    Cricket

    One for the Cricket folk perhaps (English people, Australians, India etc), but a great little film in itself. It shows the real laid-back Sunday Afternoon spirit of the game. Also lots of well-dressed, well-behaved ladies and gents at the match There's a section showing the bats and balls being...

    Double Diamond Gusset?

    Sometimes it's a way of cutting the fork when the cloth is too narrow to accommodate the width of both pattern pieces (the fork of the undersides can be long for some people/sizes. It's also a way of saving cloth in cheaper production. The other possibility is an addition at a later stage of...

    Help dating a backless DB morning waistcoat

    Not cut-on like a coat; the lapel is made up and attached later.

    Laid-on lapel style, could be 1950s.

    How you ever worn certain clothes to give others "the finger?"

    Obviously? Is that discernible from the thread title, because I can't see that.

    How you ever worn certain clothes to give others "the finger?"

    All your clothes? They only make shirts. Don't you wear trousers?

    Post '30s belt-back jackets and suits

    It's a real nuisance when you find something you really like and the size is against you. You just know that somewhere else there's another fellow with a similar coat that is too big.

    The blades in the image are Treet blades, not Gillette.

    Nehru suit in LA

    I'm not offended. You showed me something I didn't even know about.

    Leisure Suit. If you're going to mock that Soul Train suit, you have to get the spelling right.:p

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    I second the admiration of the Krett & Sons. Along with the mid-grey with windowpane. This is not a mere suit collection, it's more like a film studio's wardrobe department!

    The summer wardrobe

    Looking good. The striped boating blazer is a look I also favour.

    Nehru suit in LA

    Why is 'not a tux' specified? I've never known dinner jackets to be commonly made with a Nehru collar?

    The summer wardrobe

    Blimey! What a tour-de-force of outfits Rabbit. Number 2 with boater and co-respondent shoes is splendid. I'm not afraid to break out a cream linen suit, but white would be a challenge. Last summer I was in a bar wearing white linen trousers and a vintage Hawaiian shirt, but the next day I...

    The summer wardrobe

    I'm interested to hear what other people will be planning to wear for summer. I'll taking a few linen suits out of storage, some linen and cotton waistcoats and I also have a pair of cricket flannels I made to a 1930s draft a few years back. When I was younger (16 - 35) I didn't used to enjoy...

    So you're making golden era suits?? What's that, you're not? You're just a spammer then.

    Formal Wear Primer

    With a top hat? Didn't you know that... Ah, who cares, it looks cool.

    Show off the sports coats.

    Very true. I have a couple of pairs of German morning dress trousers that are of the darker stripe rather than the more common grey/silver and black that are now taken as standard morning trousers. They're pretty roomy (could be 30s but I think 1950s). I use them as go-to trousers for doing...
