    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks gents! HS, suit was indeed an ebay BIN - a year and some change ago maybe? The fake flaps on the vest are my favorite utterly superflous detail ever. Though, I much prefer the back on your jacket with inverted pleat that gives more range of motion, so I still think your bellowed-pocketed...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks for the kind words gents! Fading Fast, the suit insistently photographs blue, but is actually the far green side of teal. HS - that jacket is AMAZING! I can't believe you were considering trading it, and I must say, I'm glad no other bellow-pocketed gem seduced you away, because the...

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

    Picked up this fleck-y tweed on ebay for pennies. Some stains and mending needed finessing, and it was in dire need of a good press. It looked like someone had balled this suit up and shoved it in a corner of a trunk somewhere. Both the stains and the mends are hidden by the mottled look of the...

    Will you have the jacket taken in Dostioffsky? The fit looks great in the shoulders and chest. I love the combo of natural shoulder + peak lapel + slanted breast pocket. Great find!

    Several Interesting Vintage Suits via Ebay

    Thanks Burma Schave. Does seem like a fundamentally unfixable problem. Shame too, as the trousers are long enough to fit.

    Several Interesting Vintage Suits via Ebay

    AHHH THERE IS STILL NO EDIT IN HERE. Was going to say, that gray Burton 3 piece - how bad does the fading look to you guys? Also, is that the result of too much direct sunlight for too long?

    His snootiness about inseams is irritating too.

    What are you wearing today??

    Wearing my new favorite (and green!) vintage suit. early/mid 40's. Rest is modern Brooks Bros. Unseen are Alden cordovan short-wings with a chunky double sole.

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    Really beautiful suit Nick. I love the shape of the jacket, and the way the curve of the pinstripes accentuate it.

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

    Hemingway Jones, the lapels on the waistcoat of that Cordings suit are great! Would that your suit was actually indicative of most 21st c. tailoring! TT, any thoughts on the date for barmey's sport coat? Buttons are closely spaced - looks teens/early 20's to my amateur eye? The green and brown...

    Show us your British suits

    it was a savvy row purchase??? I have to check their website more frequently. I just assumed it was always an endless parade of dinner jackets and tail coats (not that there is anything wrong with that).

    The color of that tweed has some depth. Really lovely. And the short peak lapels are also great. Is the waistcoat missing a button, or is he simply injecting a little "spretz" into his look?

    Great find Papperskatt. I really like the subtle teal stripe.

    What are you wearing today??

    HS, that jacket is a real catch. The leather looks amazing. It really must have soaked in that conditioner. And Nick, great to see you in this thread! I really love the patch pockets on your tweed coat, and that collar is lovely. Are your trousers a lighter shade of gray? I always worry that...

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    You're welcome! You should have at least a finger's worth of ease in a collar, when your shirt's buttoned all the way up. Could be that you're a half size - like between a 15 and a 16. Generally such sizes are hard to find off the rack. I actually agree with this. Forcing people to wear...

    I definitely saved all those suggested pattern/color combos. And man, the shirting fabrics on offer then. Just extraordinary.

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    A mistake, no. There are no fashion mistakes anymore. But what if going tieless is a missed opportunity? Men of all ranks used to hang a functionally dubious strip of cloth about their necks to confront the daily grind, I suspect for the same reason they wore generously proportioned hats with...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks for the comments, gents. Papperskatt, is the square too matchy with the fair isle? Was concerned about that when I stuffed it in there this morning.

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    Thanks guys. HBK, petrol blue/teal is close - though IRL it's maybe a hair's breadth greener. But man, it's fun to wear. The color really stands out in a room, in the subtlest of ways.
