    Folding double cuff shirts for storage

    I've always wondered if there is a specific answer for that. Basically, when you iron a shirt with double cuffs you end with the problem of dealing with a pair of cuffs that need to stay round as possible and, when folding, you don't want to make them develop two creases which follow the sleeve...

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I second your ideas - especially on high buttoning coats. But I like too much three-button coats that I can't abide two-buttons. My favourite style is a soft three-button which rolls to the second (but not completely, just partially), and with a lower stance, around the belly button. Pointless...

    Show off the sports coats.

    Actually, if you are between 39 and 44 there are rather enough of possibilities. Maybe not earlier pieces (but those don't come often in any size) but at least nice stuff from 50s and 60s is common. I've seen a reasonable number of larger pieces too, but in the last 2 months I've seen very few...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I'm bumping this question since I'm still interested in a clean way to alter the waist in fishtail back trousers.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I apologise I'm resuming this old thread but I think this is the right place to ask. I have a pair of (bespoke) trousers with fishtail back which I love and wear with pride. The problem is that they were cut for the days in which I was a 28, while now I am more like a 29-30. I can still wear...

    I still think that buying overly expensive OTR is foolish, at least from a theoretical point of view. At prices like Kiton's or Oxxford's, you can have very good bespoke pieces. However I realise that today: 1) there are few tailors that can offer a true, full bespoke service; 2) if you don't...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I may have the chance to get a tailcoat from the middle 1930s - Italian made, very rare. The only problem is, it doesn't come with its matching trousers but my source has a large number of white tie trousers so a reasonably matching pair could be eventually found. My question is: would be...

    I have recently acquired an almost identical sports coat, likely from 50s. Here's a quick picture (it's not a summer piece!) It fits immaculately except sleeves, which needed to be lengthened a bit.

    I don't understand why people still equate "Italian made" with "well made" or even "good taste". Have you ever been in an Italian clothing retail store? The cheap-average pieces are terrible, having all the same shape, the same boring colours, the same lifeless lapels.

    Really beautiful suit, Rabbit. Sadly way short for me, along coat body too.

    Spear point collar shirts

    It's not exactly in topic, but I wonder if someone knows a brand which makes shirts with the collar pictured below: It's not exactly a spearpoint, but i like it very much. It's very 40s/50s. Unfortunately it seems that this particular combination of narrow space with longer points is applied...

    This suit's material?

    I think I've seen a photo of you in that suit. Very very beautiful indeed.
