    Show us your scarves ...

    i don't think those heavy knitted scarves are for 'evening' but rather for everyday / sports use. i have a very similar one and wear it a lot on cool summer days: definitely a man's scarf.... they were often worn by thugs in the 20s-40s in that roughneck-dandy way that street types often...

    German 20s-30s work trousers

    i'm selling these German 1920s-30s work trousers which i bought from Fastuni last year, as the fit doesn't quite work for me unfortunately. they're a 32 - 33" waist. i'll post exact measurements later today.

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    Pappz, i'm happy to hear that. the more people say "i can wear heavy wool in summer" the more we can dispel the myth that men like soft, lightweight wool fabrics. ;) what weight are the trousers in question ?

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    those look good Claudio. i see the cream flannel as a trouser for cool, breezy spring & summer days (which we get a lot of in the UK). when the weather gets hot and humid i ditch the wool altogether.

    thanks, you've just reminded me i have that scarf too (it was hidden beneath others). i like to wear it with a cream jacket on cool summer days.

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    i very much doubt those trousers are 20s as the seller claims, and the 2nd pair appear to be cotton twill or gabardine rather than flannel.

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    amazing fabric... are they your's Rabbit ?

    20's/30's contrasting trousers

    there were plenty of worsteds in various fancy stripes or subtle weaves around in the 20s, as well as tweeds, serge, cord, cotton duck... the list goes on. probably better to avoid any fabric that looks like it could have belonged to a suit though, if you're after an odd / contrasting trouser.
