    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    Agreed. I like how they give the wearer so many options. I like the waistcoat as well, the double breasted cut sans lapels. I feel like this one could have benefited from a two button jacket, or a lower top button to showcase the waistcoat a little more. Still, mere nitpicking from me, it's a...

    1940s-1950s Harris tweed jacket with ticket pocket size 38/39

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291563594896?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Inaccurate dating in the title, the seller says the armpit to armpit measurement is 21 inches. Lovely jacket, but be careful with this seller, they once sold me a jacket with about 7 big holes...

    The Cap Faction

    Love your latest cap Keith, and the bow tie is beautiful too. Nice and slippery, with no chunky lining! Eddie, love the pocket idea. Btw according to my research, the existing peak shape isn't dissimilar to the 1940s British cap: Small peak that lines up with the crown. From Baron Kurtz's...

    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    Great photo. Surprising how timeless some of the garments are, even if it is 100+ years ago.

    Spear point collar shirts

    Agreed, lovely fabric. I have been looking for a nice colourful but casual and textured shirt. Are the collars and cuffs finally unfused this time? I take it this shirt has the baggy 1930s fit? I never found an original in my size. Could you please post a fit picture?

    vintage cap experts: opinions sought! Like the caps, Daniel, especially the linen one. Nice contrast with the leather visor. Chaps, I would like to humbly ask for your creative input on a project I have lined up. Sterkowski have generously offered to make me a custom cap. I don't want to...

    Spear point collar shirts

    Definitely, but especially so with a suit that is textured/heavy itself.

    When did the penny drop?

    For the realistic, I suspect the moment war was declared on the US, with the channel front still unresolved while the Soviet Union was being invaded. For the more optimistic, probably around 1943: Stalingrad, Italy changing sides.

    30s/40s industrial style on the cheap

    I have been doing some searching, and I have to say that Americans have access to some really nice workwear brands. Classic cuts that don't look out of place as casual wear, and being made for work are most likely of better quality. One US workwear item that I have taken a liking to is the...
