Talk:wardrobe

Please stop deleting the term oakley. I happen to be a craftsman who makes furniture. Oakley is the orginal english term for wardrobe. It has sort of fallen out because people started to refer to the contents inside as the item it self when in fact the name of the piece of furniture is an oakley

You will need to priovide evidence for that meaning. I can't see it in any of my dictionaries. SemperBlotto 18:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Its an old english term, what sort of proof can i give you? It hasnt been actively used in the mainstream for a few hundred years.

You need to tell us where you obtained the evidence. You must have read it somewhere - give us the reference so we can check it. SemperBlotto 21:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Sears & robuck catalog from 1908 that i have directly referances it. I could scan the page and show you. Granted i dont know if i ever seen it in a dictionary. My grandfather passed the craft on to me and we've always sold them under the name of oakleys, but thats not the brand name. We may be getting interviewed for an article in our local paper about oakleys in the near future also. Dictionary wise i would have to look around but i do know its an old english term that just hasnt been used in many years. Its part of our family tradition, i have more items that referance it but they are mostly craft catalogs.
