    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    yes of course. :eusa_doh: as for fabrics: i think it's very hard to get shirt fabrics today that have the quality of shirt fabrics of the teens-50s era. the weight , texture and complexity of woven design is just not there today. that's partly why i revived this thread; to see if any...

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Simonc, the problem for me with that fabric is that it looks like classic mattress ticking rather than shirt fabric. thanks Flo, that's a good shot of the type that fastens to the collar stud (not that i wear detachable collars with studs !).

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Stifel: Beyond the stars- Wabash, Calico, Dobby Indigo Fabric

    i bought 2.5 yds from Etsy for $35 :eek: ... you could order Stifel fabric by the yard from the major catalogues during the teens-40s. these catalogues usually had a large selection of fabric available for home sewers. here's a scan from Charles Williams, 1921:

    1920s suits

    no, i think it belonged to Lucky Kat who sold it a while ago on ebay. it's interesting how it has the same features as many early 20s jackets (including the stitched down belt which seems to have largely disappeared by the 30s-40s) but the proportions are so different. edit (i think it's late...
