Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?
p.s. i've just made this from 30s-40s French printed shirt fabric. the tab is a separate piece. it has small buttons on each end which go through a buttonhole on the back of the collar. more photos on the blog.- herringbonekid

Peaky Blinders
i'm glad someone agrees. i don't think the series will be celebrated in years to come for it's dramatic writing. for it's art direction and evocation of a folklore working class Edwardian hellhole... possibly.- herringbonekid

Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

Peaky Blinders
i watched the first episode tonight, and will probably watch the whole new series as i like the overall aesthetic of it, but i'm so fed up of the whole brooding male violence thing.

Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?
shirt fabrics have got thinner and smoother due to the same meme you hear repeated by the manufacturers of super 180s suiting fabric: "men want soft, luxury fabric, not the heavy, coarse fabrics their grandfathers had". as for the designs, i'm sure they could be done, even the ones that have...- herringbonekid
