    blue serge suit with the belt in the back

    Do you think he's referring to this sort of cut? He mentions in the song, "no drape" and it dates to 1929 but this, as you can see, is 1921 so I suppose not even though this is what his description sounds like in my head... any ideas? thanks baron about the serge description, I don't think I...

    Do you think it would have been possible he have also made Ronald Colman's suit worn in Lost Horizon aswell?

    what's that old line about skeletons..?

    Hello Matt, thank you also for the reply. Huh, so you're suggesting fused being not that bad of an option? Is Skeleton lining noticeably different in weight or warmth? I've only ever had suits that have been lined.

    what's that old line about skeletons..?

    thanks for the replies guys! So what would be the difference between bespoke & made to order (as in, an online service from mr. magnoli)? So the stitched canvas interfacing has no relationship to if you have a suit barely if at all, partially or fully lined? If ordering a tweed suit, would...

    what's that old line about skeletons..?

    Maybe this is suits 101, if so please bear with me... When ordering a bespoke suit, is it possible (& suggested) to ask for skeleton lining and floating canvas? Or do you need to go with one or the other as skeleton lining means you've only really got one level of fabric between you and the...

    Original Special Effects

    Hey great topic :eusa_clap Anyone seen the relatively recent film, Call of Cthulhu? It was filmed silent and respecting original filmmaking techniques. For instance, although they edited digitally, they created their atmosphere by way of layering in the computer. So I suppose it's green...

    Three Skeleton Key?!?!?!

    Thanks so much for posting this! Finally got to download it and listen to it undisturbed. It's got a lot going for it, I really enjoy that they attempted this story although reading it is a lot more creepy. But on a a dark night driving around this really hit the spot, thanks again!

    Pinstripes - how bold?

    Great! Thanks a lot! I love that look but didn't know what it was called!

    Pinstripes - how bold?

    Are you referring to the bit of fabric that appears rolled up and then comes down to make the outer-upper part of the sleeve? I've seen that look to a much greater degree in classic films and photos and wasn't sure what this was called. It's called a roped sleevehead?
