    Swap Your Vintage Ties!!!

    i'm looking for a 20s striped knit tie in shades of black / grey / white only (no colours). if anyone has one they'd like to swap for a bold look tie let's talk.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    excellent work Nick. i don't know what the summers in Upper Michigan are like, but i'll bet the suit will be useful for those cooler, cloudy summer days. the type we get a lot of in Britain. i wear blue-grey linen myself in that sort of weather.

    the colours are far too muted for it to be garish.

    Fastuni, can you recall what the ankle width was ?

    Suits - Pre 1920

    looks like a Donegal Tweed to me, but in the catalogue it's just described as 'all wool quality tweed'. they often use 'Cheviot' for what looks like 'Donegal' and 'Cassimere' instead of 'Cashmere'.

    Vintage Raincoats and Trenchcoats.

    yes, great collection of coats N&TC. why is the Bell motor coat fastening a woman's way ? my dream is to find a 40s despatch coat but in a less stiff fabric. the rubberised stuff is like card.

    no double standard. most of us who favour the subtle stripes and woven patterns also like the majority of the brocades too. they don't come across as loud and garish. brocades are generally rich of colour and complex of pattern but not garish.

    that's pretty much what Armani did in the late 80s - early 90s; took the bold look and turned it slouchy. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_70rJ1ndenM0/S9QY6bsn02I/AAAAAAAAMq0/G5W-fsU1Nq8/s1600/Giorgio+Armani+Year-+Spring_Summer+1989+Model-+Sam+Alderson+Ph-+Aldo+Fallai.jpg

    Show us your TIES

    i don't see either of the ties in the link above as being intended to be shown in their entirety. they're an 'all over' design. you can show as much or as little as you choose.

    i think it's too easy to generalise and say 'all bold ties are gaudy' or 'all striped ties are boring'. both statements are way too broad. TT, while i'm generally on the side of 'subtle' when it comes to tie choice, i've seen bold ties used well in otherwise quite un-flashy outfits...

    Show off the sports coats.

    me too. the sleeves look fine to me.

    Show off the sports coats.

    those lapels look very period correct. i'm sure the designer must have been looking at 30s jackets for inspiration.
