I've had a hard time finding a true vintage pair in my 34x32 size, so I'm wondering if any good reproductions are out there?

I know that expanding the shoulder width is pretty much a no go, but can the shoulders on a suit jacket be brought in about an inch?

I'm a size 42R which means ideally I need something 43-44" in the chest. Size 34 sleeve. I'm really looking for something with a windowpane pattern too, but I'd look at anything cool.

I'm walking this estate sale last night and I grabbed this jacket and took a quick picture before purchasing it for a good price. It's a 1960's tweed jacket made off 100 percent cashmere per the labels inside. Well it was a bit snug around the armholes, so I took some measurments. It's got a...

I like these ideas, keeps the rural spirit of the garment. The denim might make them less stuffy. What type of Oxford shirt? Crisp plain white or a pattern?

Picked up this 1950s Harris Tweed jacket yesterday, with what I thought was an interesting color and pattern. I'm not exactly sure what to call said pattern? Oddly it looks black and white up close and in photos, but when I put it on appears to be a medium brown. How do you guys wear these...

Would a dark navy work? What color do you think the gentlemen in the picture is wearing?

I absolutely love the bottle green sport shirt on Cathcart London, and just pulled the trigger on one recently. The attached photo of a WW2 soldier on leave inspired me, but I don't know what color pants to pair it with. Would a charcoal gray wool pant be a bad combination? Is brown a better...

I've seen the Wrangler Cowboy Cut 13WMZ advertised as high waisted at 11 1/8" , but I've seen some sites call that mid rise but the standards of yesteryear. In the 1940s and 1950s how high was the rise? What do you consider high rise?

I know that Spearpoint collars were the standard of 1940s/50s mens dress shirts, but I've always heard that they don't look good unbuttoned and worn casually. What type of dress shirts did work for a more casual unbuttoned look? Was the spread collar popular back then? Attached is a photo of...

I'm a big Sam Cooke fan, and I've always loved his style, what type of collar is he wearing here? Spearpoint? Where can I get modern dress shirts with this type of cut?

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Revival UK White shirt, is it worth? Can I wear it casually without a tie?

I've really fallen hard for the 1940s menswear look, and I'm in need of some trousers. I know I can do the vintage shop and go the eBay/Etsy route, which I am doing, but do any companies out there do quality replica style trousers? I'm not looking for anything too wide leg, or too dapper day...

Interested in size 34r or even 36r vintage mens odd trousers. Colors could be navy, brown, or light/charcoal gray.

I'm looking for the right color/pattern sports coat to pair with charcoal gray dress pants and a black dress shirt. I get that those colors don't have the greatest contrast with each other but I like the combination. Just need to right sports coat! Any help would be appreciated. Attached...
