I think Jovan was referring to the Star Wars uniform with his comment on the color. -
My Pix of Leather and Linen Combo Specs
Nice! Do you have a larger photo of yours? I'm particularly interested in the waist treatment on the sole. It looks unusual.- Orgetorix

Ok. I thought I saw the ghost of one on the back illustration, but I guess I could be seeing things. -

Nice Polo RL linen DB suit that went for more than I was willing to pay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140099427049 -
the male silhouette 1922 -1941
You have to do something with all that cloth if you're going to go from a massive chest to a fitted waist and skirt like that. It's hard to tell, but that top left coat might even have a waist seam, something that survives today only on morning coats and tailcoats but was standard in the 19th... -
Just arrived: Pedigree Panama
Nice hat! Those puggaree bands are a great casual look. They're all over the pages of Apparel Arts, but it's hard to find them today. -

My Pix of Leather and Linen Combo Specs
The brown ones are nice, if a bit busy. The Marteganis would be great if they didn't have the odd squared-off sole at the toe.- Orgetorix

Show us your suits
I'm thinking of removing the belt loops on the trousers of that PRL suit I posted above. The pants are high-waisted enough that I can't see myself ever wearing them with anything but braces, and I like the clean look of a waistband without them. Anybody have thoughts on the matter? I would... -
Greetings and a request for advice
I'm certainly no expert, but from what I've picked up here it seems that wool felt is generally regarded as cheaper, coarser, less weather-resistant, and a great deal more prone to shrinking and tapering than fur felt. At that price point, however, I'm not sure you'll find a good fur felt... -
Clip-on Bow Ties
Yes. I had read somewhere, years ago, that button-down collars shouldn't be worn with bowties, but those partial to the American trad (prep, Ivy league, whatever) style have done it for years. I'd say that the very widest spread collars don't look good with bowties, and obviously tab collars...- Orgetorix
