    The Cap Faction

    great cap Stuffsmith. i've noticed that most of the cap makers use a zig-zag stitch to attach the leather band. it seems to be the traditional way... but is there a practical reason ?

    What are you wearing today??

    thanks Claudio. yes, people always have slightly different ideas of what colours go together. vive la différence. oddly enough the jacket has the same caramel coloured buttons as the shirt. ;)

    i haven't seen a lot of his recent films, but i thought he was very good in Dead Poet's Society.

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

    Fastuni, i'm not sure that 'busy' would rule out a sports suit or jacket for me. however, when we get into the smoother finish, pinstripe worsteds i can never see them with patch pockets. if i can picture a fabric with patch pockets it's good for a sports jacket. if not, then i think it should...

    thanks for the photos Benny. i'm undecided what to make with the fabric. there's no noticeable diagonal weave.

    How boxy is too boxy?

    exactly why you shouldn't worry about what authorities say is a 'correct' fit and should trust your own judgement on what works with your physique. you might find that (discounted) Ralph Lauren is what you're after as an updated Ivy League sack style is one of their staples...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    very interesting. thanks for posting these TT. i like these extra wide lapels on a suit with a neat shoulder: and this buttoned patch pocket: and this jacket (which looks very similar to some early 20s cuts, except a bit fuller in the body):

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

    thanks Fastuni. what style was the late 30s suit you had in similar fabric ? (p.s. i can't see the 'weave' structure; all i see is zig-zags !)

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

    some vintage fabric i bought a while ago with a weave i don't know the name of.... does anyone know ? it's about 14 oz, so not as heavy as my ideal 18, and rather 'crisp' without being scratchy. the jazziness of the weave makes me wonder if it's 1920s.

    How boxy is too boxy?

    i would try some boxy sports coats on at your local vintage store and see which shape you feel comfortable in.

    Show us your British suits

    i found these brace buttons recently and wondered if anyone had come across any Pratt and Co garments ? all i could find on the net is that they had addresses in George St (and / or Hanover Square) London, and Trinity Street Cambridge.

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    shawl collar and a jazzy design ! holy grail sweater.

    Show us their suits

    i can't work out what that fabric is. the non-shiny areas look almost like wool flannel, but the shiny areas remind me of some French cotton work jacket fabrics.
