1939 minor league uniform...needs accessories!

[blaze42]

I acquired a wool uniform and now want to add to the jersey and pants.
I guess that mean belt, cap, leggings, shoes, and glove and bat.
Where do I start? Advice is appreciated....

First you need to post a photo of the uni including any tags. This will help date the uniform so you can purchase other items from the same time frame. Most if not all of what you will need can be found on ebay. The belt will likely be a simple black leather belt from a resale shop unless your uni is very early and needs a sports belt.

What team is it? Cool uniform...too bad the patch is worn - in good condition that 1939 patch sells for $300+.

what team is it is my question!!!!!!!!!!
I do have a bunch of sweet examples of the patch btw...one of them is in mint condition and is on the back of a "milk jacket" ( info on milk jackets would be appreciated also...LOL)

here's the milk jacket...apparently autographed by a bunch of minor leaguers which I have yet to look up

with the great patch............ on the back

Now THAT is a unique piece. Who in the world put that patch on that jacket and decided to get autos...very cool. The patch is impressive and valuable.

Well you need wool stirup socks, a plane buckel black leather belt, and wool cap to compete the uni. The socks may be the toughest, but they are on ebay from time to time.

You can spend as much or as little as you like on gloves and bats, but here are some inexpensive options if you just want pieces that look right with your uni.

You also need a split finger glove from the era like this.

And an old wooden bat like this.
