I assume that most of you already are familiar with this 1919 dated jacket that I've bought from HBK. The trousers and waistcoat are parts of this 1921 3pc suit previously owned by splintercellsz.

The button boots are belgian and I'm quite certain that they are from the 10s.

I'm very bad at dating neckties but since this one's a lot shorter than my 30s and 40s ties I guess that it might be 20s? I have no idea how old the detachable collar-shirt is. I've made the hat and the detachable collar myself. The collar bar and cufflinks are new.

Thanks. Yes, I shortened the sleeves a bit, other than that it's untouched. I've also rewoven the hole in the collar.

That jacket looks great.

This looks absolutely perfect.

Thank you very much.

have you made other hats or just this one ?
why did you decide on no ribbon ?

That's the only hat that I've made so far, though I plan to make more as soon as I get my hands on some more felt.

The ribbon is waiting in my studio and I mean to put it on some day, I just haven't gotten around to it. Same for the lining and sweatband...

I've been wearing bow ties recently:

The bowtie and shirt colors jazz up that subdued, somber jacket quite nicely.

We are having our first really cool snap of the season (in the mid 50s with a nice, brisk wind blowing), so I broke out my old trusty canvas work coat and flannel shirt with my overalls. The old hat has seen its better days, but is just the thing for a "working hat."

As always Big Man, whether dressing down or dressing up, you always dress with impeccable style. Bravo.

Very good, everyone! Please excuse that I hide my appearance, but I am concerned about my presence online.

This tie is a 1900s or 1910s tie that was delivered from eBay, yesterday. In-person, it is in fact a nice tie, if a little wrinkled and yellowed with age. It's now the oldest tie in my collection. What may be of interest is that it came from the state of Montana, and it has no labels. The suit is an early 1960s suit that was made in Yugoslavia. My hat is a late 1940s or early 1950s Stetson.
