    30s 40s PALM BEACH SUIT Double BREASTED BELTED BACK PLEATS 39-40

    a bit of grubbiness doesn't bother me when wearing white. i think you have to just accept it as part of the wrinkled overall look. i own a white SB linen belt back suit but wear it very rarely.

    30s 40s PALM BEACH SUIT Double BREASTED BELTED BACK PLEATS 39-40

    good point. i get the feeling they aren't very popular today as there seems to be a steady supply turning up for sale.

    30s 40s PALM BEACH SUIT Double BREASTED BELTED BACK PLEATS 39-40

    does anyone actually wear a white DB suit with any kind of regularity (i.e. outside of a once or twice a year vintage event) ? i'm genuinely interested.

    odd jackets with a large overcheck: for spring and summer you can't get much more versatile than this: modern, 30s inspired one spotted by the Sartorilaist: (i'm a bit of an odd jacket nut, i must admit.)

    New to Sport Coats

    absolutely, though for me it would have to have metal buttons and a crest on the pocket to really bring up those associations. there are lots of other single breasted sports jacket styles that could be had in navy without looking like an old boy networker*.... belted back with pleated patch...

    New to Sport Coats

    i couldn't find a good colour vintage example so here's Ethan (the man for contemporary classic) of the Armoury in a navy blazer: p.s. somehow a navy blue blazer has managed to elude me in nearly 16 years of vintage buying. i have three navy suits, one orphaned (pinstripe) navy...

    1920s suits

    pretty sure the inspiration would come from military. the amount of men's clothing features that have been taken from military clothing would make a whole thread in itself.

    1920s suits

    TT, yes. the flapped, double breast pockets and lapped seam trousers were an inspiration for this suit: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?34140-Gentlemen-show-us-what-you-ve-made!/page38 ...although i now see from the photo Barmey posted above that it's a close set three button...

    i haven't seen the slanted fade revived yet by the younger generation: anyone here tried it ?

    1920s suits

    this one ? the colours are similar, but the scale of the herringbone is different. the herringbone on mine is tiny.

    i don't know what it is about Edward Green leather but it always looks like that of a much cheaper shoe to me.

    according to the John Lobb site, their bespoke shoes start at £3090, and crocodile shoes at £9256. given these prices i suppose the winner of the second hand crocs in the above auction got a bargain. (bespoke shoe prices seem divorced from reality. i'm sure they double them every few years)
