    1930s waistcoat

    Yes, I'd say almost certainly from a 3-piece suit.

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    The same is true in English, but parasols are relatively rare now.

    Show us their suits

    Thanks, FFL and TT, I remember that suit now. I didn't remember it being 4 patch pocket, which is why I thought it was another suit. Now I really need to find a copy of Black Cat (because it's a Lugosi film I haven't seen and to see the suit!). I'll be on the lookout for fabric, too.

    Show us their suits

    Bela Lugosi, looks like sometime in the '30s. If anyone has more photos or info on this suit I'd love to know, I'd like to do a repro of it.

    Alright Pipe Smokers. It's the question that has destroyed countless friendships.

    When I use a lighter I use an Imco Slimline (now owned by Esbit). About the size of a Zippo, fits nicely in a vest pocket, and the removable fuel tank is very convenient for pipes. Lights more consistently than my Zippo and the fuel seems to last longer. I like the vintage-like look, too...

    Pomade

    I used original Brylcreem (alone) when I lived in the UK, but when I moved back to the States I switched to Groom and Clean, mainly because it's a couple bucks cheaper. Good stuff, though I want to try the Brylcreem over here to see if it works as well.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I have a question on seam finish that I'm hoping someone can help with. I'm making an outfit for my wife from a 1950s pattern (New York 1403), which has a shirt, blouse, and bolero. It will be an unlined summer outfit, with the skirt and bolero in cream and burgundy cotton gingham. I think...

    Lots of handmade bow ties for sale, two silk brocade

    I have a bunch of bow ties that I made, and I've never gotten around to posting them. All are silk, with a ribbon back and slider to keep bulk under the collar minimal and allow precise adjustment. The yellow and blue square patterns are lightweight modern tie silk. I also have a couple bow...

    Monocles.

    I do, and there are a few others, I think. Dr. Doran, who started this thread, also does. I also have pince nez for when I'm sitting and reading a book or something.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I've seen some pictures and videos of modern tailors sitting cross legged, though certainly not a whole workroom up on the bench!

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    I have a copy of an old tailoring book, and it says the tailor should sit cross-legged, even though the beginning tailor would find it an odd position. The second-to-last guy looks like he's wearing bits of waistcoats tacked together.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    I just finished these houndstooth trousers. They are from the Eva Dress 1934 trouser pattern, which I haven't used in years. I've gone from a size 40 to 32, and at that size they're no longer the bags they are at the larger sizes, but still fairly wide and straight legged. 13.5" rise and a...
