    Cloth merchant with vintage quality cloths?

    i wish i'd seen enough 1920-40s Italian suits to give an informed answer, but the suit forum is sorely lacking in the Italian department (we've certainly seen plenty of evidence of the Romanian fondness for wide lapels recently).

    Unusual Cafe Racer style Half belt

    interesting pockets on that jacket; the way they're stitched under the front yoke and go right to the bottom edge.

    the buttons and pockets appear to be quite low on that late-20s suit.

    well, that's all it can do really. it just seems odd that none of the catalogues show a drawing of it in that position. usually the small functional details of garments are described in detail in the ad copy. here's a scan from Sears 1923 for the Hercules shirts. all it says regarding the...

    also bought this RRL crew neck sweater a while ago, and have also added a vintage chenille letter to it: and below, the type of sweater it was based on, with original letter: (the neck style of the RRL sweater is almost an exact cross between the 2 originals)

    Eddie Schmidt, Hollywood's tailor.

    i would contact Marc Chevalier of facebook 'ask a vintage menswear expert' page. he's the authority on all matters Eddie Schmidt or Oviatt's related.

    Pleated pants

    there's a pair of 1936 dated trousers with outward facing pleats here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?20949-Eddie-Schmidt-Hollywood-s-tailor&p=1852734&viewfull=1#post1852734

    Luxire and Moleskin Trousers

    i don't think there's any noticeable difference, assuming they're both near enough the same weight (oz per metre).

    Vintage Workwear

    you could sell that on ebay as 'distressed work shirt'.

    Vintage Workwear

    the extension neckband (now commonly referred to as 'chin strap') is a common feature on vintage work shirts and repro versions, but what exactly is the point of it ? it doesn't offer a tighter / looser alternative to the existing top button, plus it's hidden when the collar is down. is it...

    XXL 1947 dated British suit (48" chest)

    hard to tell what the numbers refer to. if 5/65 is the date what's 11/830 ? i agree it looks later though, as in late 50s - mid 60s.
