    Show off the sports coats.

    1949 union tag, made of thick wool. It gives off a late '20s vibe to me, might have been bought by an old gentleman who preferred the older look.

    It definitley works. The grey/blue windowpane in the vest compliments the suit very well, and with grey being an all accepting color, the beige just pops out very nicely giving a wonderful contrast.

    Sports Coat Question - Bold Look?

    I'd say it is. The low gorge, big shoulders, decent sized lapels and boxy cut all say "bold look" to me. A very nice example I might add. From what I've read and seen in person and in movies, the "bold look" was in vogue from around 1947-1955.

    Your Most Misunderstood Piece of Vintage

    Chimney sweep? They were probably thinking of Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins", even though he wears a suit. What really should come to mind with shawl collar cardigans/sweaters

    if you could find the suit of one famous previous owner, whose would it be?

    I have belief that it was that kind of '20s jacket, (which in the film shows it also has a belted back), is really what inspired the '60s/'70s mod versions instead of the '30s ones.

    Mistake on my part, I've just always refered to any straw fedora/porkpie as a panama hat. Now I'm glad that I understand the proper term for that weave.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    What I wore to work last week. 1950's Adam. The guys at the local hat store where I get my vintage hats serviced couldn't decipher whether it's a fedora or porkpie. I just refer to it as a "Forkpie".

    Homburg I recently picked up. 1950's? The only clue to the maker of this hat. Narrows it down to manufacturer names that end in "O".

    That's one interesting jacket! I've never seen a single breasted with 2 lapel buttonholes.
