    Frock coats

    As a frock coat aficianado may I offer my two cents. (I assure you in person I am not as obnoxious nor as pretentious as I appear :P) I can personally attest the many wonderful qualities of a frock coat, it flatters any wearers figure due to its cut (waist seam and the panels at the...

    Toppers Unite

    Garret I applaud you for starting this thread, for me nothing quite beats a topper :eusa_clap Here's my contribution, its a German hat from a Stuttgart hat-maker, much more modern than all your fine examples I'm guess-timating late 30's or 40's? Dont really have a good photo of the hat, but...

    Tweed jackets: a manner of dressing them

    Thank you sirs for your replies, just goes to show my knowledge-base of country-wear is vastly limited. I'm still very much confused by the semantics of hacking, orfolk, shooting, country suits. The intent is to wear them about town, and whilst being 'improper' I feel in light of the times it...

    my new frock coats and cape

    Excellent coats sir, I was watching them myself, glad to see another lounger got them :eusa_clap Just a pointer, the first coat you have would be a morning coat with a three button stance, whilst the second would -from what I can observe- be an overcoat. A frock coat has square fronts at the...

    Renovating a top hat

    Hello all, I have just recently come into possesion of an older top hat, it still has considerable life in it, however, the shellac frame (I am assuming) has given a little i.e. sorta like a slight fold in carboards you find. I was just wondering, is there any method, short of getting it...

    Marette of Cologne?

    thanks, the american and british ebay is getting alittle too pricey, thus its time for expansion, the German ebay has a great variety of early 20th century silk toppers as well. Ah the joys of goggle language tools - just enough to correspond in a foreign language :rolleyes:

    Morning Coat Alterations??

    Esteemed gentlemen of the lounge, I have recently come into the possession of a vintage morning coat, it fits just right bar the waist (which is unusual considering my girth...), now my question is, is it wise to have it altered considering the amount (approx 4.5 inches) and the relative...
