    Show off the sports coats.

    I know that shop on Holloway Road, I always thought it was a CND owned shop. There are some gems to be had there too- I found a great trench coat there a few years back, as well as a beautiful brown leather briefcase.

    I've been a subscriber for the past 3 years or so. Recently read the latest book "Am I A Chap?" and loved it.

    What was the name of the tailor in Sheffield, Matt?

    Long Haired Lyndon

    Johnson's other curious habits included urination in public, and when confronted, respond with "have you ever seen something this big?". Also, he came up with the best chat-up line ever- "this is your president. Move aside".

    BBC News - Boutique business: can a men's clothes shop thrive?

    At those prices? Best of luck to him, but unfortunately I won't be able to be a patron.

    Although one thing I've just noticed, Matt the Chap, black shoes with a tweed suit? And in the country too? Standards harrumph.

    determining a suit's age

    Speaking of weight, is it not likely that there were many lighter weight suits in the Golden Era, but they didn't stand the test of time so well as their sturdier cousins?

    Historical Spending on Clothing - Interesting stats

    My grandfather got a bespoke suit in the mid 1950s for £21, which was about 3 weeks wages for him on an average salary.

    U.S. Navy of 1915

    So of course, the Navy decided to use white uniforms.

    Britons, which county do you like better?

    Buckinghamshire, followed closely by god's own country of Yorkshire. Out of the two you gave, Oxfordshire. Staffordshire lies in too close a proximity to Brummies for my liking.

    Motorcycle Officers

    I've noticed a change in uniforms over here too, moving away from the shirt and tie to combat trousers and a black polo shirt. Apparently it gives them more freedom to move or something. Although curiously enough, it's only the more rural constabularies where this occurs. Forces like the Met...

    Why the huge disparity between Soviet and German losses on the Eastern front?

    As everyone else said, the Soviets pretty much just threw hordes of infantry at the Axis and relied on sheer weight of numbers to succeed! I also see in that photo collection that they've put in the 'retouched' pictures of the soldiers on the roof of the Reichstag, omitting the many...

    Man I love this jacket...

    Man I love this jacket...

    Although out of London fully bespoke suits cost a hell of a lot less. Savile Row is more expensive than most. Although the quality is better at a shop on the Row, the main extra cost is increased rent and the 'name brand' factor. There is a tailor in London, who isn't on the Row and whose name...

    Fedora hats are rarely sexy - or so does she think...

    What a vacuous waste of internet space. Reading the comments underneath is no better- I now feel as if I would rather fire a nailgun into my eyes then read any more of that drivel.
