Gentlemen, show us what you've made!
Pretty good. (It is finished.) Iv'e just been too lazy to upload the pictures. Besides, I began a new jacket not long ago and that is keeping me occupied. This is the finished 20s styled jacket, a pretty conservative cut really, no extreme waist suppression or swelled chest, but still much...- Qirrel

Can You Help Me Date This?
And the lining looks to be that glossy cotton I've seen referred to as "Italian" in period texts. That lining was pretty much out by the 20s. The sleeve, too, is of a cut that disappeared during the 20s. -

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
The previous owner of this suit must have put on quite a lot of weight: the inlays have been let out and the buttons moved. -

Some Norwegian 40s/50s/60s suits I have got lying around. Unfortunately not my size, so I'll have to sell them. -
Can You Help Me Date This?
This is a pretty common example of a morning coat as worn in the late 19th and early 20th century. Not very easy to pinpoint a year. A good approximation would be 1880s-1910s. -

The stripes in the pockets are from the fabric selvedge. The slanted shoulder seam was ubiquitous on suits in general during that period, and the farther back you go the more slanted they were. -
Formal Shirt
No magic happens at Barker's that you can't replicate at home. Their real advantage is that they, as opposed to pretty much any other cleaner, know how to prepare the correct starch solutions, and have special pressing devices for the collars which makes the process a lot quicker than if you...- Qirrel

Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?
The problem with the costumes for this series is that they were made by Martin Greenfield, who is not a costumer, but a modern tailor with modern working methods. You can't make a period accurate suit without also using period accurate tailoring techniques. Take the shoulders of Nucky's suits as... -
BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants
I'd say earlier than 1930s. It would have been rare to see a jacket without a front dart then, and even so in the 1920s. -

I have seen them referred to in magazines from the late 19th c. up to the 1960s. -

I do! And when were on the topic of such novelties as a raglan sports coat, has anyone ever seen a picture of a jacket with no shoulder seam? (I know they were made.) -

Gentlemen, show us what you've made!
Slow progress last two weeks, but I have now got the body finished. Next up: the sleeves, collar, buttonholes and finishing. The lining is rather ugly, but I needed to get rid of the fabric somehow.- Qirrel
