    14 Button Brown Wool Boot Spats

    I wear a UK 7.5, but my vintage grey spats are labled 9. I have a pair labled 11 (Bond Street, I think) that are actually too small. It might be better to go by direct measurement than size, just for those companies that seem to have had their own system.

    FS: Bowler, 3-piece suit, British battledress jacket, Crombie suit coat

    The trousers can't be let out any more, I suspect the jacket can't be either.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    That's a possibility with the canvas. I tried shrinking it out with little success, but I'll try again.

    How many suits do you own?

    1 double breasted suit 4 three piece suits 1 stroller 2 summer suits Plus 1 navy blazer, two tweed sportcoats, and some odd trousers for outfits. Which is to say, not nearly enough.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Many thanks, gents! herringbonekid, I will see if that will work when I fit the next one. It may have been a basting problem here, I'm not sure. It didn't show up until after I made the buttonholes and removed the basting. Sew and learn, the next'll be better.

    FS: Two neckties and three bowties.

    I went through my ties and found a few I don't wear much, so I'm making room. A Carrot and Gibbs bowtie: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320922566624?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 A green Tootal necktie, 1960s...

    I've got some more things up on eBay right now that may be of interest. A black bowler from Dunn & Co, 23" circumference, with a union stamp. Very good condition, though there is a slight dent in the crown, though not serious...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I finally finished the blue suit I started three (!) years ago. The trousers and waistcoat I made back then, the jacket was made over the last couple months. I had put the fabric away and just never got back to it. The trousers are the Eva Dress '30s pattern, the waistcoat is a copy from an...

    Moustache wax review

    http://www.superiormoustachewax.com/index.html So far it's working well, but I haven't subjected it to daily use and weather yet. Regarding Hndlebars' smell, to me it smells like band-aids or freshly-opened gauze. Not unpleasant and not noticeable after two minutes.

    Hounding for a Fox Umbrella?

    I have a steel tube Fox, and I like it a great deal. I had a wood-shaft Fox (not solid stick) which was also slender, though not as much, but it got holes in the canopy and I ended up selling it. I don't worry about sturdyness when walking since I don't put any real weight on it.

    Donegal Tweed Shooting Suit

    I like that type of pleated back like this is, with a yoke that isn't pointed. The pointed yokes just make me think of a western suit.

    Moustache wax review

    I've not yet tried either Foad or Natty Twizzle. I was going to get a tin of NT, but ended up getting a tin of Superior Moustache Wax on a glowing recommendation. Have you looked at the Handlebar Club forum? There's discussion of both those waxes, expecially Natty Twizzle.

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    I just had my pince nez re-glazed in a new prescription. It's the second time I've had new lenses from this optician, and the first time there was no problem, and my wife has had three pairs of vintage spectacles glazed by them with no problem. But this time they really put my pince nez...

    Moustache wax review

    Bounder has a better hold than Firehouse (both Dark and Wacky Tacky), but Firehouse has better lasting power than Bounder in wet conditions. Hndlebars is the best all-around wax I've used, stiffer than Firehouse but with its water-resistant quality. Both Firehouse and Bounder can leave a bit of...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    What is the wrong side/inside of the fabric? Is it double-sided fabric or is that interfacing?
  22. Nick D

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    It'll be part of a suit, though I'll wear it as an odd jacket, too. I made the waistcoat and trousers about 3 years ago and only just got around to the jacket.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I have the sleeves on, just need to finish the cuffs, lining and buttons. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the week.
