    What on earth to do with orphaned suit jackets?

    congratulations! I think linen might work - especially if it was fairly heavy - but a heavyish white cotton canvas/duck or cream flannel would be even better, I think.

    Grey Fedora Sought...Vintage Borsalino?

    Many thanks!

    Target Target

    I'd agree with Edward re. modern trousers - although it was quite useful in that the fact that the sight of me in our local shopping outlet trying to find a OTR suit with reasonably fitting trousers and failing was a major contributory factor to my wife agreeing that I should experiment with...

    Flogging white pique evening dress waistcoats and [shortly] vintage morning trousers

    How about a spare? ;) Alas and alack, I only just got them and have recently finished starching and ironing the first few. These are the better ones, so get in quick!

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    I have them on again today. Is it sad that I structured my entire outfit around my cufflinks?

    Grey Fedora Sought...Vintage Borsalino?

    Yes, I think you are right; I recognised many of the colour names and then further down they had my very own Knightsbridge: It's a nice hat, and I like the contrast band. However, Herald and Heart's "Mason" remains my favourite: It should retail for about £5-10 more that the...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    Just came today - appear to be some sort of shell - Abalone, perhaps? - with paste stone inserts. Marked "Perfect" with what I think is a patent number. Judging from the residue on the backs, they were probably gilded at some time. As you can see from the second shot, I couldn't wait to wear...

    Scans from ESQUIRE #1 - 1933

    Excellent! Thank you! Which to like the most - the 3-roll 2 white and blue stripe or the brown check three-piece with ticket pocket...

    Page Scans from Esquire Feb 1934

    I really enjoy these threads; thanks for your trouble! I like the d/b waistcoats illustrated very much.

    30s-50s British Suit Trouser photo resource

    Indeed they will. Here are a couple of (fairly poor) images of a pair of high-back trousers I had made by a Newcastle tailor back in 1998: I've since gone back to made-to-measure tailoring, and both my latest suits have at least one pair of fishmouth-back trousers with them.

    Watch Chains

    The buttoning is also possibly a factor of the cut of the coat; I have a 3-button morning coat which takes well to being buttoned in a similar manner. There is a rather good Shire Editions book about gentlemen's accessories which shews various methods of wearing a watch chain; there seems to...

    New vintage collars

    Many of the "proper" Jermyn Street shirtmakers offer them, in a limited range of styles, as well as UK legal outfitters such as Stanley Ley and Ede and Ravenscroft, and also the Chancery Lane branch of T.M. Lewin (where I have got several of mine.) I have a couple made for me by Ravi tailors...

    Adjusting Shirt Sleeves

    Unless you find that one of the sleeve lengths from the various RTW shirtmakers out there fits you exactly, the three options are (i) sleeve garters, (ii) have the shirt shortened (or lengthened*) either by the maker prior to despatch or by a seamstress on receipt, or (iii) go made to...

    Tie knots and tie pins (two topics not yet covered?)

    As to knots, I tend to stick to the Half Windsor (although I suspect that what I tie is actually, through cackhandedness, a reverse Half Windsor) with the occasional Four-in-Hand if I am dealing with a thick tie/narrow collar/short tie, etc. I occasionally affect a tie pin/stick pin, usually...

    New vintage collars

    Was in Hay-on-Wye this weekend and picked up these - a bit of a departure for me, but I thought that the forum might like to see them! I guess both are 1940s; the stiff collar has the CC41 mark.
