    Show us their suits

    Cary Grant in The Woman Accused. Tweed suit with patch pockets and it looks like a double breasted waistcoat. I want to find this movie so that 1) I can see a Cary Grant film I haven't yet and 2) to get the details of this suit.

    Just too much stuff

    I don't have too much stuff, I have too little closet space.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    HBK, great work as always, and I like the in-use photos. The mannequins are fine (wish I had one!), but it's nice to see the suit and the fabric in action.

    Pomade

    1 No. 2 Yes. I think it works better on damp hair.

    Kromers

    I've got a grey Stormy Kromer. Around here half or more of the men and about a quarter of the women you'll see are wearing Kromers in the winter.

    Show us your Guns!

    No pictures right now, but I've just cleaned up my grandpa's Savage model 1903. It's a box-fed .22 pump, one of the few ever produced. I've narrowed the date of manufacture to between 1908 and 1914. It's a very simple design, not especially graceful but very functional. I just need to get...

    Pomade

    I got a tin of Murrays to give it a try, and so far I'm not too fond of it. I've been using Brylcreem for years, but I moved and I can't find any here. Murrays is easy to get, but I'm really missing my Brylcreem.

    40s Mens Sport Coat Sewing Pattern

    They did, but they're extremely rare. EvaDress has a repro pattern. This one looks nice but is too big for me.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Very good, even with the fit issues you've mentioned. Tailcoats have a reputation for being the hardest thing to fit. The meeting of the jacket and waistcoat hems is particularly nice. I wouldn't worry too much about machining the waistcoat, it's period correct though hand sewing certain...

    FS: 4 pocket watches, pipe, 3 lighters

    I'm starting another clean-out, and have a few things up on eBay. All the watches are running but with issues, so sold as-is. Ingersoll Triumph pocket watch with a black and white face http://www.ebay.com/itm/321104197184?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Smiths Empire...

    Detachable Collars

    Just keep using them, it gets a lot easier, until you can button the collar and tie the tie at least as fast as with a collar attached shirt.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Outstanding work again. This is phenomenal, look at that collar! Did you use a period draft? See, I'm jealous of how quickly you finish your work. This would take me much longer, I generally only have had a little time in the evenings to sew. Now I can't at all since I've moved and all my...

    FS: Handmade tie and bow ties from vintage pattern

    They have since been sold, but I have more of the fabric and could do up a couple. It would have to wait a few weeks, though, I'm in the process of moving house.

    Vintage in 1949

    This video shows the centennial celebrations in Marquette, Michigan, in 1949. As part of the festivities people dressed up in the style of 100 years previous, to them 1849. There was also a beard growing competition which my grandpa took part in (I think he's in this, too). The winner of the...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Yes, that would be me :). I've put up pictures of a lot of the things I've made from those patterns up in the Gents' Show us what you've made thread, especially the 40s trousers. I just found some fantastic wool, about 16oz, that is the exact colour and pattern as the artwork on the original...
