    First Belted back suit I've made

    I've seen a couple with patch pockets, usually only two with two welt pockets. I've seen a couple palm beach suits with four patch pockets.

    First Belted back suit I've made

    I'd be inclined to go with single-breasted with no lapels, personally, with nicely curved points. Maybe flaps on the lower pockets to go with the sporty look? Or add pleats to the front above the lower pockets

    First Belted back suit I've made

    Really nice. I like the contrast between the buttons and the fabric, too. Nice shaping on those hip pockets.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks gents, I might have gone with a cream shirt if one were in my wardrobe, but such is not currently the case. I wouldn't have gone with a check with this outfit, but might have if I wasn't wearing that sweater vest and maybe a wool tie.

    Dressed to the nines..

    There are several folk etymologies, none of which can be proven. The OED traces 'to the nines' as an expression meaning perfection to 1719.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Really nice, Quirrel! I like the grown-on bottom facing. I have a '40s waistcoat with only one small bit of sewn on facing, I'll have to put up a photo of the interior. Is the outer edge of the stay tape caught in the seam or only stitched to the fabric?

    Spats with black tie?

    I found some stills from the movie, and Fairbanks wears morning dress. It doesn't look like a hybrid to me, just a bit stylised and in dark lighting. Morning dress was common enough in 1930 I'm sure the artist was familiar with it.

    Spats with black tie?

    Spats are not worn with black tie, nor should they be worn with any evening formal wear. They're worn with daytime formal or business.

    I've put a few things up on eBay that no longer fit me. A couple pairs of trousers I've made, a vintage tailcoat, and a WWII British greatcoat. Morning dress trousers, 38" waist. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321047454287?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Oxford bags, 37"...

    Favorite Vincent Price film

    Of the list, and probably of all, Theatre of Blood. I love Vincent Price, he's one of my favorite actors.
