    FS: 1930s G.A. Dunn & Co. black homburg

    I have had this homburg for years, but it's just a little too big for me, and I just bought another black homburg that fits better (though sadly isn't as old). Made by G.A. Dunn & Co. in England, the hat has the full name and label on both the liner and sweatband. I believe the hat is 1930s...

    The bold fabric looks like cashmere stripe for morning dress.

    Holy Grail Vintage Suit: Stroller/ Black Lounge Suit

    It's very unlikely to have any vents at all.

    WOW DEADSTOCK 30s TIE FABRIC--ART DECO GALORE

    Glad you like the tie, RLK We may do some more, but I have 8 to finish right now, so it would have to wait until they're done.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Seven recently completed ties. Have another seven and one bow in three different silks to go, cutting them today.

    FS: Women's VERY wide-legged 2 piece outfit

    I have a trouser and vest outfit up for sale on eBay, made from a repro 1930s pattern. It no longer fits my wife, so moving it on. It is all hand sewn with traditional tailoring techniques. The trousers are nearly a yard in circumference at the cuff...

    FS: Gray 2 piece summer suit

    I have a 2 piece summer suit up for sale on eBay. It's a wool/Terylene blend, but I've found it to be a very nice, wearable summer suit. It's just too big for me now. The jacket is unlined, the trousers have been let out...

    Show us your suits

    Cross posted from the gents' Show us What You Made thread. Not vintage, but made using all vintage patterns, which I modified. Partly based on a vintage silk suit shared by Baron Kurtz, I also added a pleated belt back. 100% linen, jacket and waistcoat are both skeleton lined. I wore this to...

    Pre-1930s neckties

    HBK, it's a print. The fabric appears to be a sort of crepe.

    Pre-1930s neckties

    Couple recent finds. The diamond tie is cut on the straight of the grain, not the bias. The satin neck strip has embossing, but all I've managed to decipher is 'Detroit', I need to look at it in better light.

    Show us your TIES

    Now for the horror show. I pulled out a dozen ties, all of which need a cleanup but are otherwise in good condition. All the rest were worn though, ripped, torn, moth eaten, and stained. And then I pulled this out: It used to be a brown '30s necktie. This is one of the worst, but I was...

    Show us your TIES

    Found a basket of ties in a shop and spent some time digging. Here's what I unearthed: 2 '20s ties, one knit, one cut on the straight of the grain. From a menswear shop in Saginaw. I don't know what the mystery is. Five more ties from three different Sagniaw shops...

    30s 40s PALM BEACH SUIT Double BREASTED BELTED BACK PLEATS 39-40

    I should add, I have had medium and heavy weight db suits and jackets, and I never noticed a difference from my sb suits, but as they were for different seasons, I couldn't say how they compare.

    30s 40s PALM BEACH SUIT Double BREASTED BELTED BACK PLEATS 39-40

    I've never been sure about the double-breasted wears warmer thing. It's only an extra 7 or so inches on the lower torso. I guess I need a db summer suit to test the hypothesis ;)
