    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Patrick, they look like classic shoulders to me. what you're calling the 'waterfall' looks like the result of a decent amount of sleevehead wadding and a few dimples where the sleevehead has been eased in (not a bad thing... most sleeveheads have some amount of dimpling). a really raised /...

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    great photo Flo. there's a unique sort of French quirkiness that i really like. question is though: who's man enough to try the plus fours ? :p

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Patrick, those don't look like Spalla Camicias to me. have a look at these posts: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?63545-The-Vintage-Tailoring-Thread&p=1464953&viewfull=1#post1464953 there should be a noticeable 'edge' where the seam allowances have been pressed onto the body side...

    Oxford Bags

    wow. any info on what country ? ... p.s. i was asked today by a man in a pub if i was wearing 'Oxford Bags' (i wasn't. i was only wearing typical 11" wide high-backed trousers with braces. i first cleared up whether he meant the term in the 1970s 'soul boy' flared version.... he didn't)...

    "The Master" 2012 J. Phoenix | P. Seymour Hoffman

    that's the problem. if you're going to make a film that works within a two to three hour time span it requires more thought as to how to make the best use of that time span. it shouldn't feel like a ten hour TV series that's been edited down to two hours twenty minutes, and has loads...

    TT, have you looked into your family tree ? there's clearly some connection going on here.

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    i'd like to know what was going on with the tie knots. lined ties, loose knots, or both ? ... these lapels are something else !

    perhaps you've got Romanian roots ? ... dark hair, a natural fondness for deep-bellied lapels ? ;)

    someone needs to reproduce those. ... i love a 1930s lady in a simple satin blouse. Mr. contrasty and tieless:

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    i agree with TT and Metatron. as amateur fashion historians i think it's important to remind ourselves what ordinary, un-aibrushed, non-fashion-obsessed people looked and dressed like. and if their clothes are a bit wrinkled and dirty, well, that's life !

    "The Master" 2012 J. Phoenix | P. Seymour Hoffman

    can't fault the cinematography or acting, but i was very disappointed with this film especially as i thought 'There Will be Blood' was brilliant. Joaquin Phoenix's character is thoroughly unlikeable, and not in an interesting way, just dulled, messed up and shambolic. Philip Seymour Hoffman's...

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    Fastuni, that's interesting. the only other suit i've seen with shoulders as highly-padded as some of these was German ! a friend of mine owns it. i'll try to get some photos from him.

    Romanian Fashions in the mid-20th Century

    some rather large tie knots in these photos. loads of nice jacket-shirt-tie-pullover combos, and who'd have thought that the Romanians would have such a thing for lapel width and shoulder height ?

    Show us their suits

    thanks. for me, the really built up shoulders are what push it over the top. if you took the badges / buttons off the lapels and toned the shoulders down i think it would look like a wearable, sporty (slightly quirky) jacket. too much break for me too. i like the wide trousers-tight jacket...

    can you re-post this image Metatron ? i didn't see it, and it appears to have been moved.

    interesting the way they've sunk the side tabs into a purpose-built seam in the waistband. i don't think i've seen that before.

    i think peaked lapels can be too big sometimes. great photos though.
