    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    This is a bit of a holy grail suit for me. It's an early 40's three piece suit and is flawless, nary a moth hole nor snag to be found of any sort. The color is a deep emerald green with silvery and red striping. The rayon that lines the jacket and backs the vest is a similar emerald shade...

    Today, sporting a 1941 dated suit I bought from Dinerman.

    Post '30s belt-back jackets and suits

    Great score Papperskatt. The tweed is lovely, and the jacket feels pretty timeless. Well worth the minuscule price.

    You nailed it HBK - though I wish we could see the colors!

    It's cold (by Texas-in-February-standards) so I'm playing with textures and patterns. If you ever find yourself torn about bidding on a teal tweed coat from the 30's on ebay - pull the trigger. It's way more versatile than you're thinking, I promise. Unseen are AE Daltons (brogued blucher...

    Truly. The jacket would not look orphaned at all, as a stand-alone with flannels. Great acquisition Fastuni!

    This is persuasive. Was made-to-measure a thing in the late 40's? Could've been an M2M experiment that either was not picked up, or picked up and returned but never worn. Can't imagine Burton was doing swift business with one button link-fastened jackets off the rack post-war. Thanks Claudio...

    The Thread to Display Your 1940s Suits

    Lovely suit! Subtle pinstripes are great. Looks like the collar could use some attention too - but that might just be the way the jacket is sitting in that photo.

    16 inches, approximately. 4 extra inches at the ankle spread between the outseam and inseam. Nick, seems like that surmise is as plausible as any other - though, would Burton keep spare fabrics for decades?

    Thanks for the kind words and commentary all. So late 40's make (given the jacket construction) with alterations in the 50's to accommodate an expanding waistline and changing fashions? TT, the whole suit is as pristine as the waistcoat. One trouser leg was unhemmed when it came to me, and if...

    Bought this Burton suit from ebay. The single link button enticed me. This suit is pretty strange. Classic Burton logo, and CC41 tag in the vest. Single link button jacket with a low button stance. The jacket seems a little like it was shortened after the fact. Trousers were fitted with a patch...

    Question for Pomade Users

    For high hold pomades with a lot of wax, what you've described is a pretty common experience. You didn't get a "bad batch." You need to melt the wax a bit to make application easier. With the medium hold waxy pomade I use now, I find that the vigorous rubbing between my hands works. When I used...

    What are you wearing today??

    Great look, but rare to see you without a pocket square TT. Pale blue shirt offsets the reds and browns nicely. How long do you ask Luxire to make your spearpoints?

    What are you wearing today??

    It is certainly maximalist dressing, but the plain pocket square limits pattern fatigue, and the jacket pinstripe isn't so loud as to compete with tie or shirt. I think you are just the right side of busy, which is a sweet spot, IMHO. Love that mackinaw HS! Another great look.
  17. Patrick Hall

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

    Indeed, but all of the shirts in that photo look to me like what luxire calls the "one piece" collar - constructed to lay flat over the collar of a jacket. That particular brand of casual shirt is scarce outside of the vintage/bespoke world, it seems. This look is difficult to pull off with any...

    What are you wearing today??

    Really well done Anthony. I am a fan of using morning dress waistcoats with appropriately dressy suits. And the gold tie against the blue (green?) pencil stripe is lovely.

    Uh, Damian, that jacket looks amazing. Hope you can gift us with more pics! Great job on the cap, PS.

    What are you wearing today??

    Suit's a stunner HS. I agree with Fastuni that you have merged formal/city/sport elements in a way that risks making your ensemble incoherent. BUT - your suit already invites such blending, given that it merges those wardrobe categories in its very design - made of heavy black fabric with a...

    Short Waitcoats

    Just did a quick comparison. They're longer by about an inch or so. But the pattern is different in other ways. They're boxier, too roomy in the chest, and the points aren't as pronounced.
