    Post '30s belt-back jackets and suits

    Belt backs were pretty big in the 30's, right? Wide lapels too, if I remember correctly.

    What ever happened to single breasted, peak suits?

    I feel your pain, Mario- I usually have the same problem, but with the inverse.

    What ever happened to single breasted, peak suits?

    Especially from 1915 - 1925~, although the 30's suits definitely do bear mentioning. They look really slick, but appear to be pretty rare. Also, the cuts of the suits in Boardwalk Empire. Are the older cuts of suits made in some niche nowadays? Also, while they do still make single peaked suits...

    Sport jacket that doubles as a coat?

    This is pretty much what I'm talking about. Any pics? Sounds awesome! :D Also, the "Old Town" jackets are pretty much what I'm describing.

    Sport jacket that doubles as a coat?

    It seems like that in alot of early 20th century photos, people are wearing very thick, wool jackets that look like they double as a sport jacket and coat. Is it just a different, weave, or am I guessing correctly? Edit...

    Exactly my thoughts.

    "Overdressed"

    Yeah, that's why I'm so glad to have found the lounge. Thought I was the only one for a while. xD

    In Almost Every Picture #7

    Seconded. When it got towards the 70s, I started cheering her on to just make it one more year each time.

    "Overdressed"

    I feel like this all the time. The thing is, I don't -want- to dress sloppy. It's funny how the suit is always seen as the image of oppression and conformity, yet when you wear one you're the one that's sticking out. Why can't smart, clean dress come back into style? Why have we let laziness...

    Neckwear question

    The "modern" ones still look a bit off, which I've noticed in alot of photos. Are they cut differently nowadays?

    Turn of the century curved straw brimmed hat.

    Is there a name for this type of hat? I've seen it in a few photos from the early 1900s.

    Is this a cardigan or what?

    I mean, it looks like one, but it has a lot of differences. Are there any clothing manufacturers that still make these? I'm talking about the guy in the upper right.

    How do you date trousers?

    Well, I visited a modern clothing store and all of the pleats were reverse, so I'd say forward is vintage.

    How do you date trousers?

    I know you can date suit jackets by looking at the union tag, but dating pants is an issue I can't really figure out. Is there a union tag on pants as well?

    How old do you think this coat is?

    It has a light blue windowpane design and a skeleton lining. It's a men's coat, right? The only reason I ask this is because it can button on either side.

    Neckwear question

    Neckwear question

    Two things: What types of tie are the kids in this photo wearing? They're either really short and small, or skinny and flat-ended. http://www.shorpy.com/files/images/03705u.jpg What is the "manager" wearing around his neck and under his shirt? It looks like some kind of scarf, but I'm not...
