He was known for his original use of fabrics and colors and his dresses were priced into the thousands even in the 1960s. His career was very short lived.

In the 1960s if you wanted to wear something with a dramatic flare then you chose the work of Ronald Amey. He was known for his original use of fabrics and colors and his dresses were priced into the thousands even in the 1960s. His career was very short-lived. From 1959-1969 he designed under the label Burke-Amey. Joseph Burke, his partner, took care of the business side of things. In 1970s he bought out Burke and renamed the company Ronald Amey where he continued to produce his dramatic clothing until the label shuttered in 1976. His clothing was of very high quality and he incorporated many couture level details into their construction. All of his pieces were sewn in-house at his New York atelier

One of his signatures was to combine bold colors, prints and fabrics in interesting, unusual ways and this dress is a splendid example of that. The colors are bold and the mix is dramatic. The bodice and sleeves are sheer orange printed silk chiffon that is layered over the same printed coral ribbon silk that you see used for the skirt. This gives the top a very couture and quirky feel. The neckline is cut wide across the collarbones and it is anchored by a wide band of blue silk satin that is top-stitched in gold thread. This curves around the neckline and then down the front on either side of the notched front. The panel continues past the seamed waist and runs down the center of the skirt where it ends with a large diamond of the same fabric in brown. More of the blue runs around the hem and then is used again for the cuffs on each sleeve. The combination of the orange, coral and blue is spectacular . The heavy dose of all those prints, colors and patterns should not work but it does. The perfect finish is the wide fabric belt made of the same blue as the banding and this wraps around the waist where you can cinch it in and leave it simple as I did or tie it in a far more elaborate way. The exterior is in excellent condition with a note about the lining to review below.

Fully lined in a bright peach silk throughout except for the sleeves. Entirely hand finished. It closes with a front zipper and there are zippers on each cuff. The zippers stick a bit when you open and close them. There is shattering of the silk around each arm on the interior. The exterior fabrics are sound and show no wear at all. The exterior of the dress appears to have been worn very little. The dress is even better in person.

The Perfect Tool - Life is Short So Just Buy It.
Size: 88mm x 15
So. Life is too short to struggle with little demons and other inconveniences. I change oil in all my cars, trucks, and SUVs. One of my cars is a V6 Hyundai and the filter cartridge is inside a housing that is sometimes more than a tad inconvenient to loosen and screw back in place. My regular filter removal tools including strap style as well as a three arm gripper type just did not perform very well. I saw this thing, ordered it, and man...it is perfect. The metal top allows a wrench ( spanner) or a socket wrench to be used. I have a fancy Snapon torque wrench which I can also use just to be fancy. In any case removing and re-securing the filter housing on the Hyundai V6 is now a breeze. The cap wrench itself is solid and very well constructed Five stars and count me in as impressed. Well done CTA Tools !!!

Good fit and easy filter removal
Size: 88.5mm x 16
Purchased this for my 2022 Volvo XC60 PHEV. Used up all my 'free' dealer oil changes and not ready to drop hundreds on a simple operation. Removal of the oil filter housing on this car would be nearly impossible without this tool due to its location. With it the process was simple. On a side note, the dealership 'pros' stripped every one of the plastic splash guard nuts. Obviously in a hurry with a power tool. They also did not change out the smaller o ring included with the filter. It's a pain to remove and mine was hardened and likely original. Anyway, placed this tool in drawer with the rest of my oil wrench collection.

Perfect fit on an AMSOIL Oil Filter EA15K51n
Size: 76mm x 14
This is a very well made oil filter wrench and while some are complaining about no exterior weld on the drive nut, if you look inside the weld is very plain to see and appears to be CNC welded so it's perfect and quite strong. I like the finish of the wrench, it's easy to wipe off and if there is oil or debris anywhere on it, you'll be able to spot it immediately and wipe the part off to insure a nice, clean installation.
