Jacket Dating: Brown Double Breasted
G'Day All, The second jacket I'm trying to date is this double breasted, pin striped jacket. Now given what was written in the Dating a Suit thread, I'd guess to this be 80's, based on Dinerman's comments about the low, narrow button stance. What's unusual about this suit though is the... -

Jacket Dating: Locally Made Thornproof Tweed
G'Day Gentlemen, Given my woeful lack of knowledge of vintage clothing, I'm hoping that some of you can assist me in dating a few finds I made while trawling through the 'opp shops' (as thrift shops are known 'down under') in Hobart, Tasmania. I managed to eliminate many of the jackets based... -

Magnoli suit gone wrong - update
Or even if you do. I enquired about this, since I travel to Thailand quite often and could stop in for a true bespoke fitting(s), but got nowhere. Regards, - SteveN -

High Waists
Interestingly, I wanted to share an experience I had just yesterday. I had a suit made up many years ago by a Hong Kong tailor recommended to me by colleagues whilst working there. He did shirts/suits/pants for nearly the entire office. I still wear some of his shirts. I recently 'found' this... -

Is the suit relevant in your life?
Absolutely. I'm moving from a tech position into one of marketing/sales in a start-up. Not only is a suit and tie (perhaps not very well done, but worn nevertheless) de rigeur in Australia & most of Asia for sales positions, but the companies we're partnering with (the main one anyway, three... -

All the Fancy Buttons on Trousers
Here's another mystery (for me): what is the purpose of the inside button on trousers? The one that is supposed to button to a small tab of material on the other side of the zipper? I can understand that it's probably intended to hold things more snugly, but between the clip and button on the... -

Fabrics for Cold Weather Suits?
Well I wouldn't characterize this discussion as a 'confrontation', more like a rational discourse. In any event, it is off topic, so I'll leave with one question: how does one register for an IOI (Indication Of Interest)? Is it acceptable to post 'Wanted: X' in the Classifieds... -

1938: Length of Ties
Gentlemen, I was just looking through the 1938 Sears catalogue posted in the 'sticky' section (what a great resource BTW), and noticed this page illustrating two men in shirtsleeves and ties: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hab3045/2396529747/in/set-72157604410984660/ notice the length of... -

Waistcoat Pockets: Without Purpose?
Gentlemen, I have been following the 'Three piece suit' thread with great interest, and am (slowly) developing an idea of the perfect suit to have tailor made. While turning my attention to the pockets of the waistcoat I began to wonder what good these really are. Can anyone with a vintage... -

Fabrics for Cold Weather Suits?
While I make a rule of never upsetting my bar tender, I should point out that that's a matter of opinion. Many other forums have a specific eBay section, and they work quite well. Like always 'caveat emptor', but the sharing of market information is almost always a good thing. Regards... -

Fabrics for Cold Weather Suits?
Hmmm. I can certainly understand, and agree with the first point. I think everyone has had just about enough of spammers. To the second, you're under no obligation to share a find. Of course if, during your browsing, you run across something of interest to other members, but not yourself... -

Fabrics for Cold Weather Suits?
This is exactly the problem I have. I love to buy some 'real' vintage, but the search is difficult, time consuming, and potentially error prone as you 'hit & miss' on eBay (i.e. buying something that looks vintage to the untrained eye, but upon closer inspection isn't). Clearly, at least in... -

Dating a Suit?
Thanks Gentlemen, I've certainly been reading up on everything I can here and at the LondonLounge, but there's a lot of material to search through. I've never seen any checklists, but will certainly start searching through the archives this evening! I suppose I was hoping to start with... -

Hmmm. I guess the question then is what does 7 5/8 actually mean? I suppose if I'd actually done the conversion the other way 'round I'd have realised that it can't be the circumference in inches. So, just what does the 7 5/8 measurement actually indicate? Cheers, - Steve- SteveN

Dating a Suit?
Gentlemen, How do you folks go about dating a suit when viewing one on eBay? Are there guides for this? Is a peaked lapel a good indicator of the 'right' vintage (i.e. 30's & 40's)? For example, what vintage do you think this is? While it will be interesting to know the specific... -

Good Vintage Shops?
Does anyone have any recommendations for good vintage shops in L.A., Dallas, New York or Atlanta? I'm going to be in each of those cities for business in late October / early November and wouldn't mind checking some out. Cheers, - SteveN- SteveN

Size Conversion from Centimetres? Does anyone know how to convert from centimetre sizing to inches? I wear a 58cm in Akubra. Converting that to inches gives me 23". Something must be wrong... Cheers, - SteveN- SteveN
