    the changes in foods since your childhood? doesnt taste the same as it use to?

    One can take home-prepared foods and snacks for travel or camping. And preparing something during camping is half of the fun, as you will certainly agree. ;) Of course your point is taken - there are occasions when eating something ¨fast¨ outside becomes necessary. But it should surprise no one...

    1920s suits

    No this is most definitely a woman figure on the tie. Interesting - I thought they first came up in the 1940s.

    30's Chinese suit (Sz.34) jacket and waistcoat

    I would have been all over it had it been my size (and even better with trousers). Not only is the color lovely, but also the cut. And note those "fancy" buttons! Very much Continental/German-style.

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    Faux-Suede/Moleskin zipper jacket with RIES zippers. Elasticated sides. Zipped cardigan... a conversion I made myself:

    Seersucker

    To make smaller armholes (without adding fabric), one could take in the shoulder or side seam of the jacket, thus creating a smaller hole. Correspondingly the sleeve is made smaller by taking it in from the top or the seams.

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    Thank you for this very insightful and informative post, Matei! As you guessed tailoring in Romania - like the Balkans and Eastern Europe was influenced strongly by the German/Central European school. A 1930's map printed in the largest German tailoring periodical showed the places where...

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    The coat interestingly has double buckles, as usually seen on button-less German leather coats: This one has a very high gorge... quite like modern cut suit coats. Extremely large and loose tie knot on the young fella to the left.

    Could you post a photo of the necktie? It looks lovely, would be interested to see the motif.

    Lipstick in the heel

    You'd have to be extra careful though not the break and lose the heel. :p

    Amusing quotes from people mis-dating you

    All is good. :) It wasn't directed at you, Nora. I was responding to "Retro Specator", as he was looking for a thread about "reactions" in general.

    What modern invention/innovation do you wish had *never* been developed?

    "Thigh gap"! Goodness... never even imagined there is such an "issue". Utterly ridiculous - and if you ask me, skinny, twiggy thighs with a huge gap are neither feminine, nor attractive. How on earth do they come up with these "beauty criteria"?

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    If you have your own money already (I assume from a job), why do you need your mother to make purchases for you?

    What are you wearing today??

    If only! You made a good catch on this one, as many many RL jackets have a very low button stance. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?78254-Ralph-Lauren-Beltbacks

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    While no doubt cream flannels made from heavy wool are suited for winter at least on seasonal fashion illustrations grey flannels were preferred for Autumn/Winter, while cream was for Spring/Summer. I intuitively grab the heavy grey flannels once the wheather gets cold.

    Jacket Lining - Moleskin vs Corduroy

    Moleskin. More comfortable and easier to wear. Corduroy (never seen a full lining with this), may offer better insulation due to the ribbed structure. My vintage European leathers have all either rayon, cotton or moleskin lining. The latter are quite warm in winter.
