Very nice Dostioffsky. Nice to see some casual looks from the stars.
HBK - I've acquired a knitted tie in similar style to that peculiar short one you posted somewhere a while ago. Where the rear blade ties longer than the front. Only thing is that this one is black, so that rules out the...
Great story once again DM. I know that pain of turning up in a town and the vintage/charity shops are shut for no explicable reason! And some cool shots of the tiki bar - I wish we had stuff like that here!
The pleat back corduroy sounds interesting too - I'd love to see a picture if you're...
Great haul Bob! I love that very last one very much, like yourself. Right up my street. And that Shunga Boo is a real interesting find. Am I right in thinking they fetch a pretty penny? Great for the collection though. Although I guess with the Internet these days those sorts of things are a...
That's a good deal Ade! Well done!
DanielJones - great catalogue scans! But as you say such nightwear isn't suited to centrally heated homes. Alas!

Nice jacket Anthony. A different choice to go with the striped trousers, but works well if you ask me. Very nice. Were you dressed for work or just for going out? I've never found proper occasion for striped trousers etc.

So common AND fabric saving ;) Thanks for the info.
For me the button placing is ideal - I love when the bottom button is in line with the pockets. And the lapels are solid but not too ostentatious. It's a perfect suit for me! If only if only...
Thanks gents. I've not had time to go over it with a fine tooth comb yet so I don't know what to do with it with regards selling or keeping. So far I've just stared at it adoringly and lamented my larger size. But I shall consider your offer Nik :) The cloth is great. Really soft and comfy, and...
Hello gents. Not had opportunity to post here really, with not having many felt hats, but I found a beauty. It was all crumpled up in a vintage shop, and I managed to get it for £8 (I guess that's about $12?). With a steam and massage it came up absolutely immaculate. The photos don't do the...
Nice ties mate! That Vigorn - I've definitely got one just like it, but without the 'Woolmark' label on, that could well be from anywhere between 1930s/1950s, so I think you're not far off anyway Hal. I think 'Woolmark' came in at about 1964, but certainly Vigorn had that design knocking about...
Hi gents. I posted this over in the British suits thread - I'll copy it verbatim:
This came in the post today, and I'm thrilled. Although it's miles too small for me, it's a fantastic example of 1940s tailoring, and I'm nearly 100% sure it's CC41 too. The label has been monstrously cut out, but...
This came in the post today, and I'm thrilled. Although it's miles too small for me, it's a fantastic example of 1940s tailoring, and I'm nearly 100% sure it's CC41 too. The label has been monstrously cut out, but I can recognise the rounded tops of the 'CC'. It is by 'Burleigh', has 10 and 1/2"...
Lovely collar, and a great little advert there. I suppose collars were another affordable way for regular gents to express their own style. Regular gents don't get the option these days. It's spread or right angular or nothing!

The tweed trousers are interesting. Apparently my wife's grandfather had a thick pair of tweed trousers that he wore for farming all weathers, hot or cold.
