Cuffed or Plain
OK, to clarify, I meant on PLAIN FRONT pants (NO PLEATS), which is more period-correct: CUFFED OR NO CUFFS.
I think for pleated pants, cuffs look better than plain, but for non-pleated pants, I'm not sure.
First of all, which is preferred for plain-front, cuffed or plain hems? Let's say 1920s-30s. Were both common?
Secondly, when doing plain hems, what should the stitching look like? i.e., how far between the bottom and the stitch?
Pics would help.
1. What is the best source for period-style (let's say 1920s-30s) suspenders?
2. What is the best way of attaching suspender buttons to your pants (I'm thinking about doing this to a pair of Bill's khakis)--inside or outside? I kind of like the outside idea (so the buttons don't press against...
Bill's Khakis - Original vs. Vintage Twills
OK, so I got the Vintage twill pants in the mail the other day. I noticed that the fabric is a bit lighter than the Original Twills. I now realize that the "Vintage" twill is 7.8 oz instead of the 8.5 in the original. Which is more period correct...
I've been looking into getting some washed M1 plain front Bill's Khakis, although they are not cheap at $135.
I was wondering if there are any other decent khakis out there besides Bill's that have a period flair to them. I'm trying to avoid the low rise pant epidemic.
Cotton military trousers?
Dinerman,
Any idea if these or similar trousers are available in cotton? It never gets cold enough here in Texas to wear those. Also, it would be nice if they didn't have the cargo pockets on the sides.
Linen workwear shirt with tie
Here's one of my recent acquisitions from J Crew: a linen workwear (they call it "camp") shirt with cargo-style pockets, shoulder loops (what's the official name for these?), and the button on the outside of your sleeve so you can keep your sleeves rolled up (see...
Workwear shirts with ties
Any links to pics of army shirts with knit ties?
Any links to pics of period 1930s knit ties? How are mine 1950s style? (I'm into the 30s look, not 50s).
Dinerman, I love your style. I guess I'm not that original after all. Do you happen to know if that...
I like this shirt, too. Link? I recently picked this one up off J Crew's sale page. J Crew calls them "camp shirts." What do you call them?

I like the shirt. Where'd you get it? This is the kind of shirt I was asking about in the "camp shirt and ties" thread. What do you call this style of shirt?

Camp shirts
Maybe I have the terminology wrong. Or J Crew does. J Crew refers to these as camp shirts routinely, as in "camping" not "campus." They're referring to outdoorsy, adventure-esque, military-esque shirts with features such as cargo pockets, epaulets, button on exterior of sleeve so...
What you need is a real bike...
An English 3-speed, that is, with a fully enclosed chaincase and of course mudguards. Add a proper skirtguard if you're a lady.
Here's my wife's 1940s/50s New Hudson:
