Ahead of their time, alas
So Palm Beach cloth disappeared in the '50s. I've seen suits as late as the '80s or '90s with a "Palm Beach" label in them--I assume this is a maker's name? Are there any telltale signs of the real PB cloth to look for? -
Ahead of their time, alas
It was a blend of linen, wool, and mohair, I think. In another thread someone said the exact ratios of each were kept secret. In a thread at the London Lounge, someone said, Edit: Marc was quicker on the draw, again... -

Douglas, I think I enjoy watching the permutations of your facial hair nearly as much as all your different hats. ;) -
What do you use to shave?
Here is an ebay seller that always has stock of bulk DE safety razor blades. (Bartenders, I think this doesn't break the rules against posting live auctions, since this seller offers the same, non-unique items all the time. Correct me if I'm wrong.)- Orgetorix

Do people who carry concealed handguns usually carry them under the arm, at the small of the back, or somewhere else? I've seen both types of holsters, and I wonder which is more common.- Orgetorix

Vintage tux help
No, an evening tailcoat should have matching trousers with a double silk stripe, or "braid," down the outside leg seam, like this: Sometimes people confuse the evening tailcoat with a morning coat, which is the formal daytime equivalent. That is worn with striped, (or, less commonly... -
My Double Breasted Suit
More a statement of charity than agreement. Read it as, "Even if what you say were true, nonetheless..." I don't, in fact, happen to agree with Marcello. Marc Chevalier, Baron Kurtz, and Matt Deckard do indeed know quite a bit about fitting clothing, as do Will, Manton, yourself, and a... -

Tomasso may be the only member here who knows anything about clothing, but he's enough of a gentleman not to barge in and begin critiquing others before taking the time to gain their acquaintance. -
