    Fastuni, just posted button pix in the sportcoats thread.

    Show off the sports coats.

    As per Fastuni's request in the WIWTD thread, here are close ups of the buttons from the teal sportcoat documented in this post. This jacket is a bit of a mystery to me - it seems like a 30's jacket to me, but being bespoke, who really knows. The buttons seem pretty unique. Throat latch...

    What are you wearing today??

    Very much so. I brought my tailor photos of this pair that thunderw21 sold on Etsy, and he nailed the specs. They are ten inches wide at the ankle, and they drape perfectly. Would recommend without reservation for a suit or odd trousers. Thanks Metatron...it will be getting a lot of wear this...

    What are you wearing today??

    Mothballed the summer wardrobe, and brought the fall stuff out - including this '30s bespoke sport coat I hadn't gotten the chance to wear yet. Belted back, bi-swing shoulders, in a nice teal tweed with a rust windowpane. New cream flannels also getting another wear. The hat is a 30's Borso...

    Second wear for these cream flannels made up from Fox Bros' 13 oz cricket white. Jacket is the top half of an RL suit.

    amazing Burtons suits

    Man, those waistcoats are amazing, though I agree, I think the fabric and cut of the first suit is better than the one that knocked the top off the price ceiling. And, as someone with a relatively long inseam, I concur - whenever I see something with trousers that might fit I am all the more...

    HBK, is that collar bar a clip on, or a pin?

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Excellent suit, HS - and the accessories amplify it perfectly. With a pinstripe that bold, you just gotta own it. Well done.

    Dirt Removal?

    Dry cleaners are usually reticent to do any heavy duty work on your clothes, because they know you might hold them responsible if they destroy the fabric in the process. Most hard core cleaning methods run a risk to fabrics, especially old ones. That said, if you are willing to take a little...

    1910s-20s black derby boots

    Could well be - still, I've never seen a vintage pair in such a large size. Couple similar pairs from Etsy: Actual button-up balmoral boots: http://www.etsy.com/listing/198429385/vintage-edwardian-balmoral-cloth-button And another pair of derbies...

    1910s-20s black derby boots

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1920s-Dress-Boots/281403903978 If the heel-to-toe length is to be believed, these are quite large.

    What are you wearing today??

    Guess I've just gotten lucky. I think I've got 3 RL jackets, and they all button high. But, I'm sure across their line there are a spectrum of stances. HB3 - I put up more photos of it in the Ralph Lauren thread awhile back...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks HBK - One of the things I like about RL's jackets, across the board, is the high button stance. Even where the trouser rise is frustratingly low, the jackets always button just at the right place. I think that is one of the reasons this belted back has a late 20's vibe. Also the...

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    <<PARDON CHANDLER-LOVER THREAD DERAIL PLEASE>> I think you are 100% right. Marlowe has no love for men who don't live up to his standard of manliness - think of the pummeling he gives Carol Lundgren. But I also think that Chandler is very interested in showing that great wealth is the Maltese...

    What are you wearing today??

    Headed to a neighborhood event, "White Linen Nights" tonight. jacket is RRL belted back, pants are part of the brown collegiate suit whose other pieces can be found in the "Show us your 30's suits" thread. Tie is 20s/30s.

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Of course, Marlowe was also inherently suspicious of anyone who wasn't clad in work-a-day blue serge - General Sternwood aside, who he seemed to like a little. But there is no way around the dandyish connotations of a cream wool suit. Case in point:
