If you went back to the Golden Era, what would you notice first?
in Brighton: that trams are running down the high street and that the Burtons shop is open (the building is still there with carved Burtons logo on the side). problem is, what would we hypothetical time travellers use for money ? the staff would be very puzzled by modern five and ten pound notes.- herringbonekid

Oxford Bags
if it wasn't for this clip: http://www.efootage.com/stock-footage/81443/Oxford_Bags_Trousers_-_HD/ and this photo: ... i think i might lose faith that anything wider than 12" ever existed on British soil (aside from the 'wager' photos).

Oxford Bags
as far as i know no FL member owns a UK pair beyond the 11"-12" wide legged 1930s 'semi-Oxford' style that you commonly find with UK 30s-40s suits. 8 days in jail for wearing wide legged trousers ? this thread is going from Kafka-esque to surreal.- herringbonekid

TT, i'm not suggesting that the newspaper report is inaccurate exactly but , as in the example given by Yeps above, a colour such as magenta might have only been worn by one outrageous student in Oxford or Cambridge and reported upon by a bemused spectator.- herringbonekid

Flo, i also have a hard time imagining trousers in those colours in 1925. i feel i may need some photographic proof before i believe they actually existed. unfortunately colour photos from England in 1925 are as rare as hen's teeth.- herringbonekid

24 Rules For Gentlemen in 2014
Baron, i know this is something of a pet theme of yours. if we take it as a given that the public facade reveals nothing of the 'true nature' of a person, the question is; would you rather have a society of well dressed, well mannered unknowables, or a society of slobbishly dressed, obnoxious...- herringbonekid

24 Rules For Gentlemen in 2014
Son_of_Atropos, i don't recognise the world you're describing (women having all the power) but then i don't live in the US so perhaps i'm simply naive of the present day situation there. if men view women as some sort of enemy to be outmanoeuvred using psychology they'll never have a...- herringbonekid

1920s suits
a friend of mine purchased this mid 20s suit which some of you will remember was on US ebay a couple of months ago: turns out it did have a maker's label after all, sewn into the trousers: Clifford Street is just off Savile Row.- herringbonekid
