    TT, i was expecting the fabric to be too thin. we obviously missed the memo that modern men only require soft, lightweight fabrics. thanks for the review.

    wow, you have bad luck in the trouser security department. have you considered the smock ? Gutsav Klimt looked pretty cool in one. ;)

    might just be the photo, but the foot looks oddly deep.

    Cuff advice/size for vintage look.

    like Rabbit, i would also go for 1 5/8" to 1.75" for cuff width on a suit like that. i wouldn't worry about the distance of the cuff from the heel primarily... get the front right first. for a wide leg trouser i advise allowing the front to hit the shoe and have a slight break. it's normal...

    Show us your TIES

    nice ties. the first one could be 1915-ish, unless the apparent width is just the result of a wide angle lens ?

    Two Types, this film might find its way onto your British film blog in the near future: 'I Lived With You' 1933. a comedy co-written by and starring Ivor Novello as a down and out Russian Prince (who causes havoc when he's taken in by an ordinary cockney family) :

    'Snakehips Swing' by Ken 'Snakehips' Johnson and his West Indian Dance Orchestra, 1938 (way too late for the scene in the episode). it's on this CD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazz-Britain-1919-Various-Artists/dp/tracks/B0007ULN9K/ref=dp_tracks_all_3#disc_3

    the 'off-white' in the bow tie is slightly warm, but the shop coat doesn't have any hue. that reminds me, i need to take a photo of my brown and black spectators.
