An Appeal to the Yanks Around Here
I am intrigued by those trousers on the 1911 suit, Marc. I have a 1912 suit cut in the "oversize" fashion (extended shoulders, long coat, square swooping fronts, peg top trousers), and the trousers on my suit have the same exact features: Belt loops, side adjusters and suspender buttons where... -

This same thing also goes for fishtail backs, they are often sewn on separately. -
Double Breasted Overcoat with Double Breasted Suit or Jacket
No, no, the fewer rules the better, that's what I say. -
Double Breasted Overcoat with Double Breasted Suit or Jacket
Personally I don't think a look can be "saturated" with double-breasted-ness. Besides, the DB overcoat would not ruin any look if the DB jacket is visible, since the overcoat would be on the coat rack/over the arm or somewhere else not on your body. Except if, of course, you wear your DB coats... -
Double Breasted Overcoat with Double Breasted Suit or Jacket
Seems to me that the people over at Esquire/GQ have too many pages to fill. What could possibly be wrong with wearing a DB overcoat with a DB jacket? Besides, the jacket isn't even visible when wearing the overcoat! This "rule" warrants the :eusa_doh: smiley. -

The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits
A trouser consists mainly of four pieces of cloth.. When the fabric is laid out for cutting, instead of placing the pattern on it and marking out the four pieces separately, the cloth is folded in half with the right sides together. The cutter then marks the pattern, the back and front leg... -
The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits
Aha. If that is what he meant, I wouldn't call it attention to detail, as it would actually require more work from the tailor not to have the stripes match at the rear seam. -

This incredible vintage suit went for peanuts
Keeping in mind my bad-looking feedback score on the bay I am not disappointed. It would have been more shameful for me not to sell it to someone who it actually fits rather than keep it in my wardrobe to look at. (Which, admittedly, I did consider.) -

An M. Karlsson (which is a Swedish name), of Oslo. He is completely unknown to me, and doesn't appear in any of the sources I currently have available. -

Show us your suits
The suit is Norwegian. I have seen the double watch pocket feature on other Norwegian suits from the 60s earlier. The size is more like a 42 I am afraid; had it been 36 it wouldn't have gone to ebay. -

Show us your suits
A recent find among loads of vintage bespoke suits I got at flea markets over the past few weeks. None are my size, so they'll all probably end up on ebay. This one is among the nicest finds: (Apologies for the un-rotated picture. My blog has it the right way if you prefer that.)... -
The Red-Book Of Men's Tailoring, 1917
The tailor/cutter could take style cues from the patterns, but to make a suit like they did in 1917 the tailor would need knowledge not found in this book. This is really only a cutting manual.- Qirrel

Another "Holy Grail" suit up on Ebay- a full edwardian sack suit.
That makes sense. -
Another "Holy Grail" suit up on Ebay- a full edwardian sack suit.
The majority of edwardian/turn of the century suits I have seen on ebay and other places have been black, but this could be because black was seldom worn and the suits thus survived until today. The notion that black suits are only for undertakers, which seems to be all over certain internet... -
Another "Holy Grail" suit up on Ebay- a full edwardian sack suit.
I meant: If you went to a tailor in 1920 and asked for "a suit", no more specifications, you would not get this. If you said: "I want this old style suit", then you would of course get that.
