    Johnston & Murphy

    Almost certainly corrected grain. If you save your money a while longer and keep an eye out for discounts, you can get a pair of full-grain AE Park Avenues for not much more.

    Late '30s Gray tweed sporcoat, 39-40R

    Price drop, again, to $35. This would make somebody a great jacket for knocking around or a project jacket for do-it-yourself patching/mending/reweaving.

    Best Collar For Neck Height

    Only once, so far. I was in a good friend's wedding back in July, and we all wore white tie. I fear I may never have another opportunity, though I hope that isn't true. I also own full morning dress, which I haven't had a chance to wear since my wedding nearly two years ago.

    Best Collar For Neck Height

    Me in the second collar: My neck is of about average length, and I was comfortable in it. It definitely makes turning one's head more difficult, but I wasn't trying to do calisthenics in my white-tie rig.

    Late '30s Gray tweed sporcoat, 39-40R

    Late '30s-early '40s black-and-white twill-weave tweed jacket by Style Mart. Single-breasted, two buttons with besom pockets and three sleeve buttons. No vent in back. Skeleton lining with taped seams and generally nicely-finished interior. Typically great, high armholes. It's not mint...

    1940's Jacket?

    If your London coat had its lapels altered, they may well have cut off whatever buttonhole might have been there in the first place. I agree that the shape looks terrible. The buttonhole placement--low and inboard--is a feature of a lot of Oxxford garments, and it's the one thing about...

    1940's Jacket?

    How wide are the lapels? Is the lapel shape/width part of what you think was altered in the '50s? Also, does it have a buttonhole and where is it placed?

    1940's Jacket?

    First, observe how narrow the lapels are. Second observe the shape around the notch: the top part, at the end of the collar, is pointed. The bottom part, the tip of the lapel, is rounded. This is, as far as I have seen, distinctly late '50s/'60s. One sees it a lot in films and photos from...

    JoS. A. Bank Sale thru Thursday 11/13/08

    Not to burst anyone's bubble, but JAB has a sale going on about 98% of the time. Regular price is a meaningless concept to them.

    FS full lace up brown leather boots

    You'll get a lot more interest if you're able to post a photo. People want to see for themselves what condition items are in before they buy.

    AUCTION #121: Schoble - Supreme - XXXX - Size 7 1/2 - C0000228859 - SOLD

    Just wanted to note that the gray-colored Schoble XXXX Supreme I just won is outstanding. Felt quality is excellent. I won't be bidding on this one (though I'm tempted), but someone will get a great hat.

    My ankle boots (lousy weather here, so they needed a polish)

    Very nice. I particularly like the Indy boots and Chelseas. I take it you've been using the Barbour treatment for at least three years on all of them with no detrimental effects? Does that affect the color at all?

    What are you wearing today??

    Aren't you glad to be in a part of the country now where the weather actually allows you to wear coats? ;)
  23. Orgetorix

    What are you wearing today??

    No biggie. Chesterfields and covert coats both usually have the velvet collar. A covert coat is made from that twill fabric, usually tan in color, and has swelled edges and several rows of stitching around the cuffs and hem. A Chesterfield is usually black, navy, or charcoal, with a fly...
