    Baby Blue Burton Belt Back Suit

    Flo, there are already photos of the suit here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?53383-Show-us-your-British-suits&p=1438941&viewfull=1#post1438941 i believe the auction was ended by a buy-it-now being added, so Barmey may be the buyer.

    Baby Blue Burton Belt Back Suit

    Fastuni, probably more like £500, but you never know what can happen on ebay when bidders get carried away. TT, i would have thought it was too small for Barmey. the measurements read as 34-35 chest maximum.

    Baby Blue Burton Belt Back Suit

    yes, it seems an odd choice to close it when it might have gone up to the £800 area.

    On the matter of detachable collars

    by 'tunic' are you talking about a collar-less shirt that has a stand ? (sometimes called a 'grandad' shirt in the UK). if so, a competent sewist should be able to remove the collar from the stand of one shirt and insert it into the stand of another. (the stand is the neck-band part which...

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    i admit to never having had to consider what employers would make of my dress sense (having always worked in a 'creative' industry). i dress according to what i like which -at present - will be something between 1918 and 1952. ;) i find it hard to believe that an employer would get worked...

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    there is much photographic evidence of men going tieless with suit or sportcoat in the U.K. in the 20s - 50s period, but always with the shirt collar worn over the jacket, which seems to alter the overall appearance into one that doesn't look as if you've just taken your tie off:

    Is British style not what it was (or maybe never was in the 1st place)?

    Bruce, what you're defining as a 'British' style is in decline certainly, for reasons already mentioned, and has been in decline since about 1958, despite the spike of interest in tailoring in the last ten years or so. however, you need only wander down Savile Row or Jermyn Street to see...

    BruSwain, i'm slightly baffled as to why you're singling out British men, when style the world over isn't what it used to be. are you one of those Americans who thinks that if you visit england it will be like stepping into an episode of Poirot ? ;)

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    depends what weight you require i.e. what temperature you'll be wearing the suit in. the Dugdale range you linked to is 13-14oz, whereas the Fox is 18oz. personally i'd go for the 18oz every time, but i live in chilly old England and don't wear wool suits in the summer. i also think the pattern...

    Men's File -A Modern Magazine Tracing the Roots of Style

    i haven't seen the book yet but apparently it contains articles from the first four issues. there's a photo of me taken at Goodwood '13 in the new issue 11. also, smaller photos of Barmey and ex-lounger Salv on the opposite page. the copy i have doesn't have the Clutch half so i still haven't...
