    Vintage pictures of wild patterned sweaters

    here's some i own, all made in U.S. : Murray, 20s: Modern Textiles, 20s-30s: sadly this deadstock one is too small, and moth-damaged. not sure of date. looks jazzy 20s in design but i think it's actually 40s. Jim Penney label:

    Thoughts on females wearing fedoras

    generally i think it looks tacky in the same way i think women in oversize men's white shirts posing with a cigar look tacky; too "aren't i the cutest" in a 1980s-90s black and white poster kind of way. i have seen some well done examples though, but only on women who integrate it with a well...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    i bought that one off Baron and we were unsure of the date, but since the cut, fabric and buttons are so similar to yours i'd bet it's the same NRA era too.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    there's a lot of interest in the late-teens to early 20s at the moment. i don't think it's just down to the threads here on the FL either. i think it's a zeitgeist thing.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    i wear heavy (18-20oz) flannels and tweeds in Autumn/Winter and cotton and linen in the Summer. i've never found the need for lightweight wool fabrics. (thread de-railment. let's see some more pre-20s suits).

    i love the trouser details. it must be the bargain of the decade ! the jacket and trouser length is very short -almost too short- but that's all subjective and debatable. great suit. p.s. what height are you ?

    Balmoral Boots

    i like the colour combo of those Moriarty's. not keen on the wing tip. i've got the Jeffrey West balmorals i posted here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?19157-Balmoral-Boots&p=1671970&viewfull=1#post1671970 they're not the perfect balmoral, but will do until i can afford...

    What are you wearing today??

    What are you wearing today??

    How much more length does this bomber jacket need?

    you don't need any extra length in the jacket. you need jeans with a higher rise.

    i'm not really a fan of David Niven, but this outfit deserves a mention simply for it's crisp sharpness: those lapels look like they've been lazer-cut out of felt.
