    Hey I'm not being definitive Bob! Selvedge did carry on into the thirties but was just more typical in the earlier days :) these things are always a patchwork of knowledge that we all contribute to in equal measure! :) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    MN - that tie is perhaps pretty old. Like 1910s or 1920s. With that selvedge edge on the small blade. I'd be interested in buying if you're selling? :) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Vintage Ginger tweed cap. Had to give it a stretch but now it fits okay. I love the proportions. Wide and flat, with no bells and whistles. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    That's a wonderful look Nik. It's something I've been trying to perfect myself for a while. Essentially trying to work with the more common and affordable vintage items on the market - striped formal trousers and black/dark jackets. You've really hit the sweet spot there. A great blend of formal...

    No no, I know perfectly well how to tie one - it just isn't something I'd choose to wear on a regular basis. I prefer vintage neckties (I have about 500, compared to the 7 or so bow ties). Just a personal taste thing. Although with the discussion yesterday, I did decide to put one on - my wife...

    It's a nice classic cut, very smart. Takes time to find the perfect one - you'll find it eventually! But in the mean time, that one is lovely - goes well with your whole Mad Men vibe. Nicely put together outfit. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Absolutely lovely coat - really nice with all the period features, but I'd say it looks timeless really! A lovely garment to have, especially, echoing Metatron, that it came from your grandfather. Bow ties aren't something I'm able to get on with myself, despite having a few now. But as you...

    Both are superb! Interested in the labels too - surprised to find that other than colouring not a lot is different. I've been looking for a good Harris Tweed to replace my 1960s ones. I've a picture of my grandfather in one in the late forties. I really want to replicate it. Let me know if you...

    What are you wearing today??

    Brilliant! I've got dozens of Klippers - one of my favourite brands! I like it even more now I know ;) I think I shall definitely go for luxire in that case. They seem to know what they're doing! I never did get around to knitting my own, although one day I intend to find the time! But I...

    Very nice - your colour choices go together impeccably. Does your tie have a brand? It's lovely. And bargain trousers! Also, is your experience of Luxire good? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Nice! Love that rounded end stitching. Probably 1910s 1920s? Looks like when it ties the rear blade will be longer that the front. I have a couple of those rare compared to most. Price is probably right - there's a similar one on ebay for about that much. HBK knows more than I do. Sent from...

    1940s CC41 British Double Breasted Suit. 38R.

    Hello all, Here is a genuine CC41 British suit, from the rationing era. It has hardly any wear, but does have a few moth holes, which are detailed in the photos. The CC41 label has seemingly been chopped at, but it is evident what it is. The suit's manufacturer was 'Burleigh'. Looking for £300...

    Mapledoram Suits on Etsy...any experiences?

    I have some cashmere and wool blended trousers, and in a suit. By Abraham Moon. Terrible. Crease goes right out of them, and they wore through at the crotch almost immediately. Not to say that these suits would be the same, but I personally am avoiding cashmere now. I suppose it also depends on...

    Thread to display you collarless/tunic/Grandad shirts

    Scotrace - Great example of a shirt. I can just imagine some gentleman in the Wild West wearing it. Are there many examples of rear fastening ones? I've had a couple, but they're only dress evening shirts with starched fronts. F.J - Bargain! Really crisp shirts there! RetroS - That is a very...

    Hi PeterB. Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. The suit technically is a made-to-measure. I do it via an outfitter friend of mine, who sends off my measurements, as well as the 'bespoke' features I want (belt back, cinch buckle on rear of trousers, fishtail back, etc.) and then...
