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 wanted to show my summer outfit from the Manhattan Vintage Show the other day as technically my soon-to-be suit is just the jacket worn as a sport coat at the moment. I made the jacket using drafting manuals from 1916-19, and the detachable collar, necktie and cuffs. I found a pre tied collar...
Dusting off this old thread to show my summer outfit from the Manhattan Vintage Show the other day. I made the jacket using drafting manuals from 1916-19, and the detachable collar, necktie and cuffs. I found a pre tied collar stud tie that was in abysmal shape and picked it apart for the...

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.
I will once I see if it fits! If it doesn't, there's no point in keeping it....I'll know in a month at the latest. Thank you for the help, by the way. You have a fantastic collection and I'm grateful you could share your knowledge
I took a risk at $24 on what's either a 7 US or a 7 Punti early 20th century Borsalino. It appears to be Punti. Out of Romania, and it appears to have been sold there originally, too.
Anybody ever see a dark green hat from the 1920s or Teens? Like, DAAAARK emerald green, not brown-green or grey-green? I've only ever seen newer ones that color, but I'd like to know for certain.
All the time, I see 1920s fedoras in an almost St Patrick's Day green in adverts from the era. But I personally have never seen one that color in real life. Has anybody seen a dark green hat from the 1920s? (I HAVE seen some from the '40s-'50s but not yet the '20s)
My phone is stupid and I cantc auto correct a typo on this website without it turning to gibberish .and I accidentally pressed send early . I'm talking about suits
