FS: A pair of gray Bond Street Spats, in very good condition, WITH original box AND spare button still on the card! They appear to have been little if ever worn. NO rust on the buckles, straps still gray, no stains. Some moth nibbles on the top back of the left spat, but no holes, and in a...
I have four pairs of ladies' gloves for sale. The long pair are Fownes sz. 6 1/2. The yellowish pair are deerskin sz. 6 1/2. The green pair are 6 1/2 and very fine leather. The beaded pair are unmarked but comparable, though not leather. In good to excellent condition, no holes that I've found...
One of my favorite adaptations of one of my favorite plays. Richard giving the opening monologue to Edward's face at the beginning is brilliant. Yes, it's the Wars of the Roses, but in this context imagine the Spanish Civil War had influenced England in the '30s. Love it.
How many darts are taken out of the front and back of the cuffs? I see one in the photo laid flat, but are there two or one on the other side? How long are they?
WOW! Now that's a fabric! Quite a nice looking cut, too. Could you post a couple more detail shots of the cuffs? This is a kneeband arrangement I haven't seen before.
Me too! A little heavier would be nice, but I bought this online (9 yards and a steal on eBay) and that's often a gamble, though it looks better in person. Ah, well, in the future. I have a nice Harris tweed for a suit at some point.
I've been working on this project for a while, and recently finished it. It's a five piece suit, inspired by the one worn by Bela Lugosi in The Black Cat. His was only a three piece, but I had enough extra fabric for a cap and plus fours. I've been wanting a plus fours suit, so this was a...
Welcome to the Lounge, Bespokewrinles. I second Patrick, especially the blue suit. That double breasted vest looks spot on, something that one doesn't see often in modern suits, even bespoke.
The two buttons that receive the most stress during wear are the collar and bottom buttons. The horizontal buttonhole will take the strain without distorting and allowing the button to come undone.
Double breasted jacket with a single breasted vest was quite common before mid-century. You find them all the time in movies, photos, catalogs, and originals. Single breasted with a double breasted vest was relatively uncommon, though more frequent than today.
Nice shop!
I've been smithing for years. I did it professionally for a while, too, until I started teaching at the university (which has kept me out of the forge for a while, but I'll find the time eventually!)
Here are some of the things I like to make!
