Take some time to go through some of the pre internet catalogs and take some pictures and create a catalog of your own. Post 5 or ten unique items here or on other boards you post on to create a trail that collectors can follow in the future.
Thanks, Jonathan. Wouldn't it be incredible if someone would index and digitize the catalogs, what an amazing resource that would be! I got to try on that jacket, by the way, during the Christie's auction in 1991, although it seems to have have a lot more color to it back then.
