    what colour

    Wide 30-40's slacks of solid color. Blues, greys, browns and white would work all. I'd go for brown and pick up the color of the checks.

    Show off the sports coats.

    Very very nice! Good fit, too! Please tell/show us more of the label. Has it the 100% wool line? Then it is late-40's early-50's. The 30's-40's label lacked this. The fabric is quite similar, if not identical to my post-war Harris Tweed hacking jacket. I wonder whether yours has also vents?

    How to Have a Bespoke Tailor Make a Vintage Suit?

    Just as Floey said. Get an original in a cut you prefer - even if it is damaged, discolored, too small and otherwise unwearable - and have the tailor copy it. Saves hours of talking about details - one forgets to mention half of it and there is always the possibility of misunderstanding...

    Did and Didn't

    That's Sicilian style. The thinner, cheesy type is Neapolitan. I'd guess it is connected to the origin of the Italian immigrants.

    Show us your TIES

    Thanks guys! Yes Britain was my suspicion - but still rather odd that these "imported fabric" labels seldomly mention the country of origin. As to the width: 3 3/4 inches.

    Can't wait for this one to arrive. Can anyone help with the approximate date of this tie? The fabric and cut looks 30-40's, but it might be early 50's already. Also what were the usual countries of origin for "imported fabrics"?

    First post - Ribbon color recommendations?

    It depends largely on what clothes you want to wear with the hat. You wrote: For blue, gray and black clothes the navy ribbon is the sensible choice. The copper is good for lighter tones and earthy colors.

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    I have to check my German 30's style guides... but I think the recommendation to balance with solid elements was around already then. ... Here another solid dark blue structure stripe DB. Mid to late 30's from Leipzig. The fabric is outstanding in quality and drape. Size is a 38 Short (but...

    Darcy Clothing (UK) Trousers

    Can't comment on the quality - whether they are costumey or suitable for everyday use. But the "fancy" waist details are not what was typical everyday wear for the period.

    Darcy Clothing (UK) Trousers

    The cut is period correct - but these are rather "fancy" styles, inspired by collegiate fashions (extra wide waistbands and fancy belt loops). The pale grey flanells are the best and most useable from the lot. If you want them to look a bit less novelty/fancy take down the buttoned belt loops...

    How about a rich blue shirt with white club collar and cuffs? I would go for something extravagant BUT solid colored to balance the pattern-heavy suit and tie.

    It is (lighter) overcoat-quality cloth. Scalloped yokes were quintessentially Continental European sports style - but in US fashion it is largely confined to Western wear.

    1930s perfection: belt back german sports coat

    Yup - that's what I'm going to do. The recent purchases have made obsolete the garments that are not perfectly my size.
