Some of there stuff does have a decent rise but yes most of their trousers- even those with a natural waist, are a little too tapered.
It also looks like sometimes a model has done that modern 'trick' of going a size down in their suit jacket. Because, y'know that makes it look slimmer, not at...
I think somethings are really out (at least one awful low rise tartan suit) and some are quite accurate. I think the way they are tailored can make them a little costumey, but of course you could just choose to get it altered more accurately.
In comparison to say SJC, there's maybe less...
Went there yesterday. Very well presented shop, has a lighting that suits the mood. A word of warning though, this meant I came out with a Beige cap instead of the grey I wanted. However it fits so well that possible stupidly I'm considering getting the Grey in adition now. They tend to vary...

40/42 jacket, but please note the short trousers.
Do you mean did they make they during WW2 (as in the original brand)? Then no, the name I be live was from an English Company and was brought up for use manufacturing in Germany, who did manufacture uniform for American Service men, but I've never heard of them actually manufacturing any of the...
I got one of these last March, it's only just coming back into use now really.
+ The Cloth
+ The warmth
+ The Talon Zipper (one of the good ones)
+ Around £200 cheaper than the Buzzrickso equivalent
- The cuffs were sloppy from the start and have only got worse
- Replacing the cuffs is an...
Forgot to reply to this
I can't find even an image of these, I'm going to contact Simon at the end of the month, when I've got the finances to maybe get something?
I like Old Town's stuff, but it mostly seems to be workwear and of an older period.
I'm in the uk, meaning US ebay that used to...
They do look good for the money, they're not a bad replica, some thought has clearly gone into the shape and cut.
I would love to find a proper vintage pair, but it's a lot harder with trousers than say jackets, due to the wear.
Been looking for some High Rise, wide legged (but not too wide, which unfortunately rules out SJC) trousers in a late 40s/ early 50s style. Quite like the Scott Fraser ones, but these are a little over budget for something I'll probably be wearing at work to some extent...
Just got this 3 Piece J Press, lovely natural shoulder, 3/2 roll and raised seams. Only issue is the nap of the trousers doesn't seem to have quite the same texture. This is unrecognisable unless really under a flash or a bright source of light. Any tips on restoring this if its possible?
Having played around with a Cooper, which was a nice enough jacket but wasn't 'it', I wouldn't settle for anything less than at very least an Aero. Ideally I would want an Eastman or Goodwear, since having seen most of the current manufacturers work in person I believe them to be the best in my...
The cuffs on my b15 are crap, the only really bad thing about it, keep meaning to do a MASH order and get something better to replace it. Really want a Black N1, so will probably be a Pike Brothers, since a Buzz William Gibson is out of my budget
I didn't send my email for a while after this tbh (drafted and forgot to), but 5 days later still waiting for a reply... starting to consider other options now, which is a shame?
Thanks Willy, I've sent them an email and I'll post up an reply to sizing. I might try and get up in person if I can, but it is a fair way away, especially with kids!
