    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    The lapels seem narrow for the date on the label but it's possible they were shortened at some point later, a regular practice to keep old jackets from looking dated. Either way, a beautiful tweed, and a great find!

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks gents! HBK, Metatron, suitsupply indeed. It's their madison model - this suit is in a mohair/linen/silk/wool blend that is amazing for summer heat. Only complaint is that the fabric is so light, the trousers don't drape very well. Claudio, you are correct - brown balmorals on a sleek...

    What are you wearing today??

    Suit is recent, but captures how modern designs are aping twenties cuts. Thus, doing my best Jimmy Walker today - playing with a cooler, tonal palette.

    Do you wear a suit everyday?

    I wear a suit 5 days a week, vintage-casual on the weekends. Sometimes hats, sometimes not. No dress code for my job, beyond the one I make for myself.

    Spear point collar shirts

    I have ordered every one of my Luxire shirts this way. The detachable soft collars work fine. Personally though, after my first couple I pulled a half inch off the collar points.

    What are you wearing today??

    30's Palm Beach suit today, from the Boardwalk Empire wardrobe sell-off. Tie is deadstock 30's as well. Spearpoint collar shirt is from luxire. Hat-tip to HBK for giving me the idea of having a shirt done in micro-gingham.

    Spear point collar shirts

    I've ordered several white shirts from Luxire. Go with the white warzone oxford. It's formidable, but softens with washes.

    Chester Cordite - anyone had experience with them?

    The lapels look great on the double breasted jackets - but I find them a bit overwhelming on the single breasted ones. I also don't like the combo of a high closing vest and low V on the jacket. Reminds me of a late 40's Burton suit I own.

    Great jacket Broccoli! The back is amazing.

    The Ultimate in Vintage Menswear

    For "sedentary" men. I hear that is a growing problem in the age of digital commune. Maybe these will come back in style soon.

    The limits of dry cleaning (or how a cat might have ruined a favourite shirt).

    oxygen bleach works wonders, and is color safe. Give it a six hour soak, and I expect the stain will come right out!

    Morning Dress for Church?

    I am familiar with the wardrobe wars you describe in your post. There has been that kind of emotionally loaded bifurcation in every parish I've served - blazers/suits vs. casual dress. Speaking for my Church in particular, there was a time just beyond living memory when morning dress was...

    1940's? Blue Harris Tweed Sportcoat 38R-41R

    Lapel looks like it wants to roll to the second button, as well.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    lovely suit Dostioffsky. Congratulations!

    Can someone identify this suit?

    Looks 1980s to me, though it is hard to tell from those pictures. Definitely not bespoke, as it has a factory label. Sometimes tailors like "Vincent Custom Tailors" will do their own made-to-measure service through a factory - several places in my town do that with Martin Greenfield or...

    What are you wearing today??

    They are great. I'll bet Luxire could reproduce them for you, if you were so inclined. I've heard good reviews on their collar-copying skills.

    What are you wearing today??

    TT I love those rounded tab collars. Luxire creations?

    Show off the sports coats.

    Man, TT those are some great finds. The cord especially fits you very well. That tweed looks a lot like the tweed suit I posted awhile back. Any info on the maker? Can't wait to see the silk jacket!

    Show us your British suits

    I think the jacket could use some waist suppression. The lapels could stand some work. The seat of the trousers seems really low, compared to the length of the jacket. I don't know, there is some '70's-does-20's/30's stuff that's passable. But frankly, I'm not sure any amount of alteration will...

    Another great find, Fastuni. The jacket REALLY pops with those new/old buttons!
