    Vintage A-2 offering I haven't seen before..

    Yes, thanks, Andy! I need to reply, but work's getting in the way...

    3-Piece suits today

    I imagine that was the last Whitsun that Sid and "Vyv" spent together for quite a while, given the date. And I guess they'd have had their work cut out finding quality clobber like that again for quite a while afterwards, too - unless they knew the 'right' (or wrong) people. I hope they met...

    A question for all...

    Top it off with a Swedish army peaked wool cap and the job's a good 'un. And maybe wear hose tops rather than gaiters (cheaper still) - and if you don't want to cut up a good pair of trousers.

    A question for all...

    I've just returned from a visit to London's premier specialist retailer of clothing-grade canvas duck, and cellular and dense-weave cotton - and hard-wearing garments made of same. What a treat to see the best in stylish adventure clothing all in one place! My favourite item was a cotton Norfolk...

    1940s-set Novels

    Blackout in Gretely, by J B Priesetly is a must. (Not to be confused with the "Blackout of Gretely", the famous earthquake-inducing garage rock howler from Gonn, the best band ever from Keokuk, Iowa.)

    Terrorism in the "Golden Era"

    I'd like to dispute both these assertions, but I can't due to forum rules... :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the reassurance. Perhaps you've had server problems? I've re-sent my email to your sales address, so maybe it'll get through this time. Remember that you can't send or receive PMs until you've had a few more posts... Cheers, CP

    How high the armhole?

    I understand the argument, but can't see why you'd be at all concerned about how the jacket fits when you're not wearing it... if you get my drift. The point is surely whether it's comfortable when worn. If it's more comfortable to work or sit around without a jacket on, that's another thing...

    30's Adam Homburg 7 5/8

    I can't believe i missed this. Great price...for the buyer.

    How high the armhole?

    Counter-question: do you want to be comfortable when wearing a jacket? Spend time in the British Isles and you might think different. I doubt the 2/3 fat statement. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you're fat or thin. The point is that the garment industry uses large/low armholes because...

    Aero sizing.

    There's already many posts on this subject. The answer's always the same: contact them... ;)

    How high the armhole?

    That's been the viewpoint of a couple of tailors I've asked to make me jackets with high armholes. My response was: I want to be comfortable wearing it, so I'm not that bothered about being perfectly comfortable while putting it on and taking it off... :rolleyes:

    Vintage A-2 offering I haven't seen before..

    I emailed them on 8 June but they never replied. I don't want to order from a company with no communication.

    WW2 jacket ?

    I'm with Kitty on this.

    How old is your waistline?

    High-waisted pants are also very good for a man who's not 'straight up and down'. With a good cut, they give shape at the rear and definition at the front — with the overall effect of not making you look like a sack of spuds, as can be the case with the belly-over-the-belt look, or the...

    Unworn Walk-Over shoes pre-1900 (?)

    I hasten to add that I'm no expert... :o

    Unworn Walk-Over shoes pre-1900 (?)

    There's wear on the heel and some light wear on the sole, plus creasing to the uppers. So they're not unworn.

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    The Vitoux biog is okay, but for insight I prefer Milton Hindus. I've not read L'Eglise, only the novels and non-fiction in English. I've a libretto for Voyage au Bord de la Nuit hidden away somewhere, but I can't remember where.* Here's the old misery's wikipedia entry. * Edit: I also...

    LOUIS FERDINAND CELINE

    Yes, that's it. Céline had little time for the sensibilities of the 'Vrench' (as the word he uses comes out in at least one English translation), least of all concerns about linguistic and literary heritage, formalism of address and professionalism. It's still regared as impolite to throw...
