    SJC Winter Flannel Work Shirts

    You beat me to it, Rudie. These just need to be seen by vintage fanatics everywhere, there is nothing else like them on the market. The fabrics were woven from scratch, a perfect recreation of complex 1930s flannel cloth.

    Luxire trousers

    I want to come clean about my Luxire order. The only mistake on their part was reversing the direction of the pleats in reproducing the trousers I sent them. The rest was simply a combination of their copying a pair of trousers with a full seat, and their being too tight in the waist for me. At...

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    I contacted Popescu about it. He offered to send me a sample of the English version free, in exchange for a donation of my choice. Unfortunately, it never arrived. :( Is it on sale online?

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    Hm, independent of Western influence? I disagree. They are wearing the standard fashions of the 1930s, high waisted full trousers, wide peak lapels, pointed collars, with perhaps some German influences, and some exaggerated cuts which take the trends of the time to an extreme, which is typical...

    What are you wearing today??

    Looks like the Americans have returned to the FL! Michael A, you pull that corduroy suit off nicely - I can't help but get a Wes Anderson vibe from that look. 1mach1 that's the 'jeans and a blazer' look done very well. Looks effortless yet interesting and well put together. I might try it...

    Show off the sports coats.

    In fairness to the seller, the '44 ' in the title was referring to the chest measurement rather than size. this is from the listing: '' Estimated Size: 42 Chest Circumference: 44 Waist Circumference: 38 Shoulder Width (from shoulder seam to shoulder seam): 20.5 Sleeve Length (from shoulder...

    Show off the sports coats.

    the jacket from armpit to armpit was 22 inches according to the seller. 44 inches is the jacket measurement which isn't the same as the size:sport coats are generally designed with 2-4 inches of ease, making this one (by most standards) a 40-42. Hope it works out, anyway.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I recently received this 'semi-tux' from the US. According to the seller it was worn by a German man for his wedding circa the 1950s. The waistcoat has contrasting trims, but the jacket is uniformly made of the same cloth, with no contrasting satin panels, making it look less...

    Hot suit, Rabbit. Fastuni, fantastic sports coat, I like the clean cut combined with the loud fabric. It's also a welcome reminder in days of vintage droughts that the nicer 70s-90s jackets can work quite well combined in a 40s look. Another example is this jacket from a 1940s Greek movie...
