    Brown tweed three piece suit of ambiguous vintage

    Those trousers look awfully slim for the 30's. Also the moderate rise of the trousers, and the lack of pronounced waist suppression on the jacket make me think it's older.

    Brown tweed three piece suit of ambiguous vintage

    That was my guess as well. A real steal if it is indeed from the 1920s.

    Brown tweed three piece suit of ambiguous vintage

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/178009868/ A brown tweed suit that is listed as hailing from the 1950's, but the jacket and vest make me wonder if it is significantly older than that. A coveted large size, and a steal if so.

    Turn of the Century Sack Suit

    They are US made - and Greenfield already does all their MTM trade. But, given that they already use Greenfield for that, it seems like they wouldn't herald clothes made by Greenfield under a new "Our Own Make" marketing push - but who knows. Wouldn't be the first time such obfuscation was...

    Turn of the Century Sack Suit

    I would be HIGHLY surprised if that is true. I'd guess "brought back sack suit" means the Ivy League/Trad dartless/ 3-roll-2 plain front slacked standard from mid century. They have, however, revived the practice of making their own garments under the "Our Own Make" banner. The pieces are...

    Bold Look, only German-made and from the 30's?

    1930's French 3 piece brown pinstripe High Stance 3 piece SB peak lapel suit

    Perhaps that also explains the lack of buttons for braces?

    1930's French 3 piece brown pinstripe High Stance 3 piece SB peak lapel suit

    Is it me, or did the starting bid just go up $100.00? The measurements are interesting also - How many people boast a 30 inch waist and a 42 inch chest? Mis-measured perhaps?

    Oxford Bags

    Luxire, We are a very particular bunch, so thanks for taking the well meaning criticism in stride. Whether your trousers are properly 'American Collegiate' or 'Oxford Bags,' I think they look very well made indeed. Thanks for trying to make these styles available on the marketplace.

    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    Howdy folks. Picked this tie up over the weekend. The seller was convinced it's 60's vintage - but I suspect it is older. Material could be silk, could be rayon, the lining is definitely silk. Anyone have an insight into the age?

    1920s suits

    Knit ties are often compared to socks, especially if they are made of wool. This looks more like knitted silk to me.

    1920s suits

    It is a mystery. It looks to me like a short knit tie that has been wrapped around the neck under the collar several times and the remaining short length pulled down and tight under the wraps?

    What are you wearing today??

    One of my students took this photo today for a photo blog, "Humans of Rice University."

    French Catalog Scans: Belle Jardiniere

    This reads like a paragraph out of Thomas Pynchon's epic weird alternative history of the 20th century, Against the Day

    Putting it all together

    I think matching pocket squares to shirts creates a much more subtle look than matching them to ties. And the peach and the brown look really good together - not a color combo I would have thought of. Beautiful!

    NOS 20's spearpoint dress shirt with unique texture

    Bet Luxire has no fabric that equals this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1920s-Enro-Mens-Britainnia-Broadcloth-Dress-Shirt-NOS-Never-Worn-/390654436122?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item5af4d1a31a

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Perhaps a long roll line is woven into the American zeitgeist. I just think there is something endearingly peculiar about it. I feel the same way about the 3-2 lapel roll on single breasted jackets. Though, I agree that whether it works or not on a double breasted coat would depend on the...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Ha - You conform to the majority opinion of non-conformists who are reacting to the slouchy conformity of modern dress. Now my head is spinning.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Guttersnipe, those suits are amazing. I particularly like the roll to the bottom button on the two double-breasteds. Makes me think of those Esquire illustrations that get reposted on various threads regularly. There is an insouciance about that look which appeals to me - though I think it is...

    1930s blue double-breasted suit with roped shoulders

    Check out the shoulders on this otherwise humdrum blue suit. The fabric looks like serge to me. Anyone care to quibble with the seller's claim for continental provenance...
