My sweet Irish grandmother, Teresa, never dared to go inside because she believed Gladdings was for rich people. For her, it was the Outlet Company and Sheperds all the way! Sad. I remember tagging along with mom shopping when she always exclaimed..."Charge and Send". Those were the days.
I live in Ozone Park, NY. I went into a 99 cents store by me yesterday, and was going through clothing that is sold in there for real cheap, $3.99. I think the owner had a cleaners or a few cleaners because they are always bringing fresh cleaned clothing in to sell. As I was going through the items, I came across a Vintage Womens Jacket from Gladdings. Beautiful Jacket, I knew it had to be from the 1960's Made so well, black with a beautiful Collar, ( I think it may be rabbit ) There's no Tags inside , except for the Gladdings Label, so I don't know the material. I was hoping I could find it here. No luck. I wish I knew where to look for this jacket.
My sister (Joyce Flannagin) worked at the Wayland Square store in the gift wrapping dept. My friends and I would visit her there often
