    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    yes... RRL, Mount Street. if you've never been you're in for a treat... even if you don't spend anything. i've considered many possible ventures to do with tailoring and so far none of them have got further than the ideas stage. i blame not having enough time. ;)

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    when you weigh up how long i've been trying to find a really good original or repro shawl collar cardigan i don't think it's so bad. also, consider how much people around here spend on repro leather jackets which are in far greater supply than good shawl collar cardigans. thanks, the bow tie...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    £360. i've been looking for the perfect shawl collar cardigan for about four years now, and was prepared to pay when the right one showed up. bear in mind that good condition 1920s-30s originals can go for £500 to £800 on US ebay, then there's import tax to pay on top if you live in the UK...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    Rudie, remember that there's 2" of cuff turned back on those sleeves, which you could leave unturned and would take the sleeve length to about 26.5". the trouser fabric is a fancy stripe cotton (quite faded now since they were made).

    1920s suits

    Rudie, it's a 'full dress' style waistcoat, normally associated with evening / formal wear, but the shape was often used with the adventurous 'jazz' type suits of the late teens and early 20s.

    Fastuni, i wonder if 'Friday' is a dry cleaner's stamp ? notice that it's much fresher than the other black ink which has worn off.

    deadstock Edwardian - 20s tie, probably from a sports / college outfitter. the tie is only 36" long which means if tied with a four-in-hand there's only 7" of drop left. label is on the back of the front blade:
