    What are you wearing today??

    Sproily, you have a true gift for matching patterns, and throwing vintage pieces together in a way that feels authentic but living rather than costume-y. Neither of these are easy to do. I always look forward to your posts. Very well done!

    Putting it all together

    It's like a trousered version of pegged jeans. The late 20's must have been a really layered, complex time for haberdashery. Always discovering new surprises from that timeframe - like the ongoing thread in the General section about 20's-does-70's or 70's-does-20's...or whatever

    Dress shirts ... just dress shirts

    I stand corrected. I was just assuming from the prices. If you pick up one of their suits and like it, let me know. Regarding their shirts - I also appreciate their wider variety of interesting patterns - a bit like an American Charles Tyrwhitt.

    Dress shirts ... just dress shirts

    I have five standard white french cuffed dress shirts by Paul Fredrick. The fit and cut are good, though the broadcloth is a little thin for my tastes. But for the price, their shirts are a good deal. Wouldn't tangle with any of their suiting though. While they offer a wider than average...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Dinerman, that second linen jacket with the belted back is simply amazeballs. Congrats on scoring such great orphans! Alright gents, here's my latest pick-up, from ebay. I think i was jousting with a couple other Loungers to get it. I never really understood what a "drape" suit was until I...

    What are you wearing today??

    Welcome Mercer. To paraphrase the immortal Kanye West, "You're looking pretty frat in your beige polo." I sport the RL/BB button-down and jeans look many a day, along with a pair of well-worn topsiders, which truth be told, are probably my favorite pair of shoes. Took a girl to the theatre...

    Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes suit

    Another great reference is Sidney Paget's original illustrations that ran with the Holmes stories when they were first printed in the Strand. I have several blown up and framed in my living room - and comparing them with the descriptions here of Brett's wardrobe, I find that he copied Holmes'...

    Thanks for the kind words all! I snagged another great 30s double breasted off ebay recently that I'll add to this thread soon. -PMH

    What are you wearing today??

    Quigley - well done on the thin bow tie. I find, the slimmer the bow tie, the less like a clown I feel. B.J. - the boutonniere looks great with the yellow tie and straw hat! Was at a wedding this weekend at the St. Anthony in San Antonio - a shot from the bar at 1:45 AM on Friday night at...

    Finally!

    I'd be willing to sacrifice some "individuality" for the perk of being able to find bells and whistles like double-breasted waistcoats, belted backs, and the like in RTW stores. Incidentally - has anyone looked at Ralph Lauren's "Rugby" line? I've gotten some VERY early, collegiate inspired...

    Marc, the suit looks incredible. I've been waiting to how it looks worn! Met folks for dinner tonight - great suit from the 30's.

    From Etsy awhile back. Replaced black plastic buttons with cordovan colored corozo buttons. The suit is constructed out of heavy, dark navy, herringbone patterned wool - which accounts for the exceedingly harsh light in these pics. Sorry about that, I had to find the BRIGHTEST room in the...

    Huh ???

    This is the best listing ever. Complete with bewildering Nazi references!!! Please someone make this a sticky.

    Brooks Brothers Clothing

    Most of my non vintage suits are from their 1818 line - which is less expensive than Golden or Black Fleece. As A.C. was saying, you can pick up those suits with deep discounts at end of season and they are pretty well made - I think most of them are Southwick actually, with half-canvas...

    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    I have always thought Buscemi's collars look awfully strange on this show. I guess it must be the low placement of the collar pin - also they look perhaps an inch too big. Maybe his pastiche wardrobe is also the way it is because of little concessions like that - "I hate collars that touch my...

    Thanks for your thoughts gents - Glad to know I wasn't far off on my date estimation. I think the "restraint" in terms of style and cut is one of the things that makes that suit interesting to me. Often when I wear my other vintage pieces, people snap to the fact that they are vintage. That...

    Mightn't Mr. Coward be in Morning Dress - a stroller and grey formal trousers?

    Anybody inspected those RRL wears? the lookbook for their tailored stuff is interesting. i've always found RL jackets have a strange fit - though I only own one of their proper suits.

    Putting it all together

    Wow. A few of these I like. Some of them I don't like at all! Is that an Oregon Ducks themed look on the second row far right, with the white/silver tie over the mustard yellow on green windowpane? Looks about as bad as their post-Nike uniforms do. Also - it is interesting that so few of...

    Beautiful 3-piece DB suit

    hell he's almost there with 7 days left on the auction. I'll be interested to see what it closes at. Aren't there Japanese collectors who swoop in and bid insane amounts on legit golden era suiting? or does this one not project into the 1k range because it lacks a belted back? -PMH
