    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    . Gentlemen, here is a ‘mystery’ Shetland tweed suit: no tailor labels of any kind, though the plus-fours’ buckles have a British maker’s name and the waistcoat’s back buckle says “British”. The lining fabric is a very thick and slippery rayon satin, the kind I’ve seen on non-American...

    Wunderbar 1930s German Suit -- will go for a high price
