    have you posted a shot of this particular side-rear pocket before ? it seems very familiar, but my memory is failing me.

    1930's Suit German (2x jackets, waistcoat, pants, shirt) + Ulster-Coat

    Fastuni, that's a nice idea, but i doubt very much this was a purpose-made hairdresser's suit. hairdressers nearly always wore the typical cotton unstructured workwear type of garments, similar to ship's stewards, ice cream salesmen, delivery boys and all of that ilk. that's a tailored 3...

    A Culture of Snark

    the point isn't whether Dylan is a talented songwriter or not. the point is that in those early interviews his whole demeanour said very clearly 'i'm anti-establishment' and that would have been rapidly picked up on and copied by sectors of youth at the time. the fact that ironic detachment and...

    A Culture of Snark

    i think Bob Dylan's early bored, cynical, confrontational, flippant interview style was more influential than the Beatles' more cheeky one. i'm sure they were influenced by his persona themselves.

    unfortunately, a raccoon-fur coat is the last thing you want to be wearing if you fall into freezing cold water.

    Paintings that showcase vintage fashion

    the last two are by Meredith Frampton, not Whistler... sorry my captioning could have been clearer. he did several of these painstakingly realistic portraits. apparently his output was rather small because they took so long. have a look at his 'portrait of a young woman' (with cello) from 1935.

    Belted back we can fight over

    Fastuni, that suit might be what put the image in my head. i'm not suggesting it is a uniform, but it might be a suit which was tailored for some sort of specific sporting / riding use.

    Belted back we can fight over

    four buttons and a straight front is very unusual though for a sports jacket of that date. maybe it's the slight 'uniform' look of the jacket but i keep imagining it with matching breeches.

    double breasted waist seam jacket

    quite right Flo... there were the waist seam suit jackets of the late teens (usually with s single vent) but this isn't one of those. what i meant on the previous page was that frock coats are hard to date because they always look (at first glance) Victorian or Edwardian when they might be later.

    double breasted waist seam jacket

    here's a single breasted jacket also with the Victorian type back, dated 1922: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Vintage-1920s-Wool-Hunting-Jacket-w-Hand-Carved-Buttons-sz-34-WOW-/291080381895?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item43c5be25c7 ... these types of backs really make it harder to date a...

    double breasted waist seam jacket

    that's the type of flap often done above a patch pocket on a sports jacket. the whole jacket is a bit of a puzzle.
