    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Somebody paid $1750 for somebody else's bespoke shoes: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190374533155&ru=http://shop.ebay.co.uk:80/%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m38.l1313%26_nkw%3D190374533155%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

    Brooks Brothers and Hickey Freeman tweed jackets, 48R & 44R

    1. Hickey Freeman Customized blue/gray tweed odd jacket. Beautiful jacket, beautiful fabric. Fully canvassed, handworked buttonholes, horn buttons. The lining at one armhole needs to be restitched, but this should be a no-brainer for even a marginally competent seamstress, let alone a tailor...

    IC: Gorgeous Brown '40s Borsalino, 7 1/8

    No takers yet. This is one beauty of a hat, folks. I'm cursing my big dome over it.

    IC: Gorgeous Brown '40s Borsalino, 7 1/8

    A local shop near me has this beautiful '40s-era chocolate brown Borsalino for sale. I didn't get measurements (I was trying to snap pics without getting on the store owner's nerves), but it seems to be spot on for the 40s--tall crown and wide, overwelted brim. Tagged size is 7 1/8. It's in...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Nice shoes! FWIW, I use the term "suicide heel" to refer to an all-leather heel, especially one with a V-cleat. Combo rubber/leather heels are considerably safer, IMO.

    SOLD--Ralph Lauren Purple Label sportcoat, 42L

    This is a gorgeous RLPL Made-in-England (by Chester Barrie) black and cream houndstooth jacket. The fabric is 80% cotton and 20% cashmere with a fantastic hand. This strikes me as an extremely versatile fabric, wearable almost year round. Cut is fairly dramatic Savile Row style, with...

    What to wear with a chalkstripe jacket.

    Matching chalkstripe trousers. No snark intended; it's just extremely difficult to make a striped jacket look like anything other than an orphaned suit jacket.

    Yeah, the right-angle quarters are usually a sure sign of a converted DB. However, in this case I'm not so sure. The position of the patch pockets seems like it'd be impossible for these fronts to have overlapped enough for a DB button stance.

    Belfast-made Moring Coat

    They certainly were! And they may have been more common than you think (though not in the majority). They were more common in the early decades of the 20th century, and by the late '30s the single-button, peak-lapeled style had become predominant. Though, as these illustrations show, they...

    Does anyone know a U.S. retailer for Saphir Shoe Wax?

    They do carry it, they just tend to sell out quickly. I got some a month or two ago; you might email them and see if they have any or if they know when they'll get new stock in. Or order from Leffot.
