    Show us the LAPEL PINS

    If I may offer my thoughts on the 'To Hell with Hitler' pin. I think these pins came out mid-war when the full terror of the regime in question was not fully understood. So while of course people were being drafted, dealing with shortages and even paying the ultimate price, it seemed like a...

    Show off the sports coats.

    I like your style. Particularly the loden combined with that jumper. The short length and wide waistband makes me think 30s-50s.

    Great suits Michael, especially the tweed. Like a suit of armour! And the colour is very vibrant.

    Herringbone / Flannel/ Fleck Trouser Recomendations

    http://www.oldwoogies.eu/categoria-prodotto/pants/ This Italian brand seems to have the cut of the 40s-50s down with a good selection of fabrics, though the site hasn't been updated for a while, so I would email them first. These guys are also apparently quite good, though they use fabrics of...

    Hello all, you might have heard about SJC, it's a brand drawing inspiration from the vintage style we love, using high quality materials sometimes re-woven from old originals.

    Excellent Claudio, I like the way there is a consistency across your looks even though you are incorporating elements from different eras.

    Claudio, great ensembles, I like the small details like the angled breast 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...

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    Stunning, Max. The cut of those 40s-50s British tweed jackets is unmatched. So flattering. Maybe a bit more contrast with the trousers though? Other than that, you wear the look well. Michael, cool outfits. Particularly like the Norfolk. What are those chunky soled shoes? Pretty cool.

    Bulletproof Suits ?

    Presumably we are talking about a security - high status context. I didn't even know these existed before watching Jon Wick. o_O

    My first vintage suit

    I think Fastuni is right. I have a '52' dated Burton jacket with the same style of stamp and label.

    Finnish Mugshots from the 1920s and 1930s

    Thanks for sharing! It looks good, personally I don't like the way rollnecks feel, too stuffy, especially indoors!

    Finnish Mugshots from the 1920s and 1930s

    The lack of tie wearers is noteworthy. Even the scruffiest in the Australian mugshot archive wear ties.

    Beautiful jacket. You know you spend too much time searching for vintage when you remember other people's finds being on ebay!! Vintage Everyday, honestly, don't hold your breath. I am a size 41 and 1930s stuff is hard to come by. It's either a matter of searching for hours to score one...

    Interesting stuff. Does the surplus place have those wool sweaters with the blue line across the chest?

    Best Value for Money Piece of Clothing

    Value is synonymous with tweed... I've found so many vintage ones where the buttonholes are fraying, the sleeve lining is separating, but the rest of the jacket is pristine. A few repairs later it's good for another couple of decades!!
