    What are you wearing today??

    TT, your pattern matching is transcendent. Very well done. Saving this one for reference.

    Ralph Lauren Beltbacks

    Investigator1947 is a pretty good seller. I've found the measurements to be spot on with the several suits I've gotten from them. You can always send them a message to verify. Two inches of ease in the chest for a modern RL jacket sounds about right to me.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I have one suit with that button placement. It's a 30's bespoke number I bought from BK. Have always wondered why the buttons were so peculiarly placed.

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    I agree with Rabbit, pairing a vest/jacket with odd trousers can work well. In terms of the stripes, the only striped jackets I will wear with odd trousers are navy. I think this works because a striped navy jacket reads like a blazer. I'd especially recommend wearing a navy pinstripe with cream...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Papperskatt that suit is amazing. Is the vest double-breasted? I don't think I've ever seen a suit-belt like that, with the kind of buckle you'd find on a raincoat. I've seen it on some 60's era Norfolk jackets, but I assumed all the authentic ones from the teens/twenties had the double-button...

    man, that pink and red is lovely. Great score Fastuni. You have the touch!

    What are you wearing today??

    Ha - almost did exactly that at dinner last night. Caught my fork right before it made disastrous contact. Don't have good reflexes, but apparently they emerge when called for. 80 year silk is tender stuff. I'm afraid to even have it pressed, as the last time I did it came back with the collar...

    What are you wearing today??

    Great looks everyone! HS, I love that zippered polo + sports jacket look. The breast pocket on that jacket is amazing. Couple recents looks, given that spring is here. The second is my favorite spring/summer suit, an unconstructed silk suit made in 1937. Only thing I don't like about it is the...

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    One of my favorite odd trousers is made of covert cloth. Very sturdy stuff, and drapes pretty well. Obviously it's a lighter weight than what you'd find in a covert coat.

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    Thanks for the props Cookie (and everyone else). The jacket in your photo is awesome. I really love the lapels. Could be twins with my suit for sure. Well, maybe an uncle or something.

    The Thread to Display 1950s Suits

    Welcome to the Lounge! That's a beautiful suit. HS&M made good stuff, back in the day.

    HS - great Easter outfit. I love the pattern in your tie, especially. Hamilcar, the pockets on that PB suit are awesome!

    1930s Blue Tweed Suit

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/BOND-1930s-Slate-blue-3pc-mens-suit-button-fly-41-chest-33-waist-/191551518334 Beautiful suit. But this guy's measurements continue to be utter insanity. How do you get a 41 inch chest out of a 17 pit-to-pit measurement, where the vest is an inch larger, and the pant...

    Show us their suits

    The peak lapels on that suit checked suit in the first picture are positively rakish. As usual, thanks for these screen grabs TT.

    Show us their suits

    I like the slit pocket + ticket pocket look. I know slit pockets are technically dressier, but it's SO functional to just be able to jam your hands into your jacket pockets without contending with a flap. Great for a casual jacket.

    What are you wearing today??

    When I was in college at the University of Texas, a society I was in, which shall remain nameless, ordered all the...uh...new members to purchase Pecos boots, and wear them always. This was back when they still had the cork sole. I still love those boots, and wear them whenever real work needs...
