Pocket flaps on suit coats
caveat: i think Fastuni is right; that there were some bigger pocket flaps around in the 70s than there were in the 20s-40s. i wonder if anyone has actually 'saved' such a jacket though by removing the flaps ?- herringbonekid

Pocket flaps on suit coats
i'm a flap fan, especially on feature-heavy rugged sports jackets ! i think they only look 70s on a jacket that already looks 70s for other reasons, e.g. the lapel shape, the overall cut, the shoulders etc.- herringbonekid

Changes to UK Ebay?
if you bookmark a category (e.g. i have ebay.uk 20s , 30s etc bookmarked on my browser toolbar) you might have to reset them every year or so, if the original location / address gets altered. this has happened several times over the years, but didn't happen to mine yesterday.- herringbonekid

if you deduct the collar height then those back measurements make more sense for a 5' 7" height.... still not 'short' though. :confused:- herringbonekid

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
i'm still confused by the tailoring guides you quoted in the previous post though, since they seem to suggest that German jackets were on the long side, not short.- herringbonekid
