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

    more from Fox (i'm not getting commission, honest)... i have a swatch of this and it's very nice. 19-20 oz 'soft grey twill' taken from their 1940s archive. called 'overcoat' weight but ignore that; it would make great odd trousers or jacket:

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    thanks ! no, pretty much a neutral grey. the photos are probably a bit warm / yellow. the waistband on front, not on back is something i've copied from British 30s trousers.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    more trousers ! heavy modern 'vintage' style linen. early 20s cut. something for the detail obsessives here:

    Aero's latest!!

    if people see 70s they see 70s. there's not much you can do about it. same thing happens with many 30s suits.

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    well found ! 1912... i was thinking it was a bit later.

    1920s suits

    nothing suspect about the paper labels. it seems to have been more of US than a European thing to do though. many of them are wonderfully designed and have amusing bits of info on. the tiny label you mention reminds me of the card label i took off a Palm Beach tie which had a ton of info on...

    girls in guy's garb

    women can look great in that sort of high waisted mannish trouser. few seem to attempt it though.

    Zoot Suits?

    Laurel and Hardy look surprisingly good in zoot suits. :p

    Oxford Bags

    they could have been made by a home tailor (like me), just to wear, not necessarily for theatre. they're certainly a bit of a puzzle.

    Oxford Bags

    before anyone says "NO they're original !!!" consider that the finish is too rough for bespoke, but not production-line enough for workwear. still would look great as part of a 1930s ruffian / Apaches look, with flat cap, braces, black boots and tattoos IMHO. ;)

    Balmoral Boots

    i wish ! caption said Russian, 1926. ... this boot by Grenson / 'Foot the Coacher' is getting there shape-wise: edit: oh, they've already been mentioned on page 28 of this thread..... sold out anyway. [huh]

    1920s suits

    i wondered that too, but i think that's the jacket's belt visible on his right. ... Noel Coward:

    1930s / 40s shirt research, input needed

    nihil, if you're thinking of have a 30s-40s style shirt reproduced i would advise buying one off ebay, even if it doesn't fit perfectly, to examine the details. they aren't hard to find in UK and Europe. (the part you call 'box pleated buttoning' is usually called the 'placket')
