Origin Vintage Archive: Every Garment Has an Origin
A Japanese-language research archive tracing the origins, construction, dates, and purpose of old garments through surviving clothing and documentary sources.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the project around garment records, date and brand indexes, research notes, and a separate market section. Its first visible entry studies a Duxbak Norfolk Jacket, using details such as brown fabric, a vertical front opening, and large pockets to discuss early sportswear construction. The archive says its conclusions are revisable when additional evidence appears, while the field-notes index currently contains no public entries.
