    could be narrow-wale cord too. difficult to spot the difference between cord, moleskin and velvet in lo-res photos.

    BRITISH Belt-Back Suits and Sports Jackets

    i hope it is British - notice that it has an extra scallop point along the yoke in the centre - it would prove that Vin-Brit tailoring wasn't as stodgy and slow moving as it seems. but i require further evidence. ;)

    very interesting jacket. not sure if we should conclude it's British though.

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    what a lot of trouble to go to just to lower the buttons an inch and a half !... but as it's conclusive then Fastuni's suggestion that it's probably a 30s-40s suit with narrowed trousers seems the most likely.

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    Barmey, i'm curious about the inserted piece on the front; how high does it go behind the lapel ? and is there a similar patched area on the reverse (the facing) ?

    Cream wool flannel suit (British 1930s?)

    the trouser width would be unusually narrow for a 30s suit. they would suggest pre-bag (early 20s) or post-bag (late 50s). although i'm sure Barmey would love it to be a 20s suit, i'm inclined (mainly due to the well padded shoulders) to think it's a post bagger. ;)

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

    yes, i think if those gorges had been 1-2" lower the lapel corners might lie as they should. very high gorges tend to be more of a modern thing, though i've seen some illustrations (not to be totally trusted) from the early 20s with very high ones too.

    Lightweight British summer suit - small size

    charcoal grey is a classic pairing with pale pink too. not very summery though.

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    not too high at all to my eye.

    Lightweight British summer suit - small size

    i'm not surprised. a pale pink shiny-fabric DB suit isn't an easy suit to wear.

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

    lapel corners should ideally curve back into the jacket slightly to counteract this problem (the curve is put in while pad-stitching the canvas to the jacket). in this case the very high gorge of the jackets is exacerbating the ping-up peaks, because they're lying on the area of chest where it's...

    note that the pair on the right -first photo- appear to be the narrower and shorter 20s style blanket bag:

    1920s suits

    these were posted in the caps thread by Stuffsmith, but i thought i'd repost them here since the outfits are so interesting. Tour de France riders 1929: 1926:

    Putting it all together

    GHT, i would seriously consider shortening the legs of those trousers to get a cleaner hang with only a slight break.

    appears to be a nautical themed men's fashion show.
