    Great find Fastuni. Really like that windowpane check.

    Ask a question, get an answer [general attire edition]

    i think it's generally wise to have three belts, the only three you will probably ever need - one in black leather, one in dark brown, one in a lighter tan, chestnut shade. Certainly, one of those three would match the non-white leather on the specs, and that's the one I'd wear.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks for your anecdote tropicalbob! Being born in '82, things were already on the decline when I exited the short-pants demographic. Honest-to-god haberdashers are sadly rare as hens-teeth, especially ones that actually make things rather than just market them. The three left here in Houston...

    What are you wearing today??

    Today I'm sporting a gray herringbone tweed, patch pocketed, #1 sack suit from the halcyon days of Brooks Brothers. These suits went unmolested by the vagaries of fashion for decades, so I have no idea when it was made, other than that it is pre 1980s.

    I suit therefore I am.

    Would that things were so in the US. Dressing is very fraught with ideology here. Dressing in coat and tie as a matter of habit rather than occasion invites a whole host of challenges and declarations from people, ranging from complimentary to curious to rude. It is, as Mr. Deckard suggests...

    Thanks gents! Square was a tan brocade that, hopefully, picked up the tan in the tie.

    What are you wearing today??

    Today I wore the most "collectible" vintage in my wardrobe - three piece 1930's sport suit with pleated patch pockets and a belted back in a lovely chocolate gabardine. I'm going crazy for houndstooth lately, as my shirt evidences. Also I love the Golden Era habit of combining brown and gray.

    Morning dress - white waistcoat and bow tie

    Hadn't thought about that, but very true. A low-cut waistcoat won't do.

    Morning dress - white waistcoat and bow tie

    To the OP's question, certainly enough provenance has been established here to justify wearing a white waistcoat with morning dress, which is news to me! I thought buff and dove gray were the only really acceptable colors. As has been noted, it would be wise to choose something other than a...

    Morning dress - white waistcoat and bow tie

    Point taken for the photos of McKinley et al, but the person behind the Prince is almost certainly wearing white. If it were buff, there'd be a yellowish hue, even granted reflection.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks gents! It's a great piece of 1930's tailoring to be sure. Interesting, swanson_eyes! Usually I get a bevy of celeb dopplegangers. I am in my early 30's though, so either I should be flattered for looking young or your cousin crestfallen for outpacing his age, not sure which!

    Late 1940's Brown Striped Montague Burton Three Piece Suit

    For your consideration: a late 40's Montague Burton three piece in a heavy brown worsted wool, with lighter brown stripes. This suit is a bit of a mystery, one leg was unhemmed when i received it, and the trousers had been narrowed and the jacket let all the way out with a single vent added to...
