    A Detachable Collar Question

    Indeed. I follow the 1/2" rule but I find that collar sizes 1/4" up (not many of these about, of course) do equally well. As Sir RBH says, it also depends very much on the maker, with some makers' shirts coming up true, some small and some large. Personally I favour T. M. Lewin, even...

    Tips for tying a tie when paired with detachable collar?

    Exquisite Panama Briefcase

    Very handsome, thank you for sharing! As someone who uses a briefcase every working day I do appreciate a good one when I see one. This now has to be one of my favourites, alongside the pigskin suitcase-style offered by Papworth.

    Novice questions: Christys/Fed IV/Garrison

    SF, as a Wales resident myself, I would be intrigued to know what retailer they are recommending? I used to use Top Secret Hats for my "Swerford" modified Adventurers but unfortunately they stopped taking orders for these a few weeks ago. I suspect that if Christy's are doing customisations, it...

    1930s dinner suit

    I bought rather a fine vintage one there once, and one day I shall fit into it again... No label but I assume made locally. 6x2 d/b with high set broad peaked lapels in a red and white stripe on blue.

    Military style hair brush

    As a Kent Army user myself, I think it is something about distributing the hair's natural oils evenly from the base to the tip. I also have the impression that plastic bristles are generally less kind to hair.

    30s or Earlier British Stroller

    I was lucky, I managed to pick up a very similar coat and waistcoat for £5 in a charity shop in Yorkshire and then earlier this winter I picked up.a suitable pair of trousers, again for £5. Such things do seem to be becoming increasingly rare, though.
