1920s suits
You're right about that. The original wearer must have had an ability to have a wide range of motions, with the arms. Try doing that with most of the modern suits, and you'll pull the rest of the jacket up. -
1920s suits
It looks very nice! Now I'm curious, how low rise are the pants? Would they compare with most medium rise pants made today? -

You're not kidding, that tie does go very well with the denim shirt! Those are all nice ties, too.- The Good

I like those 1900s ties, it's too bad someone here did not get them, but I hope whoever has will wear them. I know I would, from time to time, even if most of them are clip ons. That's another thing I'm surprised about, though, how it seems that so many Edwardian ties that have survived are clip...- The Good

Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?
That's another way to add a little style to the look.- The Good

Removing cigarette smoke smell on ties (or other clothes)
OK, thanks. I looked around, and I believe I found a kind of soap that fits your description.- The Good

Removing cigarette smoke smell on ties (or other clothes)
Thank you for the suggestion. Do you think just washing them with cold water would be enough to remove the scent of smoke?- The Good

What is the most effective way to wash them? I think these ties are wool.- The Good

Removing cigarette smoke smell on ties (or other clothes)
What do you do about the scent of cigarette smoke on a necktie? There are two I received today that are '40s or '50s ties, which smell like the previous wearer was a heavy smoker, and as though some of it got on the ties. They remind me of an ashtray, and it's a noticeably strong smell. What...- The Good

Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?
That is one exception to the look I'm willing to make. To me, putting the collar over the lapels is a style itself. Too many people wearing tieless suits or jackets don't consider that detail. I'd still rather put on a tie, but the look in your picture actually does the tieless suit justice...- The Good

Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?
I'm not sure about how common this practice is in London, or other parts of Britain, but I do have something to say about the tieless suit fashion. To me, an open-necked shirt is not a bad look, especially if worn with a shirt color other than just white, but it strikes me as unimaginative if...- The Good

Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?
To me, this doesn't look bad. This must have been the very early 1970s, when proportions could still be more moderate. However, your eyesight may suffer: Some more womens' hairstyles, and I think the last three are the most unflattering: https://tminx.wordpress.com/tag/bad-hair-book/...- The Good

Date my new jacket?
To me, it looks to be of the late 1950s earliest, through all the 1960s. I may be wrong, but it matches up most with the 1960s Burberrys' labels on this website: http://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/burberrys/ It's a nice jacket, and I like thicker weight fabrics, as opposed to... -

Thanks! I've got a preference for red ties, generally, followed closely by blue, grey, yellow, green, tan, and black ties. I may find any color combination appealing, as long as the tie is, though. For the second tie, I am just the sort to break the rules, and wear it with a tan suit, or tan...- The Good

Very good, Dinerman! Today, I've won two more ties. I believe these are a 1950s Wembley, and a 1940s Hugh & Hattner. After this, I might stop for a long while, before getting more. I also need to count how many ties I have, now...- The Good

Thanks! Unfortunately, the material was not known by the seller. I am guessing wool, but dacron or rayon are possible. I think black ties would have been very commonly used by the police, and the military, but I've read a post on here before, suggesting that black was mainly for weddings...- The Good

Now, I've got two new Wembley ties. No widths or lengths were specified, but to me, they appear to be 1940s. I am hoping to win one more auction before giving the tie collecting a break until after summer. That maroon striped tie is new for me, and the black tie will join my collection of five...- The Good

On my screen at least, we're now at page 1000! I feel compelled to post: There is unfortunately no label on this tie, but the seller believed it to have been made during the 1940s. It is a bit narrow to be typical of that decade, but something about it does not strike me as 1960s, for...- The Good

Do you have any idea how much longer the new waistcoats from JCrew are? Thank you.
