    Brooks Brothers Great Gatsby Collection

    i've also seen a lot of British suits with short jackets. going by the back length of 28" you'd think the suit would be a short, but no, the sleeves are 25" and the inside leg is 31" which is a Reg length. anyway, jackets in the early 20s - at least in America - were on the long side, so these...

    Simonds Caps

    here's a revised version of the 20s one with different top (hopefully any 'burger' connotations have gone) and slightly re-drawn cap: ... here's some more. these have more of a workwear feel i think: i tried some colour to see how it might work printed on paper / packaging etc.

    Simonds Caps

    drat, i wish you hadn't put that image in my mind. (similarity to an existing burger logo ?) ... the shape of the cap could be refined to look less burger like.

    Simonds Caps

    Simonds, these ideas are inspired by the above suggestion from Johnny J ^, and have a sort of early 20s feel: these aren't 'finished'... if you like either i'll clean up the linework.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    here we go: this is a pair of 30s-40s French orphaned suit trousers, although you mainly see the waistband tape used in workwear. if i was doing a 'dressy' suit i wouldn't use it, but for tough tweed or workwear i like it. more, used in the 20s mini-herringbone suit: i imagine there are...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    no, don't worry Fastuni, i'd never use an elastic waistband. horrible stuff ! it's basically a big roll of fancy cotton tape. i wouldn't have even known what it was until i saw it in some vintage French trousers (will post a pic soon). more shots of the suit here...

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    decided to try frog mouth pockets on my most recent suit. i like them for a change, but they're not as easy to slip your hands into.

    Wool Knit Vests / Waistcoats

    ^ don't think it's as good as their last one (on the previous page... and that i STILL want).

    agreed. they're a bit rough.

    Tweed Suit - 1932 - Size 38

    i'm a 37 chest, and the jacket is exactly what i would expect for that size (the shoulders are slightly narrow), but should be fine for a 36 with waistcoat under jacket.

    Pencil Mustache

    i tried a tache once after shaving off a feeble almost-beard to see how it might look. it gave me the possibility of looking deeply serious, sleazy, caddish, devilish or comical (or a combination of any of those) depending on which expression i pulled. i hadn't expected a strip of hair to be...

    SOLD----1930s DB Windowpane Jacket -size 38

    if i could count the number of times i've asked sellers "is (38) the actual pit to pit measurement or the estimated chest size ?"

    Simonds Caps

    well, i'm not the client, Simonds is, so it's up to him. just my take. ;) what do you mean you 'used a vintage logo' ?

    Simonds Caps

    Wiser Hatter, i'm not feeling it. it doesn't come across as vintage enough. if you plan on using a diamond then it's the perfect opportunity to warp the text to fit into the diamond shape.

    NOS 1930's chocolate brown newsboy cap

    speaking of logos (as we were in Simond's thread) that is a great one !

    Brooks Brothers Great Gatsby Collection

    reminds me of the more standard Ralph Lauren lines (not RRL); take some elements of an era but graft them onto a modern cut.
