    30's vintage Prince of Wales Check Dbl.Breasted 3piece Suit, 36

    36 - 38 is fairly common with UK 30s-40s vintage. this suit sold a couple of months ago; the buyer is obviously re-selling it as it didn't quite fit him. if i remember correctly it sold for about £220.

    if you can afford it you might want to go to Italy. loads of tailors there favour neat, unpadded shoulders. the dropped shoulder seam is basically a hang over from the Victorian era, and fizzled out by the mid 20s in the US, and the mid 30s in the UK. i've heard a couple of different...

    their trousers seem oddly short for wide legged trousers.

    1920s suits

    i'm still a big fan of the neat top - wide bottom silhouette of the 30s (especially with jacket off so the contrast is even more extreme i.e. wide trousers with tight tank top and shirt). my recent interest in the early 20s is really just to give myself another option, and explore a new area. we...

    TT, i would also guess prison. the placement of the label seems too brutal for it to be anything else.

    Kays Clothing Catalogue

    too true. my personal feeling is that British men's style had a crisis of confidence and lost it's way in the 50s as it tried to copy the US. you get many poor quality dacron-polyester versions of the American 'atomic' shirts, and the suits don't seem to know whether to be bold or continental...

    i have no idea what the original use of this jumper was, but it's dated 1928 and looks military, prison or sport. anyone seen one before ???

    Kays Clothing Catalogue

    there's a definite American influence once you get into the 50s, especially noticeable in the casual wear. the suit illustrations seem to be aiming for a 'bold' look. i must say most of the suits of the 40s and 50s don't resemble British suits i've actually seen in real life. they look too wide...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    Luxire trousers

    those look great. the denim and military combo reminds me of certain French workwear trousers.

    i'm envious of your haul Baron ! what length is the short brown one ? (did Aero leathers take their name from the zips ?)

    not sure. it was more the very hard edged fades (or lack of 'fade') that i found interesting.
