    what tips you off to 30s rather than 20s ?

    1920s suits

    most Norfolks have a removable belt, not an attached belt. i think you mean 'dartless' rather than 'ventless'. also, the term 'sack' was used for all types of jackets during the teens and early 20s, not just dartless fronts. that's far from a 'regular' suit. it's from a page entitled 'Young...

    Peaky Blinders

    yes, that photo is on page 1 of this thread. i don't mean to imply that ALL caps would have been really wide in 1918. there would have been a variety of sizes available. but a few wide ones might have been nice to include. the droopiness bothers me more than the width (as the actress said...).

    Luxire trousers

    i think Baron K (or Ben Stephens) used a tailor around Marylebone who made decent trousers for around £85, if memory serves. they were in a basement with metal steps outside. not a 'prestigious' name tailor. a workhorse.

    Luxire trousers

    i think 'unwearable' is a bit harsh. i've seen quite a few wide leg vintage trousers caving in down the back thigh like that. put a belt on and pull them up a bit and it can disappear. or stand slighty differently and they might hang straighter. i agree though that working with a face-to-face...

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    hard to get too excited about beige, but it looks good. slightly uniform-ish. i can imagine it working with a brown leather 30s-40s flight-type jacket. what was your take on it... a not too formal dress shirt ?

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    i would never call myself a tailor as it's not my trade. i'm just someone who's learned how to make clothes for himself. i agree that fit and whether the suit / garment actually flatters you should be the first consideration when wearing anything. personally, i was drawn to clothing of the...

    Peaky Blinders

    i noticed that too, but forgot to mention it. British Edwardian caps were often very wide and far from droopy. they also commonly have the two-piece (circular edge seam) construction rather than the eight-panel. more like this:

    Luxire trousers

    i've seen a pair of vintage trousers with different direction pleats, although the opposite to yours; inside pleat facing in and outside pleat facing out, and i'll bet you could find a vintage pair with the combo your's have. having said that, if you're not happy you should return them. this...

    What are you wearing today??

    have you made other hats or just this one ? why did you decide on no ribbon ?

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    i have the same fabric in brown too.... coming up soon. thanks. no... i never wear shirts untucked. i just don't bother with the whole 'tails' bit that most shirt-makers do. the second-bottom button is covered by high waisted trousers. here's a quick shot. sorry about the unshaven chin:
