    LUDICROUS low price: 1940s-1950s Greek sports jacket size 38

    I never thought I'd see one of these again. I've owned an identical one in the past (too small for me) and I assure you it is a lovely jacket, with a great statuesque shoulder construction. Deadstock as well, and a ludicrously low bin...

    Sports coat as outerwear

    As it gets colder and I start donning my tweed jacket, I find that it has one drawback as outerwear, and that is that the V lets in the cold wind, particularly when cycling. At a time when tailored clothing was worn for every occasion, this folding of the lapels seems to have been quite common...

    On synthetic blends

    Like many here, I generally avoid clothing with synthetic fibres, unless it is a small percentage in a blend. But I don't want all my clothing decisions to be dictated purely by nostalgia. I recently picked up a pair of herringbone trousers at the charity shop, 50% cotton 25% viscose, 25%...

    Vintage vintage

    Was there an equivalent of today's vintage in earlier times? Would a 'vintage' man in the 1930s be someone who wore a bowler hat for example?

    Military Surplus fashion in the 1940s and 1950s

    Military clothing has always influenced civillian fashion. But historically, military clothes worn in a civillian context, virtually unchanged from their original form, is something I associate on the one hand with people who wore them out of necessity, for example in the chaos that was post war...

    Pensioner Chic

    It always makes me smile when I see older gentlemen keeping the vintage flame alive. I saw a few cool looks this morning: Jeans, sports coat, polo shirt with large collar and zip, flat cap. A man who I see frequently who wears turned up jeans, and either a leather jacket or a tweed coat...

    'Working class hero' movies

    In total contrast to the current trendiness of Gatsby and friends ;) I seem to enjoy old movies about working class men having moral/existential upheavals. Taxi driver is probably the best of all, but keeping it 1930s-1950s: On the Waterfront is my favourite, but I have also enjoyed films with...

    What is your raincoat of choice?

    Thought this would be a good thread right now, It is Spring, it is rainy and I am thinking about raincoats: What do you use? I like macs but don't want the Columbo association. (I know there is a trench coat thread but I thought a broader thread would be a good resource as well) I use a Czech...
