    oh i see, yes. i was trying to spot something unusual about the shoulder seam. :p the centre back seam has so little suppression that it could have almost been cut as one piece.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    absolutely, but creativity unchecked can lead to some pretty ugly places. i actually think that the recent retro-interest among designers is a good thing. it's as if they've put the creative brakes on a little and thought "hmm, is what i'm about to do actually better than something that was...

    thanks ! yes, the only wear spots to the leather is on the lower corners, but nothing major. the interior has a large mark, but overall not bad: i can't even imagine what a hand-made bag of this quality would cost today.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    i agree that there are lots of styles around that are similar to the late teens and early 20s styles; neat jackets, narrow trousers, striped shirts with contrast collars, bow ties, knit ties, Balmoral boots, a general interest in tailoring, looking 'groomed' as oppose to grungy. but, there's...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    it seems there was a period when Brooks Brothers began using the term specifically for an un-darted suit or jacket, and at the same time the correct use was widely being replaced simply by the colloquial 'suit'.

    i don't know of anyone currently doing that type of jacket. there's Aero leather's 'Waterfront' but it doesn't have a belted back. here's an RRL one on US ebay...

    yeah. it's a beauty. ;) good ones regularly turn up on ebay.uk . i've been looking out for one for ages; i snapped this one up as it had those slightly quirkier features.

    just bought this Gladstone-type bag, probably 1920s: the bag has detachable straps which buckle underneath (or can be slipped into the loops on the other side when not used). not certain of their usage... probably to slip a rolled up blanket or raincoat into:

    almost certainly 30s. i've never seen that on British 20s-50s jackets before. Fastuni should be able to tell us if he's seen it on German jackets.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    some of the new members may have missed this thread. some nice illustrations from a 1918 catalogue: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?62367-1918-Danforth-Mills-Crack-A-Jack-tailoring-catalog (notice that the term 'sack' is used for virtually every suit, whether it has darts or no...

    What are you wearing today??

    who's the suit made by Claudio ? the collar (of the suit) has a 1920s look to it.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    interesting suit Dostioffsky. the lapels are rather small for the chest space. they remind me of some German suits we've seen on here... but then i imagine Netherlandish suits would resemble German suits (?).

    amazing Burtons suits

    you'd need fabric as good as that suit first; the only fabric i know as good as that is vintage fabric. even Fox Brother's LL range - which is flannel, not a complex worsted like the suit in question - is £120 a metre. that's £400 - £480 for the fabric alone which would leave about £200 -...
