    Almost NOS Johnston & Murphy #8 Shell Cordovan Wingtips, 10D

    These vintage Johnston & Murphy shell cordovan wingtip bals are in fantastic condition, and from the condition of the uppers look unworn. The only reason I can't say with certainty they're NOS is because of the fading on the sock liner. The shoe-repair place I bought them from replaced the...

    Royal Stetson Stratoliner, 7 3/8 LO

    This is a lovely Royal Stetson Stratoliner in silverbelly, size 7 3/8 long oval. It's in great condition, with no moth damage whatsoever. Slight signs of wear with very light sweat marks on the liner and ribbon, but those would clean easily. Fit is TTS, but I can get a measurement if anyone...

    Show off the sports coats.

    John Kent is a currently active Savile Row tailor, so that one is almost certainly from the last two or three decades. The cloth may be Solaro, a summer fabric "A solaro is achieved by weaving a classically toned warp with an intensely coloured, acidic weft creating an opulent, coloured fabric...

    Awesome. Thanks for the info, Marc! I knew that if anyone would know, it'd be you.

    Mystery label

    Anybody recognize this label? It was on a tailcoat at Goodwill tonight that I took to be from at least the '30s, maybe earlier. It had the sans-buttonhole boutonniere holder arrangement that Ray showed on one of his coats long ago, where you stick the stem between the collar and lapel. It...

    "Holy Grail" Suit I Wouldn't Have Expected

    Brooks had stores in San Francisco and LA as early as the late Fifties, so trad can't have been completely unknown out there. But I agree it was never as popular out there as on the East Coast.

    "Holy Grail" Suit I Wouldn't Have Expected

    That is certainly very high for that suit. I'm inclined to think that it was a bidding-war fluke as well. For those who do like the Trad style, and I'm among them, the suit is somewhat distinctive in that, being from the '50s, it's from the very beginning of the Trad heyday years. '50s...

    My New Bespoke Gray Flannels - Pictures! - What Do You Think?

    Looks good! They need a bit more shaping with the iron to account for your prominent calves, but overall the pattern looks pretty good.

    Spring Loaded Collar Button HELP

    It's not a collar button. It's a shirt stud, used with evening wear in place of buttons to close the front of your shirt.

    GREAT Belted Back Tweed Sportcoat -- well done

    Been doing my best to disabuse them lately, but not sure I'm making much headway.

    Seersucker

    Wow, old thread. For me the top criteria for a seersucker suit are less-than-full lining, because it's supposed to be cool, soft construction and minimal shoulder padding, and low price, since it's not very durable and will probably last only a couple years. J Crew's seersucker suit fit the...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    It's just a homburg. The side curvature on homburgs has varied over time, just like it did with bowler hats over the decades.
