    I know this was one of the most hideous men in history, but... very good looking suit.

    Too sad! Don't tell me the size or I'll cry if it's mine :D :D Very nice coat, indeed. Also very interesting the herringbone pattern - quite noticeable but not loud.

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    I'm sorry DAJE, I actually didn't mean to offend you. But you're right: if you want to wear shorts, it's in your freedom to do it. But you have to accept that not everyone could like this way of dressing, like me having to accept many disapproving glances wearing a 1930's suit. It's right that...

    Summer style...how do you keep it when the heat kicks up?

    I respect you opinion, but I have to disagree. I live in Roma, one of the hottest cities in Italy; during summer months, from June to early September, the average daytime temperature is 32° Celsius. In July and August temperature it's every day over 35 C° Celsius. I see a lot of people wearing...

    Short Waitcoats

    Actually it's not so common to find an orphaned waistcoat if you're going to pair it with true high rise trousers. I own a very beautiful suit from early 30s which lacks of waistcoat and I had no luck finding one shorter than 20'' at the back, when the best length would be 18''-19''. Few inches...

    I'm sorry if this was posted quite a long ago, but I had to comment that I find these lapels really really outstanding!!!! Did you keep this or it was sold?

    How did people in the 40s-50s casually dress? (Without Suits)

    If you're looking for a shirt with a collar like those in vogue before 1960s, Savile Row Company isn't the best choice (although I hope they'll begin to make them). They offer a couple of tab collar but no spearpoint collar, that is the one. Shirt made with that knd of collar are not common, and...

    How did people in the 40s-50s casually dress? (Without Suits)

    I may suggest you to look also at http://savilerowco.com/shirts/. They have a good range of dress and casual shirts, with different sleeve length. I bought some shirts from them and I'm quite happy (at least for having shirts with proper sleeves, as I've got rather long arms for a 15'' neck).

    Custom made suit or an off-the-rack suit?

    As KILO NOVEMBER, I'd prefer Savile Row bespoke suits of the best quality and comfort, but I'm not so wealthy. I wear almost vintage suits, so they can be tailor made or off-the-rack; indeed the quality of many off-the-rack suits of the past is really over our common standard, especially in...

    Drycleaning Vintage Suits?

    Thank you, Rudie. I think there are some "wet cleaners" in my city, though not so near to me. I'm a bit sick of dry-cleaning, mostly because it doesn't remove odours and clothes seems like... they were before washing. This is very interesting; I've always wondered if you could succesfully...

    Drycleaning Vintage Suits?

    Anyone has ever tried the (relatively) new technique called "wet cleaning" (click)? It seems a kind of washing using water but without ruining that garments we usually take to dry-clean. If the whole thing is working, the advantages would obviously be the elimination of all organic odours...

    What's For Breakfast...

    This morning I had a fruit-flavoured youghurt and a coffee (which you surely would call "espresso"). But usually I have a cornetto and an espresso or, if I'm having breakfast at the bar, a cappuccino! Not quite a British breakfast!

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Thank you, Patrick Hall! Here are three more shots; it's really hard to capture the real colour. Detail of sleeve head with shirring (sort of "manica camicia" in fact): Detail of lapel buttonhole: Another shot of the fabric: The last two pics show the closest colour to the reality, even if...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just yesterday evening me and my fiancée watched a classic movie from 1930: I think many of you surely know "Borrowed Wives". I had never seen it before and was a very funny one!

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    This is an American three-piece suit made by Utah Woolen Mills in 1938. There is a label inside the inner pocket indicating the tailoring date. The outside label says "Jack Frost" which I believe to be a brand or a type of cloth. It's single breasted, two button, in a medium weight blue fabric...
