The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Flo, yes, there's always the danger with this sort of jacket that it will end up looking like a 1970s cord safari jacket, which the RL one has fallen into. as well as trying to stick closely to the original, i also plan on wearing it with a heavy 20s style; flat cap, bow tie, balmoral boots, to...- herringbonekid

Rudie, i think you're more concerned with the practicality of this suit than i am. my initial response on seeing the catalogue image (Charles Williams, Fall Winter 1920-21) was along the lines of "wow, i want one of those !"- herringbonekid

The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Rudie, i assume it's a way to add more warmth to a jacket while keeping the slippery feel of a standard rayon lining. i don't think wool fleece / blanket would be suitable for a more tailored jacket as it would ruck against clothing underneath, and also add too much bulk. anyway, i'll be able...- herringbonekid

wow, that's almost a separate jacket inside-out as lining. the leather i'm using for the body of the cord suit is much thinner. thanks for the photos !- herringbonekid

Any Magazines Still Out There?
the only 'vintage' themed magazines i've bought are Men's File and Free and Easy. Men's File is mainly clothing focussed, with some features on bikes or cars, but you won't find much on bands / music or nights out etc. it's heavily photo-shoot orientated. Free and Easy is Japanese which makes...- herringbonekid
