1920s suits

it's the collar which is odd rather than the lapels, as the collar edge is horizontal (or slightly down sloping) rather than upward sloping. you see this quite a lot in early 20s catalogues:- herringbonekid

nice suit Baron. belted backs in conservative pinstripe fabrics seem to be much rarer than belted backs in the more 'sporty' fabrics.- herringbonekid

eBay: 1920s Middishade Blue Serge 3 Piece Suit
that's a shame (it's confusing keeping track of the suit traffic on here sometimes) ;) good luck with the sale. p.s. are you sure the waistcoat is only a 28" chest ? that seems too small. you might have measured it in an odd way. usually people will require the widest measurement under the...- herringbonekid

1920s DEADSTOCK Black Striped 3 Piece
the trouser hems are a very narrow 6.5" which -if correct- would suggest early 20s. the jacket looks quite wide around the middle and the trousers are a 36... a semi-stout size ?- herringbonekid

Adult Boys
there's really two separate strands in the UK: the 'chav' culture who wear sportswear / trainers religiously, which has its roots in the 'casual' look of the early 80s. this group are the ones who would have been working in factories before they were all closed down, and now have practically...- herringbonekid

entirely depends on how you define 'superior'. if they mean ultra light weight, fine yarn, soft as shirting feel ... then yes, it's superior.- herringbonekid

the LL range by Fox are as good in my opinion (as far as flannel goes). they're basically reproduced from the original 30s archive. sadly at £120 a metre they are beyond my budget.- herringbonekid

some vintage Kay's catalogue scans on the subject of flannels: 1923. note the use of the terms ; 'extra stout' (read: heavy) and 'serviceable all the year around' (read: 'we're British. we wear heavy any season') 1928. no mention of weight here unfortunately : 1930. 'super...- herringbonekid
