    Interesting type of hat...

    I've seen this type of hat on multiple illustrations from 1890 to around the mid 1920s. I've been told it's a homburg, but I don't think so- at least not like any homburg I've ever seen. What is it? Are they common enough that there's a chance of getting one?

    The 1920 JAZZ SUIT

    It seems like a lot of the "Boardwalk Empire" suits are jazz suits. High and close button placement, rather long jackets, pinched waists and narrow trousers.

    "Rubberized Tweed"

    I've seen quite a few advertisements for overcoats made of a "rubberized tweed". Is this purely a golden age phenomenon, or does it still exist?

    Remember That $55 Belted-Back Suit ?

    I wouldn't be surprised if he was still just as blissfully unaware as when he originally sold it. :D

    The quality of a suit

    Yeah, I've been looking for some decent serge and haven't been able to find any that's even pure wool. Pretty lightweight, too. Forget about the thick ol' fabric. They just don't make it like they used to.:eusa_doh:

    Insane 'Holy Grail' houndstooth jacket

    Oh! Do you still have the double breasted norfolk suit? Those are a favorite of mine, I'd love to see a picture or two of it. Something like this?

    Insane 'Holy Grail' houndstooth jacket

    There's an incredibly nice belted knickers suit up on ebay. It's at around 600. Is that reasonable?

    The quality of a suit

    I've been hard pressed to find a good weight that isn't half poly.

    Do you have any pictures of it? I'd love to see it.

    The quality of a suit

    I'm liking serge the more I see it. It has a really nice weight and thickness to it, at least from what I can gather from pictures. Do you have any experience with old suits like these? Probably made around 1919, the "novelty suit" period. Sort of an experimental mix between the length of a...

    Was Dinerman's "Fray" the same hat as the one this fellow is wearing? http://i.imgur.com/BEkWV.jpg I've always liked the look of this type of hat. Very period look.

    The quality of a suit

    Hey Matt, could you tell me what type of fabric these fellows' suits are made of? I agree with you about the thicker suit = quality thing, and I was wondering if I could get a suit made like one of these.

    Why don't menswear companies just reproduce the aesthetic of the "classic" suit?

    Given the high demand for a vintage suit in high quality, and the amount they go for, it's a wonder why companies haven't started to recreate suits after the golden era style. I've talked to friends that aren't vintage minded, and they agreed that golden era suits are much better looking than...

    The 1920 JAZZ SUIT

    These guys are wearing jazzish suits, or ones at least from that three year era. What material are they made from? They look pretty thick.

    Is the shipping price on this coat reasonable?
