Nice look and great shoes in that photo...are they vintage?

 

[Claudio]

Thanks R, nope nothing is vintage except for the Fedora, the rest is my own design

 

[Mean Eyed Matt]

I love that shoes, too! Custom-made?

New member here. I've been into classical menswear for a couple years now. I hope to learn a lot from this community. Here are some of my bespoke suits.

These are excellent suits and capture the look well. I have never used Steed but their craftsmanship has always impressed me. Are your suits detail in the modern idiom or of the period? I am thinkimg of say inside pockets (****** and ticket only), trousers, flap fob pocket and one flapped back pocket, button fly?

A bit blury but you get the picture: chalk check flannel 2 piece suit

Been while so here it goes ... breaking out the off white flannels, spectators and Panama and looking forward to the linen in a few weeks! No vintage, a mix and match of early and late 20's influences

Hangin' out at Ruby's Diner.

Beautiful hats, Gentlemen! Quick question; that one on the table; is that a Dobbs? It looks near identical to my Jet 707....Just curious. Great get ups on the both of you!

Thanks, I'm so happy that I got a bow tie in the exact same color as my Mallory 15!:cool2:


BTW-What do you think about this coat? It's new, but I think it has a very nice vintage look to it. 100% fine wool and the color is described as a grey-blue. Which pants would match with this one?

I'd wear that with oatmeal, or tan, or dark English tan, or chestnut brown large HBT trousers, something lightweight though, no more than 8-10 oz., with a bit of a sheen would really suit it. some hounds-tooth or pick and pick trousers in dark brown alternating with taupe or white would also look great, especially with an ivory shirt or a muted off-white striped shirt. Seriously needs a pressing and a steaming Sir!

That tartan suit is the craziest thing I've seen in a while, but it's great. This is one I would wear now that I no longer care what people think. I'd probably go to a job interview in this.

Claudio, great ensembles, I like the small details like the angled ****** pocket. It is something I often find on some of my vintage British jackets, but which seems to be frequently overlooked today.

Michael, that suit is something else. Reminds me of something the Duke of Windsor inherited from his father:

It also happily seems to lack something I dislike about 1970s tailoring: narrow, hard, roped shoulders. This one has the more classic, softly contoured shoulder construction.

I got a new suit the other day and wore it to church for the first time today. It's a lightweight, tan wool. I had it made for me by Ravis Tailors, who have been making suits for me for about 15 years now.

Outstanding suit Big Man and great, as always, to see posts from you.

I have two small (and unsolicited) suggestion. One is that the trousers are a touch too long (the big break on your left leg along with the puddling at the shoe adversely effects the drape of the leg - the right leg is not as bad but still a pretty big break - the difference is either that they aren't evenly tailored or you have them hitched on your waste at different levels). Since I'm already deep into the unsolicited (but sincerely well meaning) world, if there's material, a cuff might help as it would add weight at the bottom which can be needed to help lightweight material drape properly. So I'd shorten and add a cuff if possible.

My other modest suggestions is you might want to shorten the sleeves of the suit jacket so that a little shirt cuff (1/4") shows as that gives a nice crisp and classic look to the outfit. Even if you are wearing a short-sleeve shirt now, just eyeballing it, the suit's sleeves are on the long side.

But those are just very tiny quibbles (and the easiest of all alterations) in a suit that overall looks fantastic on you. The shoulders and overall fit are great. Enjoy and wear it in good health.

Points well taken. I'll try and make corrections as noted. Thanks.
