    So I Found These Pants Today

    Interesting find. They look very Edwardian, that's all I can add. Lack of belt loops and the suspender buttons would indicate they're very early pants, unless this is some top-tier repro.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Alas, it is mine! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1940s-1950s-Straw-Panama-Hat-Fedora-Mint-6-7-8-/253660177753?nma=true&si=UxgJob600N0SdtGAgqDNRv1wEUs%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Assuming this fits well, last long and is a breathable weave that will stand the test of New...

    Thank you, Gato. Regarding rarity--You think so? I find they're some of the easiest vintage articles of clothing to come across. If I walk into a thrift shop, and there's ANYTHING that predates the Johnson era, it's neckties. Usually hand-painted or bizarre wallpaper patterned 40's ties. Bold...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Impressive find. What's your source, just vintage shops?

    Pant Identification Please

    Judging by the pattern, cut of the trousers, and exterior suspender buttons, I would guess late 20's/early 30's. As for the fabric, I don't see how it could be anything other than wool.

    Boater faction!

    Good to know. Presumably, my Cadillac shoe & boot conditioner would do the job. For my summer hat, I settled for a 1940s Panama (unworn!), so I'll be sure to condition the sweatband often, as there will surely be more than enough sweat when I visit NY this year. It's fascinating how some of...

    natty spearpoint shirt made for the FL need info

    Can anyone attest to the quality of these shirts? People regard the $32 price tag as a sign of a cheap shirt, but i take that with a grain of salt. I'm thinking of ordering a couple of these.

    My First Experience at a Tailor--Not good!

    Really? The woman said making these fit would be a lost cause, which i was skeptical about, but i wouldn't think i can slim them down totally. I guess the only hurdle would be the cost.

    Not even the tie I care for, it's the spectators! Have any problems wearing them yet? Vintage shoes are high risk, high reward. Fellas, what do think of this deal: copped for $18, a 1930s deadstock Botany wool tie. Photos courtesy of ebay seller dapperhaberdasher, as i have not received it...

    This glamour boy has probably seen a lot of light on this thread, but I'll post these here anyway: This style looks very British to me.

    My First Experience at a Tailor--Not good!

    Does anyone know how many inches a tailor can taper pants? The bottom width of these are 9 inches, and a pair of 40's pants that fit me very well are 7 inches.

    Show off the sports coats.

    No kidding?? I never came across these listings! This makes me wonder, am I using the wrong search keywords? I don't even know. You struck gold, nonetheless.

    My First Experience at a Tailor--Not good!

    These are the only fit pics I can take at the moment. If they're too rubbish for y'all, I can retake them tomorrow afternoon. The best photography you'll get from a 9-year-old. I find them too long, which is why I wanted to hem them.

    Roll collar shirts?

    This is the best impression I could get as well. Not sure why those details would be written--those shirts still exist today, they're not anachronistic or really a call-back to the 1940's.

    My First Experience at a Tailor--Not good!

    That sounds awfully bizarre. So she took the waist in 5 inches? How is that even possible? Would that not throw off the proportions completely? I'm sorry to hear of your dismal experience. What's annoying is that the the best alteration shops around me will likely be in Portland (a lot of...

    What do you want to be buried in?

    If cremation weren't an option, I'd opt for white tie attire to be buried in. Top hat and silk gloves included!

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    A fantastic and very elegant watch. I'll never understand the hype for these gargantuan clocks makers market as "watches" these days. When I pass by the Costco jewelry, I can't help but be more fascinated by the women's watches (minus the bedazzled ones) because they're much less gaudy. Your...

    Show us their hats!

    Since we were forced to watch it in school.... Some Elizabethan hats from the 1968 Romeo & Juliet! Michael York as Tybalt Robert Stephens as the Prince Antonio Peirfedrici as Lord Montague Guess men never roamed the streets hatless even back in the day.
