    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Nick, on my cream linen suit i didn't use any stay tape, but then it's top-stitched approx 5mm from the edge which (in my opinion) adds more than enough firmness to the front edge. i've never made my own tape so wouldn't like to say.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Barmey, the work in progress looks great. if you want a bit of sage old advice which you didn't ask for but are going to get anyway; i think it's good to do a suit that's maybe on the conservative side before tackling something more adventurous. pace yourself a little bit. don't be in too much...

    Vintage Spade Sole Shoes

    who said WILD ? .... just something with a bit of interest. nearly every shoes-up-on-desk photo that has appeared in the shoe threads is sorely lacking in the sock department. bland socks detract from good shoes just as much as vulgar, over the top socks. oh, and thinner socks too please...

    thanks gents, TT, US ebay of course. i've been looking for a jacket or suit from the 1918-23 period for a long time so i'm glad to finally have one to study. i was also expecting to be using it as 'design inspiration' for my own projects. you might be surprised to hear that after trying it...
