This thread from another board http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?86116-Full-canvas-blazers supports your view, and it's from several years ago-certainly would be more so now. -
British Spies Plotted to Spike Hitler's food with Female Hormones
His 'on again, off again' with heroin evidently caused his weight to swing like Oprah. But his pecs were decidedly flabby. (risking accusation of hijacking a thread with this interesting subject, it's hard to believe the fat junkie was ever a dashing, svelte fighter pilot. I have read... -

Tried on the Brooks Brothers Madison 1818 today. I think we have a winner. It's $550 but I was told it will be on sale mid-September. -

Photos suggest he had larger, er, 'chests', than Hanna Reitsch -

Thanks, I will see what's there tonight when I get home (work IT blocks ebay, with me in mind, I suppose) -

Evidently Hungry Hermann kept cadging tidbits off his boss's plate. Certainly looked most feminine of the inner circle. -

Thanks, not bad looking and certainly inexpensive. This compares with the Hilfiger ones available for similar cost. I am resigned now to go to $500-$700 because I can amortize the cost over the rest of my life. That leaves Oxxford out of reach but Brooks 1818, Press and Southwick at the... -

Well, Oxxford certainly seems to be the best OTR, by what I have gleaned online. But, sadly, no deals to make them affordable without a trust fund or eating Ramen for a few months. -

Checked JAB yesterday. Some looked OK but the cashmere looked like cat's fur. I stayed to pet-was asked to leave. -

OLDEST pleated belt-back suit jacket ever???
My feeble thanks. Submit this is a good example of the wonderful things you can see only on this site. Again, thank you. -

This might be a good option for the winter weight. I can wait on that one but need a summer weight for a South Carolina event in October (U of SC senior- daughter #2's sorority dinner/dance/drunk). I am afraid of ebay because of 'knock offs' sold as original label things. You mention... -

Are the Southwicks fused? I thought I had read that they were canvas. I am becoming resigned to a $700 bill for this but hope that will at least buy something non-fused. I know 'fused' is not always bad and I am sure I have suits, perhaps even some Brooks that are fused but I also have some... -

Yes, Press is often mentioned on some other boards that I visited but seems to run third to Southwick and Brooks Brothers. US market Burberry and Hart Schaffner & Marx are said to all be made at the same factory and just 'ok'. There is some question of fused interfacing on the lesser grades of... -

Part 2, then. For those of us who don't want to go for a bespoke one, what's the best natural shoulder blazer? -

Jos Bank Suit, suitable for interview or not?
The retirement plan was not what most of us want. -
Jos Bank Suit, suitable for interview or not?
That was also my understanding. I am an 'off the rack' fit, with their jacket (43L) and trouser (32 w) separates so don't have to go that route. -

Need a new blazer, well probably 2, one for warm seasons, one for colder. I've looked at Southwick, HS&M Golden Trumpeter and O'Connell's (like the doeskin for cold weather). Dann offers maybe too many choices but the Corbin ones seem like a good compromise between cost and quality. Has... -
Color of 1930s-40s dress shirts?

Vintage Reproduction Sports Coats
Marc is right. Sadly, the Peterman website, like their catalog, affects these wash drawings. I just bought the herringbone blazer and the chalk striped suit coat and they are very nice and look very much '30's. Nice material-Irish tweed herringbone and English-milled chalkstripe- and for the...
