    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Rabbit, the suit in that thread you linked to and the one below, have very novel features such as satin-bound edges, fancy buttons, spratt's head stitching at the rear waist, as well as the very high and close buttoning. it seems to be all these elements together that make them classic 'jazz'...

    Stovel & Mason bespoke topcoat

    probably cashmere, and probably mid to late 50s. Old Burlington Street is just around the corner from Savile Row which classes this as a 'Row' garment.

    Progress Suit Catalog - Fall/Winter 1920 w/ Illustrations and Swatches

    yes, and a huge decline immediately after the big push. it seems that men are just naturally wary of green.

    The Green Suit

    in the early 1920s catalogues 'olive green' was a very popular colour. it seems like every other suit was available in 'olive green'. (mind you, they seem to use 'olive' for any shade of green from brown-green to muted-lime-green to forest-green). so why did green fall from grace ? like the...
