    Your Favorite Paintings

    my favourite living artist is the German Neo Rauch, born Leipzig 1960. his work is filled with imagery that seems to refer to the former GDR (and other historical periods) but seen as if in a disjointed dreamscape: does anyone else like any contemporary artists ?

    Show us their suits

    thanks for the screen grabs TT. there's a real variety of lapel widths and shoulders on show. you don't see so many men thrusting the hands in the jacket pockets like this in old British photos. they usually go for the hand in trouser pocket with jacket flipped up stance. the same...

    Simonds Caps

    Barry, i'm sure i've seen that twin pleat cap in a catalogue with a name before, but i can't find it at the moment. i like it. it has a very late teens - early 20s feel.

    Early 1920's 1930's Workwear Blazer Sanforized Round Pockets Grey & White Cotton

    i think this jacket is early 30s. that top stitching on the cuff is often done on unlined jackets from the 20s to 50s.

    1940's Hairy Porkpie

    i've never heard porkpie as a euphemism for anything rude before. it's my sheltered upbringing, and cloistered ways.

    Early 1920's 1930's Workwear Blazer Sanforized Round Pockets Grey & White Cotton

    great jacket. perfect for grey spring days. there's a bit of cross over between work and lightweight jackets as they can be constructed in near identical ways, but i'd agree that this one is more of a lightweight jacket than a 'workwear' jacket.

    Peaky Blinders

    TT, none of those things bothered me because, as mentioned earlier, the 'realism' level of the show wasn't something i think the makers troubled themselves too much with. that sort of stand off though - two gangs of men facing each other 20 feet apart with guns drawn - has always struck me as a...

    is there actually some 30s-40s cloth in there, or by 'vintage' are we talking 60s - 70s ?

    Show off the sports coats.

    no, that's just how a lot of collars -that have a melton undercollar- are finished. just stitch it back down as neatly as you can. ;)

    Show off the sports coats.

    Meta, if the raw edges of the folded over bit have come undone just stitch 'em down again.

    'No Limits' back on topic, here's a 1936 British suit with a similar glencheck to the one on the right you posted:

    no, i heard that it's not open to the public and you have to be 'accompanied by a tailor'.

    A.C. apart from some Ardalanish tweed, i've only used vintage 30s-40s suiting, so i've been spoilt by the quality and the price. don't worry, there's no way i'd buy something cheap and modern. this LL Fox cloth is really the only modern cloth i've seen that has same quality as vintage. i'm just...

    yes, and 'windowpane' would actually be an invisible design. terminology aside, i'd love to get some of that Fox LL windowpane and do a belted back number similar to this: if only i could justify £240 for two metres of fabric. [huh]

    according to Flusser's glossary, an 'overplaid' (which we can assume is the same as 'overcheck') is a 'block figure pattern superimposed upon a smaller plaid or other type of design'. i stand my pedantic ground that a windowpane is over a plain background, like the ones in my first post...

    Baron, the fact that it has a windowpane in it doesn't make it a 'windowpane'. it's still called a Glencheck, or POW check. that's what you would ask for at the counter. i'll give you one pedantic point for the fact that there is a windowpane in there somewhere.
