Hello all!
I'm an intermediate tailor, recreating and Edwardian cutaway suit. What they would considered semi-formal day wear. Not quite a morning coat, but not quite a sack coat. Business frock coat, English walking frock. Etc etc..
I have an Oxford grey twill in a rough texture at my...
Where in this godforsaken world can I find a good black plush top hat, in 7 5/8 or 7 3/4 for less than $300? New, repro , vintage. I don't care so long as it's not wool. Or am I just delusional?
I'm in the process of making myself a simple 1910s linen summer suit, and I'm not sure if I'll have enough fabric left for trousers. I can't get any more of this fabric, and I don't have a pattern for plus fours or jodhpurs (nor would they be flattering on me).
What I'm looking for is visual...
For sale: early 20th century Borsalino. US size 7 (despite the label pointing to a European size 7 which is a 7 1/8 I think, it measured at a US 7). Asking $65+ shipping.
Probably a '30s brocade, but I'm not sure entirely. Unusually stiff brocade but an absolutely gorgeous color in person.....red green and blue iridescent.
Looks like a crowned E
Looking for a tall crowned, wide brimmed fedora in a pale grey to replace an old beater of mine. The color of this one is a soft watery silver grey instead of that red-ish taupe grey you often see in vintage hats. Any leads? It can be a beater as well, so long as it doesn't have any major moth...
Looking for 1910s-20s style button boots. I'll accept zipper sides with faux buttons if the uppers are properly curved (not cone shaped like Stacy Adams). I can't begin to hope to find a pair of ones that button for a $130 or less (trying to do less) budget, but it's worth a try. Size 10.5-11 D .
Looking for good button boots. Unfortunately I only seem to find ones from England that cost a fortune, Stacy Adams, ones that are "handmade in Pakistan", or have a zipper up the back. Anybody know where I can get a good pair that won't set me back? I'm almost afraid to find out answers ..
Anybody ever hear of em? I have a hat (30s-50s?) Made by them and can't find a sainted thing out about that company. I know it's one of 18 companies in that town, though. Any info, and guesses as to the age would be appreciated.
Curious to see if anybody has a trashed but wearable (no holes or stains ok with some moth holes) 30s or 40s fedora in need of a restoration for sale. Let me know. I'm looking to refurbish it myself but I don't want one that's in TOO bad a condition.
Looking for a pair of brown 1940s wing tips or cap toe, brogued, size 10.5 or 11. Budget of $150 maximum. They can be in "poor condition" so long as they don't look destroyed, and won't fall apart or split when I wear them.
