    Nice summer suit Frank. I think you should try that look with an unstructured 1930s tie and a slim knot, it would look splendid! Eddie, good jacket, It looks like late 1960s-early 70s? the shoulders look quite wide in a classic way, which works with your ensemble. Often you find very wide...

    Show off the sports coats.

    Ha, yes, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with drinking cocktails on a yacht (as long as it's not the royal yacht) I will be drinking cocktails by the beach in Cyprus soon, unfortunately any kind of jacket will be virtually out of the question. Thanks for the responses chaps. Btw Eddie, that...

    Show off the sports coats.

    After a long search, I finally found a summer jacket I like, on sale from Gant: Sort of dressy but casual at the same time with the patch pockets and the cotton cloth. (Yes, the sleeves need to be shortened) Only thing is, the white buttons make me think 'Lounging with a cocktail on the royal...

    Thanks for posting those photos! nice suit in the first shot. I haven't posted much here lately, so here is a collection of shots: The Testament of Dr Mabuse (Fritz Lang) Being that it is early 1930s, there are still some slimmer trousers to be seen. The main character in his poor...

    Show off the sports coats.

    This could have easily been too much, but the masterful use of soft shoulders tone it down just enough to make it striking without being garish.

    What are you wearing today??

    Nice outfits Eddie. I appreciate when someone can look casual in a three piece suit, of course the nap of the flannel helps, but there's no denying your carrying it off effortlessly. But I have to second Two Type's comment, I feel like fainting looking at your second picture! :) Get yourself...

    1940's? Blue Harris Tweed Sportcoat 38R-41R

    Reweavers charge around £60 per hole, and we are talking about 5+ holes. Being tweed, even stitching over a hole wouldn't be too visible, but there are just too many. I sent it back. By the way it was probably older than mid-1940s as the label did not have the '100% wool' line.

    The Linen Suit

    That's a very timeless looking suit. The lapel shape is quite striking and keeps the jacket on the stylish (rather than nondescript) side of classic. Good choice of buttons, they add just a touch of character to the suit which make it work in a more casual context. I'm glad your tailor avoided...

    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    I love the solemn wording in the advert 'This shirt is generally worn by the artisan class.'

    FS: Early 1930s German DB suit solid black flannel size 37

    Great suit. Very sinister looking with the two button db and the peak lapels. Come on Loungers, this is great value!

    Excellent belt back twin chest pocket jacket size 34

    Tiny size, but the photos are great as a reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Hunting-Coat-1940s-French-Vtg-Chore-Jacket-1940s-Vtg-Riding-Jacket-S-MINT-/331465283388?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2cded73c It is a work jacket, but it would make a great sports coat.

    I like the unpretentious wearability of British suits from that era.

    1940's? Blue Harris Tweed Sportcoat 38R-41R

    I received the jacket today. Very nice cut and fits well in the chest. I rather like the high button stance with the stumpy but wide lapels and strong but not wide shoulders. Something you don't see anymore, and rather unjustly so. Unfortunately it is rather too knackered to look presentable...
