    Glad they were of interest, gents. Dirk, I agree, the construction is incredibly robust on this jacket.

    Matt, welcome. The coat looks very classic. Indeed it is hard to find coats with the right length nowadays, very short jackets and coats which are close to suit jacket length are in. The story about your co-workers is familiar -funny isn't it how that vintage style grows on people. Edwardian...

    Show off the sports coats.

    I've had some luck lately. 1950s American Harris Tweed: three roll two, patch pockets, single vent. Very balanced and proportionate cut with minimal shoulder padding. A bit tight on me, so it will soon be in the classifieds. About a 38/40. I had been looking for some grey jackets, as...

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Finally got round to buying an overcoat. I like to use army surplus outerwear that doesn't look too military to mix things up a bit. This is apparently a deadstock Belgian airforce coat from the 1980s. I plan to replace the golden buttons with leather football buttons, as a sort of...

    What did 1910's-20's hikers/climbers brought or wore?

    Try historical military reproduction companies like What Price Glory and Soldier of Fortune.

    What did 1910's-20's hikers/climbers brought or wore?

    Those Czech parkas are great, lining and collar are removable, and with the waist belt it looks quite fetching. It is also relatively water-resistant.

    Lovely! What a subtle check. Just re-read your post and noticed only the jacket has an overcheck. Strange!! By design or necessity I wonder?

    What are you wearing today??

    Great suit Patrick. I have developed a liking for shirts with a subtle pattern like that, totally versatile and not too 'wedding day' crisp. What's the colour of the pocket square?

    Nice, tie, it has that 'mysterious' palette that I associate with early 20th century accessories.

    What Does It Mean To Dress CASUAL In The 1910s And The 1920s And The 1930s And The 1940s?

    These are screenshots from movies, but I think they are fairly representative of reality in the 1930s-1940s: Casual Dressed up Casual Dressed up If you are an Italian hunk you can get away with this:

    Sorry, I know this is from centuries ago, I haven't been as active in this thread as I could have. No fabric label! I guess it is either polyester or a wool/polyester blend. Somehow I doubt it is 100% wool I am in Cyprus at the moment, and I really didn't expect to find wool ties here, but...

    Washing wool flannel

    I find that the drying phase is crucial, as wool tends to set in the position it is dried in. Dry it flat, not on a hanger, and use bits of cardboard to give the garment form as it dries. As others have said-no hanging wet wool.

    1940s Dunn&Co tweed jacket, patch pockets size 36-38

    Very rare to see a vintage British jacket with patch pockets. Also a rarely seen green windowpane with flecks: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Vintage-Dunn-Co-Harris-Tweed-Country-Jacket-36-38-/291612806865?hash=item43e57a4ed1:g:TKYAAOSwu-BWQO1s

    I need suit advice.

    As you are on a forum that caters to the vintage taste, I would get the trousers shortened with turnups/cuffs. Overall, the suit is not particularly flattering as it is. It can be made to look a lot better by taking in the waist, shortening the trousers as others have pointed out, but seeing as...
