we bought theses garment bags that are perfect for rhps costuming and i need some "vintage" help with them. i have searched them up and down trying to find a maker and to no luck. there are two different types so i am assuming two different makers. both kinds are non-folding brightly colored thick vinyl types.
one type zips down the side while the other zips down the middle. one type has the shoe pouches on the inside while the other has outside zipper pockets.
i managed to find four of these within a two week period for a total of less than $10. now i cant even find information about them. the color i found were red blue green and brown. i am guessing sixties or seventies by style and materials but really cant say since i cant find marks. these things are great and i need to find more but i need to know what i am looking for. so any help is appreciated.
i am also trying to figure out what they style is on the amelia earhart bag i have is. it is a rigid cloth type that zip across the top with ends that fold down like a milk carton. may have been sold as a saddle bag but that just really doesnt seem right to me. and this is one of those near unsearchable topics. too many bunk results due to disappearance.
also while trying to figure this out i came across my samsonite train case on ebay. this is one i have been toting around for years and years for storing toiletries. odd how well the thing works for doing just that. i picked this up at a yard sale or thrift store c1989. i always new it was missing the key. most of my samsonites lost the keys before i ever got a chance to. now i find out that this whole time i have been missing the tray and mirror as well. bastids. i still love it and if i really want tray and mirror i swap out one of my kaboodles. why bie tubs when samsonite can be thrift srored cheaper and lasts a hundred times longer. and will have resale value when i choose to ditch them. or they get ditched when i snuff it.
we also need to hunt some hat cases down but that is going to be a pain and a half. because the columbia hat is tall and the janet hat is so freakin huge that it hurts. i want to get ones that will truely protect so the cardboard type are so out. the trick is too keep them from getting damaged until i get the cases.
oh and i need to get another skatebox or two for rubber stamps and films. i just dont want to get one with the skates in it.

get back its way early
for a step back here is part of the all interview from as is 25. ill get to the rest of it some day but i would rather do it from the originals. sorry about the screwy scan but i am not pulling the staples out of this mess. picture links to printable size. and since some of you are still around here i would like to take a moment to thank all of you that were so much help with the zine. sometimes i say i in reference to that but it was all of us working on it in one way or another. this many years later you people still kick ass. yeah even that one guy. i really cant express how much it means to me that so many of you are still in my life to one degree or another.
