    The Cap Faction

    great design, and i would agree with that date. here's the artist Egon Schiele in a cap with an interesting angled band. Schiele died in 1918, so i would guess this is around 1917:

    Ridiculous Ebay listing!!!

    TT, i agree. i can understand high prices for original 'weathered' workwear but, as far as i'm concerned, shabby old moth eaten suits are unwearable and fit only for the recycling plant, or patterns.

    ... and how many belt-backs does Mr. "i don't like belted/pleated backs" own ? ;)

    The Cap Faction

    kind of a cap equivalent of a belt-back jacket with all the 'action' (the pleats) at the rear.

    Have television shows finally surpassed movies?

    i've noticed the production value thing for many years now. the last two period-set films i saw in a cinema - 'The Deep Blue Sea' by Terence Davies and 'A Dangerous Method' by David Cronenberg - both looked fine but not significantly better than most recent period-set TV series (e.g. Peaky...

    Show off the sports coats.

    Dinerman, is there a particular name for that last style ? it resembles a Hollywood in cut and detail but not in fabric.

    Hair cuts

    i don't think i've ever heard a man from the UK refer to his hair as a 'pompadour'. anything swept up and back seems to always be called a 'quiff'.

    that seems to be the case. the only time Simomds or Cordova caps are posted on here seems to be by a member saying "i've just bought this cap by...."

    don't take it personally Keith; the other cap makers were subject to the same regulations and have continued to contribute to the thread. i hope you keep posting.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    how do you feel about it on the Pinkie Brighton Rock suit which has the same configuration ? i like both yoke and non-yoke versions myself, though on this particular suit i'd rather it only had four of the small out-darts (of the type it has near the centre seam) instead of the shark gills.

    nice suit (understatement).

    Suits - Pre 1920

    suits today are very generic in overall cut, so while we may find fault with things such as low-rises etc... it's unlikely that we'll see anything as risk-taking as some of the long flared skirt suits of the Edwardian era. suits today 'play it safe' and don't risk too much. while that probably...

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Claudio, there are lots of good fitting suits on every day men in the 1920s suits thread in my opinion. i understand what you mean though. i would agree that by the early 30s if you look at photos of a group of ordinary people their suits will probably be better fitting than the early 20s, but...
