Is the pullover vintage?

yes 30s-40s British (sleeveless).

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Awesome. Again, great outfit.

I really like that outfit, especially the sweater. And that tie is one of my all time favourites.

Cool outfit. Even cooler photomontage. Nice work putting it all together.

Looking good HBK.

I like your summer style HBK!
Would love to see a boater added!
I took coffee with some pals, here I am wearing a new window pane flanel suit (with fantastic DB waistcoat), and my Akubra homburg;

My friend's ridiculously adorable pup fit right in my hat!

thanks, i've tried a boater... didn't suit me AT ALL. works for some though, and i see it's making a comeback among the new sartorial generation.

Suit is recent, but captures how modern designs are aping twenties cuts. Thus, doing my best Jimmy Walker today - playing with a cooler, tonal palette.

Great suit what brand is it.

 

[PantherMkV]

HBK well it was worth a shot.
fiftyforfifty Cheers! Thats a Peter Jackson Orange label. I'll grab a photo of the DB waistcoat soon!
On the subject, this is an outfit I assembled tonight in anticipation of summer. This is probably my most authentic 1920s-inspired uniform. Tall collar, three-piece, boater and some glorious purple.

i was in Rye, East Sussex yesterday and there was a vintage boater in the window of a shop. it was the very low crown type as made famous by Buster Keaton (approx 2" crown).
i would have tried it on just in case, but the shop was shut !

Great suit PAtrick - fits you perfect and the shirt and tie combo is also beautiful. Would've personally chosen boots with less of a sole as its seems too big for the suit (proportions) but I am one that detests large, welted soles so I may be an exception. Well cool regardless (and a great sincere smile always helps too)

 

[Metatron]

Nice one Patrick. Suit Supply?

 

[Patrick Hall]

Thanks gents! HBK, Metatron, suitsupply indeed. It's their madison model - this suit is in a mohair/linen/silk/wool blend that is amazing for summer heat. Only complaint is that the fabric is so light, the trousers don't drape very well.

Claudio, you are correct - brown balmorals on a sleek last would probably look better than those chunky double-soled Alden short wings. Will consider that next time I wear it.

Today, I am wearing one of the 11 thrift store ties I got yesterday. This tie is made by Van Heusen, and is part of the Custom Collection. I am guessing it's from the late 1950s, or the 1960s. This tie is 51" Long, and 2" Wide. Now all I need is a 2" wide tie bar.
