manufactured costume jewellery often goes for sub-$50 or even $30 prices at auction on ebay (USD, in the US—in my experience it is even more plentiful and cheaper in the UK).

Specifically, I've lucked out with lots ("lot" as in, a bunch of small things being sold together) of "vintage men's accessories" going for $20 or so that contained Victorian cufflinks (in low-karat gold, mother-of-pearl, and jet), collar studs (in low-karat gold and base metals), and shirt studs (in low-karat gold, with garnets and seed pearls, &c.). Searching for lots of accessories is generally a good idea since by and large people do not know what these things are... but if you're willing to spend a little more for something that has been identified and is more likely to still be with its set, use the specific search term for that item (e.g. "antique collar studs").

Answers to Questions About Old Jewelry (though aimed at estate sellers and, if memory serves, full of regrettable pæans to Queen Victoria) is a good reference text to dating antique jewellery. I also recommend Miller's Illustrated Guide to Jewelry Appraising. Both of these texts are available on libgen.

Feel free to ask me follow-up questions if you want more detail on any of these points. As you can see I am perfectly happy to blather away on this topic

Part 2 - When you have to cut to the bone

For when everything goes south and your budget gets cut to nothing; a continuation from this post where I wrote the first 3 of 6 steps of a financial self rescue plan.

The six steps are: Record. Cut. Save. Cook. Sell. Earn.

I've decided to write the Cook step later since it will take a bit of time to put together. So after the cut are the last two steps, Sell and Earn ...

Step Five - Sell

Clothes, accessories, toys, furniture, bikes, kitchen equipment, fitness equipment, tools ... we all have something at home we can get rid of and earn a little extra money.

Poshmark, Mercari - both are good for selling clothing and accessories.

Ebay - good for selling everything. I've sold clothes, books, and PC equipment like Bluetooth headsets on Ebay. Tip - to help you price your items search for the thing you want to sell, and click the "Advanced" link next to search and you can filter the list on sold items to get the history of recent purchases and compare price and condition to your item.

Craigslist - good for the big stuff that will be hard to ship that you can sell locally. I've sold a bookshelf, our TVs and and a DVD player, a bed frame, a bike. I even sold a car on Craigslist!

Etsy - generally sellers on Etsy are more like shopkeepers than sellers on Ebay. This may be a good place if you have a lot of a particular type of item, like a collection of vintage clothes. Etsy fees are a bit of a problem in my opinion compared with other selling platforms.

Amazon - sell your old books there. Competition is fierce and pricing is very competitive so it's not great. I've had better success selling books on Ebay.

Make sure you account for the website seller fees in your pricing and cover your shipping costs and that's some extra money in the bank.

Step Six - Earn

Here I'm focusing on jobs you can start doing with no additional start up costs.

Part time or extra work may help cover some of your expenses. And a lot of these jobs can be taken on short term and accommodate other jobs, or time consuming activities like job searching.

My former neighbor had a basic 22" push mower and a trimmer and used those to earn some extra cash mowing lawns. He didn't have a trailer or anything, he just loaded them into the boot of his car!

My 81 year old aunt back home in the UK, who traveled a lot to Italy as a young woman and who married an Italian still earns a part time income as an online Italian language coach.

Mrs. RRR works fashion retail and she works for two pet care agencies here in town. She specializes in cat sitting.

I pet sit for dogs - I have four occasional clients around my neighborhood. Two clients' dogs will stay with us, and for the other two I will go to them on multiple visits a day to take out and walk. My clients are direct, so I get cash and no agency take any fees out :)

You don't have to spend your money! Neither Mrs RRR or I will work with Rover.com because we're not going to pay out their background check fee. I'm sure Rover is an excellent service, but we were up shit creek and on a zero spend budget and that meant zero spend! We are lucky that we're in a big enough city that we had alternative agencies.

I'm a fairly fast typist so did some transcription for Rev.com. I found that exhausting, so gave it up, but for a short while it helped plug an income gap a few years ago.

Craigslist - there are quite a few good sections in here for part time and temporary work in here. For example, depending on where you are, there may be a good gig section under city > gigs > event gigs. I just found job listings for work at a local golf tournament in two weekend's time that I'm going to apply to.

Again there's no one big fix, instead it's a question of squeezing the juice as much as possible from every asset you have, sometimes that asset is a lawn mower you can use to earn a bit of extra cash, sometimes it's an old drill you can sell, or it might just some of your time and a bit of sweat.

RECENT NEWS, RESOURCES & STUDIES, September 2019

Welcome to my latest summary of recent news, resources & studies including search, analytics, content marketing, social media & ecommerce! This covers articles I came across in the past 5 weeks, although some may be older than that.

I am still working on scheduling enough time to post these every 10 days or so, but lately luck is just not on my side. Writing this elsewhere then cutting & pasting it here is creating some significant formatting issues, so if you find any errors or broken links, please let me know.

Are there types of news you would like to see here? Leave a comment below, email me through my website, or send me a message on Twitter.

TOP NEWS & ARTICLES

Etsy introduced Etsy Ads at the end of August; I covered it on my blog. Some people are seeing decent returns, but many are not. I started a forum thread here for continuing discussion.

A day later, Amazon announced it has waived their $40 a month shop fee for Handmade by Amazon shops. See the pinned post on their Facebook page.

A large study of click-through-rates (CTR) on Google reveals that the top link gets over 30% of the clicks, titles with questions get 14% more clicks than those without, and moving up one slot in the results leads to more clicks, unless you move from 10th to 9th. They cite Etsy’s study of titles & CTR (which showed that shorter titles get more clicks, something that this study also found).

Trend watch: a suggestion that Americans can avoid most of the tariff pain in the pocketbook by buying used clothing & other items. “Secondhand and vintage is no longer synonymous with a dusty pile of outdated sweaters in the corner of a church basement, or a yearly rummage sale. Online resale, including high-end designer items, is booming, thanks to start-ups like The RealReal, Depop, Poshmark, eBay, and Etsy. It’s possible to fill your entire closet this way”. Pre-owned & rented clothing also makes fans of sustainability happy.

Also, “grandmillennials” are a thing.

ETSY NEWS

Etsy US searches often now have a full first page of items that ship free or have the $35 free shipping guarantee, as of September 6 (although they were testing it earlier than that.) I was seeing the rare exception, beyond searches that have fewer than 48 items shipping free, but it wasn’t clear if these are tests or personalization. Then on September 21, we started seeing many items with shipping charges on the first page of even very large results, & most smaller results didn’t give much if any priority to free shipping at all. There has been no statement from Etsy, so your guess is as good as mine ...

In the meantime, they’ve begun promoting free shipping to buyers, which has led to some media coverage. Some note that the timing is good, since most US holiday purchases online in the past several years have included free shipping.

There is a new chapter in the Ultimate Guide To Etsy Search, involving attributes. The accompanying podcast with Etsy’s head taxonomist [transcript with links to the podcast] is quite interesting. She says that one of the reasons that some attributes haven’t shown up yet as search filters is that not enough sellers have applied them to listings. “If we have 100,000 items in the search results and a buyer uses a filter, and that filter causes the results to return just 20 items, that makes it seem broken. The buyer no longer trusts the results. If only 20% of sellers fill out an attribute, showing a filter based on that attribute to buyers isn’t going to be helpful because such a drastic reduction in results makes them lose confidence in those search results. We have to wait until a large number of sellers fill out that data to show it to buyers as a filter. When we do, sellers who have filled out that attribute show in those filtered search results. Sellers who haven’t, don’t.” Also, “[w]e know that shoppers who interact with these filters tend to buy more expensive items.” And, there aren’t separate jewellery attributes for “gold”, “gold-filled” & “gold-plated” because “[m]any jewelry buyers don’t have your experience and don’t know the huge difference between these things.”

The new commercials were launched earlier this month; you can check them all out here, and here is some media coverage. Some analysts think this is a good thing for the stock.

Vox published a review of Etsy’s latest free shipping push, in contrast with its history. [I am sure most of you have seen that, but if not, it is a good read!] “Silverman doesn’t like the words “handmade” or “craft” because they “don’t communicate anything to buyers about when to think of Etsy.” he says now. Nobody wakes up thinking, “Gosh, I need to buy something handmade today,” he tells me, which may be true but I rarely wake up thinking I need to buy anything at all, and more commonly wake up in horror because I’ve already bought way too much. “You need to furnish your apartment. You need to prepare for a party. You need to find a gift for a friend. You need a dress. Handmade is not the value proposition — unique, personalized, expresses your sense of identity, those are things that speak to buyers.” [emphasis added] Also, apparently Etsy founder Rob Kalin “didn’t know what seed funding was when he took it” 😮

The new tool for creating country-specific sales is finally out. You still can’t create the equivalent of the $35 free shipping guarantee for countries other than the US, however, which makes this pretty useless for people wanting to offer free shipping in the US and to their own country. The only way to come close is to set a 30 day free shipping sale to your own country, but it won’t show up in search (unless people filter for free shipping) or get the Canadian search boost for items that ship free, and you still need to renew it every 30 days. In short, Etsy is telling us to overcharge our customers in other countries with no way to offer them the same deals Americans are getting.

Sellers can now use Etsy Labels for USPS First Class letters & flats.

Holiday tips continue to roll out: here are some ideas for running holiday sales and promotions on Etsy.

Advanced content on machine learning: Etsy is employing its data on styles to serve up personalized recommendations, including the “Our Picks for You” section on the home page. The purchase and favouriting rates are part of what gets shown. They’ve discovered that some styles are more popular are different times of the year.

For those of you who think Etsy doesn’t spend enough on advertising, they are actually buying spots on tv shows now, including this Las Vegas morning show. [video]

SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES

Sad to report that Keywords Everywhere is becoming a paid tool starting October 1st (although it may take longer to roll out to your account). https://keywordseverywhere.com/news.html They need to do this because they were being scraped by bots, which was affecting user experience & costing them a lot of time and money. Fortunately, it is still going to be very cheap - 10,000 keywords for $1 USD, purchased ahead of time as credits. They say that the average user will spend less than $2 a month, & I suspect that the average Etsy user will spend less. Once your account moves to a paid one, you will no longer see the search volume, cost per click & competition numbers under search terms until you buy credits, although the "related keywords" & "people also search" sections will still show up on the right side of Google search. I usually do not recommend any paid tools, but I do think this will still be worth every penny, especially if you remember to turn it off when shopping instead of researching! Every comparable paid tool costs way more than this. And despite the rush of attention since their announcement, I still received a personal reply to my email within 24 hours.

You know how I always talk about nofollow links? They still exist, but Google has expanded their link attribution codes to include “sponsored” & "ugc" (user generated content), and all might be crawled at any point after March 1, 2020. Moz did a top level explanation, and here is Google’s (shorter) summary. But it may not really matter much to the average site.

Want to rank well on Google and other search engines? Create “complete content.”

A followup on last edition’s discussion of canonical URLs - Google gets the final say. [video]

Google is now releasing monthly videos of their search news; first one is here.

Some of you will remember Moz’s Whiteboard Friday series on learning SEO in one hour. They’ve now compiled all 6 videos in one place.

And if you want to learn the basics of link building quickly, Moz has a short version of that chapter from their Beginner’s Guide to SEO.

If you are afraid you are missing some SEO rules on your top pages, check out this complete checklist for on-page SEO.

There are tons of SEO tools for Wordpress; here are 15 of the best.

Many people will find your blog through search engines, so make sure you use keywords in your blog posts.

If you have a website, check out 16 things that can harm your search engine rankings [semi-advanced in part, some points are discussing coding]

Success on YouTube involves SEO, something I find many users forget.

Mostly advanced: reminder that as of September 1, you can’t use robots.txt to tell Google not to index pages or sites.

Advanced content for website developers: you need to make sure the site is ready for SEO work.

There are always more Google updates; this one is still rolling out, and was confirmed by Google, but very few details were given. Sistrix did the first comprehensive analysis, although it is still early, and health and media sites seem to be the most dramatically affected.

CONTENT MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA (includes blogging & emails)

Marketing emails need to be carefully designed for success. Everything from the layout to the “preheader” matters.

If you have content on one medium that is doing well for you, it’s time to “repurpose” it for different platforms.

Infographics are very popular in content marketing; here’s how to make one, with 15 free templates.

Some Instagram posts do better than others; here’s why. Among other study findings, “smaller profiles which use more hashtags actually do see better engagement rates per post.”

If you aren’t getting much interaction on Instagram, you could be “shadowbanned.” There are ways to avoid that happening, and ways to fix it when it does.

“Content factories” are a big part of Instagram traffic. Maybe Facebook should crack down on this?

Pinterest is combining image recognition visual search with Shoppable Pins.

Facebook is considering hiding the like counts on News Feed posts, as Instagram is testing in 7 countries right now. “The idea is to prevent users from destructively comparing themselves to others and possibly feeling inadequate if their posts don’t get as many Likes. It could also stop users from deleting posts they think aren’t getting enough Likes or not sharing in the first place.”

Video app TikTok can be confusing, so here is a step-by-step guide for beginners. And here’s a podcast [with text] on the basics.

Twitter chats are a great way to attract interest in your business.

ONLINE ADVERTISING (SEARCH ENGINES, SOCIAL MEDIA, & OTHERS)

Facebook is testing new shopping ads, but they are only available to small groups at the moment: checkout from the Facebook app, and turning Instagram shopping posts into ads. Here’s more on the latter.

Snapchat now has longer ads and different formats.

I see a lot of questions on what you can advertise on various platforms; here’s a good summary of items/topics prohibited on major sites.

Since so many sellers are interested in other types of advertising right now, here are a few primers, most of which I have posted here before: Setting up Google Shopping for your website Instagram Sponsored Posts How to beat Facebook’s ad algorithm Setting up Pinterest ads

STATS, DATA, OTHER TRACKING

Have Google Analytics set up on your website but don’t know how to use it? Here are some common features [text and video] you may want to take advantage of. Note that the part about setting it up doesn’t apply to most marketplaces and many website builders, which have a more simplified set up, as Etsy does.

The old Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools) is now almost entirely converted to the new version. Expect all of the old reports to be moved to the new version soon.

ECOMMERCE NEWS, IDEAS, TRENDS

There’s new evidence that Amazon has skewed its search algorithm to favour its own products & third-party products that make Amazon the most money. ”Executives from Amazon’s retail divisions have frequently pressured the engineers at A9 to surface their products higher in search results, people familiar with the discussions said.” In case that WSJ article goes back behind a paywall, here is some news coverage of it. “Instead of adding profitability into the algorithm itself, Amazon changed the algorithm to prioritize factors that correlate with profitability, the article said.” Amazon denies this, of course.

Despite the legal agreement in Germany, Amazon is still suspending accounts without 30 days notice.

Want to use cash to pay for online purchases? Amazon is now offering that option in the US.

eBay listings now default to 1-day handling; if you ship slower than that, make sure to remember to change the default on each new listing you make.

eBay managed payments (the equivalent of Etsy Payments) are now available in Germany.

A review of major shipping trends in ecommerce notes that “[t]he accelerated supply chain is putting small sellers at a crossroads regarding if they can afford to take a hit on margins” when discussing Etsy’s free shipping push.

BUSINESS & CONSUMER STUDIES, STATS & REPORTS; SOCIOLOGY & PSYCHOLOGY, CUSTOMER SERVICE

Over ⅓ of US adults have bought something on social media, over 50% of 18-34 year olds are in that group. Far fewer had used visual search or virtual reality.

More people are shopping online late at night; women are more likely to do it, but men spend more when they do. [I’ve noticed this trend on my site and Etsy shop for a few years now,compared to when I first started selling in 2008.]

The majority of shoppers worldwide who are online use videos to make some purchase decisions, as shopping lists, how-to research, and to check reviews.

Gen Z (the generation after millennials) is more concerned about their health than the the previous 2 generations, and sometimes avoid the stresses of social media by shopping in brick & mortar stores. “About two-thirds (67%) of Gen Z prefer products made with ingredients they can understand, and tend to buy products in health and wellness categories more frequently than other generations. On environmental issues, 65% said they prefer simple packaging and 58% said they want eco-friendly packaging. Half of the group seeks products that are locally sourced or made, and 57% are seeking products that are environmentally sustainable, but fewer are willing to pay a premium price for them.”

For the 2019 holiday season, “65% of holiday shoppers will use a mobile device to shop, and 65% will make an online purchase via mobile.”

How do different industries get their online traffic? Google sends sites 8 times more traffic than all social media sites combined, and Facebook drives nearly ⅔ of all visits from social media. Instagram is responsible for less than 1%, while Twitter tops 10%. The author notes that “faster-growing social networks like Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are designed from the ground up in a way that makes it difficult to drive traffic to external sites.”

MISCELLANEOUS (including humour)

Google is working on letting you search your Google Photos for text; it seems to be using AI to identify & store the text in your screenshots and other images. It’s interesting technology that will likely be used in many ways, including search engines, if it works well.

If you like convo snippets on Etsy, here’s a tool that will make them possible in many more places.

Need a photo editor that works on mobile? Here’s a list of 12, most of which are free or cost only $1 USD.

This one simple trick makes everything faster and easier.

Stuff that probably shouldn’t taste like pumpkin spice. [humour]

Today’s post about buying a tweed jacket is by Garmsman Shaun. You can follow him on Instagram as @these_rough_notes

Tweed jacket – How to buy vintage and secondhand

If you are reading this Blog regularly you will know about Tweed, its versatility, its longevity, its warmth, its ability to transcend fashion in the world of Menswear.

You’ll probably understand the fact it’s a good idea to have some, especially now the winter months are fast approaching. I’m not going to go over its History or the Makers Process, Nick covers that with aplomb elsewhere. A number of traditional men’s retailers still sell Tweed, or more specifically Harris Tweed Jackets. But they are expensive, which is completely understandable. The fabric is handmade, they are made to last a lifetime and a lot of effort and care has been put into their construction. Some modern Fashion brands such as Margaret Howell, Beams Plus and famously Ralph Lauren produce jackets in Tweed. You are looking at paying between £250 and £900 off the shelf.

But there is another way, and that’s second hand. It’s not for everyone, I understand that some people just don’t feel comfortable wearing someone else’s clothes. But bear with me, if you want a Tweed Jacket, in my opinion, looking at secondhand is the best option. If you choose wisely, with care and follow some simple advice you can buy one that will be with you for years, have all the benefits of Tweed, but without the cost.

Where?

Charity Shops do occasionally throw up a bargain, depending on your luck and location. But the two places where you have the greatest choice are eBay and Etsy. An eBay search alone throws up nearly 11,000 items under Mens Tweed Jackets, Etsy about 2,000. These vast numbers shouldn’t intimidate, they should encourage. There’s bound to be something out there that’s perfect, but you need to put in the work. eBay may have more absolute bargains, but there are many Vintage dealers on Etsy that have great stock.

Styles?

Tweed Jackets generally fall into two main categories, a Traditional, boxy style that tends to date from the 50s or 60s, or a slimmer two button style that will date from the 70s. The earlier style will tend to have smaller lapels and one rear vent. The later 70s style will usually have a larger lapel, a more pinched waist, and will sometimes have two vents at the back. As far as pockets go, the only variations would be a ticket pocket and that some 70s jackets will have patch pockets which are rarely seen on the sixties Jackets. It really depends on your preference.

Size?

One of the objections that people have about buying online is sizing. Often items are described merely as Large, Medium and Small. Even the slightly more helpful 40″, 42″ etc isn’t ideal when buying. Okay, you can use your local tailor but, because of the choice, it’s best to get it as right as you can before buying. All the bigger Vintage Clothing Suppliers will give accurate dimensions. The need to know is Pit To Pit size, Overall Length, and Sleeve Length. Because of the variations in sizing over the decades, if you can’t get these sizes from the seller, then don’t bother, just look elsewhere. As a basic rule, generally, a vintage size will be a bit bigger than modern sizes, however in my experience sleeve lengths are a common adjustment on Vintage Jackets, as people bought these items as a lifetime purchase you may find that they will have been adjusted at some point in their past. If you’re tall and lanky, you don’t want the jacket from a short and stout gent, even if your chest measures the same, there could be many inches difference in arm length. Labels for sizing are rare and will tend to have been removed or worn away. If in doubt, or if sizing isn’t listed, then ask, a decent seller, and most are, will do it for you.

Condition?

There are a surprising amount of nearly new or unused jackets out there. And one brand stands out in this respect. Dunn &Co. went to the receivers over 20 years ago now. They were if you don’t remember, a very traditional menswear shop that just couldn’t keep up with the times. However this meant that they had a lot of unused stock left over that was bought up, predominantly by Ciro Citterio that had plans to relaunch the brand, but then they too went bust. So all this stock has filtered its way through various sellers and now often pops up on eBay and Etsy, its excellent value, always UK-made and nearly always Harris Tweed. The main wear and tear points tend to be lining, buttons missing and Moth damage. All these things are fixable, but its whether you want to, there are plenty of jackets out there that won’t need any repairs or will have had repairs done already that are usually invisible. Bear in mind most of these jackets would have been the owners main after work wear and will have been worn a lot, but also taken care of. Smell, that musty odour that makes it seem as if it has been stored in a Horse Box, can be a problem. Again most of the larger or more experienced suppliers will have had had the item dry cleaned or aired and will say if there is a residual smell. Nick covers how to sort this elsewhere on the blog as you’ll probably know. A picture of the maker’s mark or Harris Tweed label can be a good indicator or condition.

Brands?

I’ve already mentioned Dunn &Co, price-wise £30 is about average for a decent quality one that’s had little use or is in great condition, 70s Style ones will be a bit cheaper. Another brand I would always look out for is London Institution Daks Simpson, They are beautifully made, use high-quality fabric and are available in a range of styles and fabric They can be more expensive, to the £50 -£100 price range but still represent excellent value. But really Tweed jackets will mainly have either no label bar the Harris Tweed Label or the label of the shop it has been sold through that can range from obscure German retailers to a local town emporium that has been dressing the great and the good as far as anyone can remember. The key thing is if it has the Harris Tweed Label, then you know at least the material will be long-lasting.

Fabric?

We all know that Harris Tweed is the daddy of them all, famous throughout the world for its origin and quality. And it would generally be my go-to fabric for a tweed jacket. I sort of know before buying that it’s going to be a fairly heavyweight, warm and slightly rough to the touch. But lighter weight materials, using Pure New Wool are also well worth a look. Tweed isn’t always the easiest fabric to photograph, because of the mix of colours and shades it can look completely different in sunlight than dull light. So if the seller hasn’t taken a close up picture of the cloth then ask for one. It’ll give you a far better idea of the makeup of the cloth. Bladen does a beautiful material called Supersax which is a very closely woven fine fabric that’s very warm and is the first choice of gentlemen farmers. There are lots of Tweed jackets listed that wouldn’t look out of place on a 1970s US Sports Broadcaster or News Anchor, unless you are going to a fancy dress party, perhaps best avoided. Buttons are almost universally those leather football types, some like them, I usually replace with a decent Horn Button as it I think it improves the overall look.

It is possible to discern the age of a Harris Tweed between before or after 1994. The Harris Tweed authority was established in 1994 and the text on the labels changed to reflect this. Apart from this there has been a huge number of labels in use over the years, seemingly without much control.

Summary

So, you’ve decided, seen the one that ticks all the boxes and you are sitting waiting for it to be delivered. You try it on, and it’s nearly right, because you’ve done your homework, but it’s not quite there, not quite perfect. But that’s fine, Do not panic. Think about any minor adjustments, and hopefully, it will just be minor if you’ve followed the sizing advice, then contact your local friendly tailor and tell them exactly what you want to be done. Then just enjoy it, it’ll be with you a long time, hopefully!

Walmart's online store isn't profitable. Now it's borrowing from Amazon's playbook Under the category on the site, you’ll see a number of options shipped and sold by Walmart itself. Then, there are others. You can get a Ford Mustang tee from a third-party seller named Wild Bobby, or one boasting Disney’s Stitch character from the seller Open and Clothing.

That’s because Walmart (WMT) has been rapidly expanding the number of third-party sellers on its site. Over the past year, it’s been adding to its network of merchants. It recently opened up its platform to sellers outside the United States for the first time and is trying to lure even more through incentives like zero commission fees for 30 days. Walmart’s marketplace has been around since 2009, but only in recent years did it become a key priority for the company as it battles Amazon (AMZN) online.

How I set up my online t-shirt store (advice, tips and tricks) | CharliMarieTV hey guys today I want to share some advice for setting up an online store in case you didn't know I have a little apparel company called Lana nut kits that I started when I was in university and I have actually made a whole video on the story of how I started that little business and on that video actually have had quite a few questions about how to set up an online store which storefront to choose things like that so I thought I would dedicate today's video to telling you all about how I set up my store online and giving you some tips and recommendations the hardest part about setting up an online store for me anyway was choosing what site to go with and what I found the best way to do this was was to write a checklist of all the things that I needed from an online storefront and then just keep searching keep googling until I found the one that suited me I'm sure you all heard of Etsy and that's definitely the most popular online store fronts but I wanted something that I could fully customize the look of so that I could tie it in with my existing website so that just wasn't for me I also didn't want to pay anything over and above the normal PayPal seller's fees because I wasn't selling that many t-shirts and I wanted to try spend as little on the setup as possible I also needed something that was easy to use obviously and I wanted to be able list as many items as I wanted for sale finding something that was that good but also free was really difficult but one day just through random googling I stumbled across a storefront called store indie store Envy suits me perfectly first of all because it's totally free to use a lot of other site options that I checked out did have free plans but it turned out with them that you could only really list like five items or so for sale which is an ideal if you're like me and wanting to put our collections maybe with t-shirts and a bunch of different colors and means and women's versions so that just wasn't going to work well store indie I can list as many items as I want and I can also organize them into collections which is perfect for me they also lutely have full access to the CSS and HTML of your store which was awesome because I could blend it in with my current website like I wanted to I wouldn't really recommend playing around with it though if you're not really into coding there is options to customize the colors and things like just in the standard theme so if coating is not your strong point do that instead once you pick the storefront option that you're going to go with and had a bit of a play around with it obviously the next step is to list items for sale and a tip for this is definitely to take clear good-looking photos of everything when I'm shopping if it's for clothes I really like to see what items look like on a person so that's what I've done for the photos on my store but you obviously have to decide what works best for you make sure you describe your items really well - and if there's tagging options on the storefront you have picked make sure you take them well a good percentage of the sales that I get actually come through the story Envy marketplace every item you list for sale on store Envy goes into their general marketplace so if someone just searches on storing via the site not your particular store they could find items in your store which relate to the terms of their search even though they weren't looking for your store in particular which is really cool and I wouldn't have gotten those sales if I hadn't tagged my items probably make sure your store has a good if AQ section also just so that customers can read a bit more about you and see you're trustworthy it's also a really good idea to clearly state how long shipping will take it's especially important for me because as you can probably tell by my accent if you didn't know I live in New Zealand so all of the items I ship come from here so they take much longer than average to get anywhere basically and a lot of my customers are from the US and they're used to shipping obviously being like one or two days so it's important that I stay there really clearly so that there's no nasty surprises so if you just upfront and honest about everything you shouldnt have any problems and that's pretty much it really I mean if you've got the merchandise already then getting set up with an online store isn't really that hard like I mentioned the hardest part is actually just choosing which storefront to use and I highly recommend store in view for that they're not paying me to make this video I just think they're absolutely awesome and I've had such a good experience with them so I'll leave a link to store and B down below so you can check it out and see if it might be right for your online store and if you're interested in checking out my store then I'll leave a link to that below as well if you found this video interesting or maybe helped you out somewhat then please give this video a thumbs up and if you've got any other questions and maybe I didn't answer during this video feel free to leave them down below in the comments I'll see you guys next time bye

Shrine Building With Helvetica!

Or, So You Want to Build a Shrine

From time to time, I see questions go by about how to build a shrine to honor the gods, and I thought it would make for a nice light piece to give my take on shrines.

First off, I want to start by saying that you don’t have to have a shrine in order to worship. I’m speaking from a Kemetic standpoint as usual, but this is probably going to apply in the majority of religions. Not everyone can afford a shrine, and as in any spiritual practice, the physical objects are not nearly as important as the acts of worship and prayer. So if you cannot afford to buy statues, or your living circumstances won’t allow for a shrine, that’s okay. You can make your heart a shrine, and still spend time with the Gods.

But if you do want a physical shrine, and your circumstances allow for it, here’s what I would recommend based on my own practice.

Super Basic Shrine

You will need:

1) an icon of the god of your choice

Yeah, that’s it. Find a good spot for them in your home, somewhere you can see them regularly. I find the Netjeru like their privacy, so you may want a quiet corner, or in your bedroom. You can present offerings of food and drink on regular dishes. As for finding your icon, ebay is going to be your best bet for finding statues. The Hachette figurines are decent, if you can find a seller who won’t charge an arm and a leg on shipping (seems to be mostly a US issue there, as they were originally released everywhere but here). There are also a variety of historically based statues, in a wide variety of sizes. The Summit Collection has some small black and gold statues of the more popular gods if you’re tight on space, and these are the ones that are the easiest to find. You can also check your local metaphysical shop for icons as well. For Netjeru statues, there are also two etsy shops I would recommend: Shadow of the Sphinx and ValueARTifacts. The former makes lovely statues and is a member of our community (haven’t ordered from them, personally, but would like to some day). The latter sells a wide variety of tiny porcelain figures, and usually has a good selection of Egyptian ones. These are tiny, like one inch tall, so they’re great if you’re really tight on space. I have ordered from her, and she is a fantastic seller–very quick, and good to work with. On the DIY front, you can even use gaming miniatures (got two links there for you–one goes to minis for an Egypt themed game, the other is to Reaper, who does a little bit of everything). My nicest Thoth statue is actually a gaming miniature.

It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to have a statue–any image will work. You can pull up a public domain pic if you want, or you can get prints, or even commission artwork. Within our own community here on tumblr, we have many talented artists; Noumenon offers prints here; @the-typhonian does fantastic custom work, and @zooophagous also does some lovely work. (Feel free to add anyone I missed in the comments.) If you don’t mind doing a little work, there’s the Egyptian Gods coloring book, too.

And of course, if you’re the artsy type, you can always make your own icons.

Basic Shrine

You will need:

1) an icon of the god of your choice

2) an offering dish/cup

Same as before, only now you have dedicated dishes for your offerings. I have not had any complaints about using dishwasher safe dishes for this purpose, so go crazy! You can often find single dishes well, anywhere that sells dishes. You’d also be surprised at what you can find at Dollar Tree, so this doesn’t have to break the bank. My dedicated offering plate is a colorful ceramic one I found at Walmart for a dollar, and my cup, well, I’ve got two cups–one is a fancy teacup from Teavana, and the other is one I actually made myself in art school.

Standard Shrine

You will need:

1) an icon of the god of your choice

2) an offering dish/cup

3) a candle (you can opt for an LED candle if need be, and Gods permitting)

4) an incense burner/holder and incense

Make sure you practice good fire safety habits, and don’t leave burning things unattended near flammables.

Fancy Shrine

You will need:

1) an icon of the god of your choice

2) an offering dish/cup

3) a candle (you can opt for an LED candle if need be, and Gods permitting)

4) an incense burner/holder and incense

5) an altar cloth

6) Decorative things, e.g. flowers, crystals, votive offerings

Once you’ve got your standard shrine, you’re probably going to want to start sprucing things up a little. I would recommend a linen or cotton cloth to put under everything if you can find it; avoid animal based fabrics like wool for purity reasons.

Super Fancy Shrine

1) an icon of the god of your choice

2) an offering dish/cup

3) a candle (you can opt for an LED candle if need be, and Gods permitting)

4) an incense burner/holder and incense

5) an altar cloth

6) Decorative things, e.g. flowers, crystals, votive offerings

7) a dedicated shelf, cabinet, or other piece of furniture used exclusively to house the shrine

8) a cover/curtain/or closing mechanism that will allow the gods total privacy

This is about as far as most of us will go, seeing as it can be cost prohibitive to set aside an entire room or outbuilding for your life size statue of Anpu. Even this option can still be done on a small scale if you’re tight on space (I keep mentioning space constraints because it’s an issue for me).

General Shrine Notes

You can locate your shrine almost anywhere you like, although I would avoid the bathroom or anywhere dirty. You want to be respectful–after all, this is a space you’re inviting the gods to visit in. I have a shrine on a windowsill, even! Just try to keep it clean. Also, consider pets if you have them. You don’t want Fluffy trying to eat your statues or votive offerings. If you decide to keep a plant in your shrine, make sure it’s nontoxic to your pets or completely out of reach (for example, the Nephthytis is toxic to cats).

It’s also worth noting that you can create a travel shrine with a box and small icons, as well. This can be especially useful for those who can’t openly display a shrine all the time. On that note, many shrine items are very common, and you can always set them on a shelf and claim you like the aesthetic (Gods permitting, of course).

Happy shrine building!
