The delightful attic smell.
have you ever tried one ? i'd like to know exactly how they do it before handing a vintage suit jacket over. is a machine involved or is it basically a professional hand wash ?- herringbonekid

The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Rudie, thanks. TT, as this suit is inspired by the American catalogue image i thought i'd try to remain as faithful as possible - though some details are different - and the French buttons looked a bit like chocolate novelty buttons on the jacket. if i ever find some of this French fabric...- herringbonekid

a skinny tie will always look skinnier though, when placed between wide lapels. the question is: do you want to draw attention to your skinny tie or not ?- herringbonekid

i'm confused. are you referring to the skinny tie (which was posted in an earlier photo) ? you mean a dividing line between the left and right side of the upper body ?- herringbonekid

A Suit Study from Un Chien Andalou
two seminal art films in as many days ? keep it up chaps ;) (oddly enough i've just ordered L'Age D'Or by Bunuel and it has Un Chien Andalou on it.) i'm afraid i don't have any interesting observations about this suit apart from the fact it looks mid to late 20s rather than earlier.- herringbonekid

i like all of the looks except Jean Marais' last wide shouldered suit. that's Juliette Greco, French singer and darling of artistic Paris cafe society in the late 40s- early 50s. it's very likely that her hair style and black jumper look influenced the later stereotypical beatnik girl look...- herringbonekid
