    Man I love this jacket...

    Not for that price. But its very nice otherwise; that weave/pattern is one of my favorites. I have thrifted Gucci coat in the same weave which i use all the time.

    Looking for the name: specific jacket style 1901- 1918 ish

    I wouldn't say its in the transitional phase; lounge suits as we know them today existed long before that illustration i posted was drawn. I'd call that a morning coat, it is closer to that than to a lounge suit, what do you think?

    Looking for the name: specific jacket style 1901- 1918 ish

    Are you sure? "It is longer like a frock or morning coat." "The coats always seem to have two button at the tails like a morning and frock coat." That is not how i would describe the lounge suit of that time. I found a picture. Is this what you are talking about?

    Looking for the name: specific jacket style 1901- 1918 ish

    I think I know what you are talking about, but i don't know any specific name for it. If I am correct, this type of coat is more of a 1880-1900 thing than edwardian. In all of my edwardian references there arent any pictures of it.

    How to Iron a Shirt in 3 Minutes

    I find that doing the whole "Kabbaz method" takes too much time and is mostly unnecessary (for me). I often wear waistcoats, and then i skip ironing the yoke, side seams and back of my shirts.

    Plaid Trousers and Matching Vest - Interesting Combo c. 1870

    For the 1870s this was quite common. Less so if it had been the 1890s to 1910, because then he would probably not be wearing a frock coat, but a regular suit coat. Here is a fashion plate (1878), showing a suit in a hefty plaid design:

    Formal Wear Primer

    It is important to remember that fashion is not rigid or logical, especially at this point when the dinner suit is in its first years. I have seen fashion plates from that time showing both brown, grey and white dinner suits. The most probable answer to your question is that someone started...

    Ebay- an adventure in clothing restoration

    Get out the starch first by boiling it or washing on highest temperature, then use the oxy-clean. It doesn't really matter what the stains are. That oxy stuff is brutal.
