    Palm Beach Neckties

    thanks Dinerman, i must say i'm surprised that Beau Brummell didn't begin til 1936; i would have thought some of the BB designs i've seen are earlier than that. anyone have a 1920s Palm Beach tie ? better yet, a 1920s Palm Beach tie they want to sell ?

    The Preppy Handbook... Returns!

    Reproduction classic workwear

    Baron, the ones i've seen on ebay have 'Levi Strauss' embroidered on the label under 'Sunset'... that one being a 'sample' might have been an unused design ? ... and could also be rare.

    'Working class hero' movies

    Metatron, did you see 'Hotel du Nord' yet ? it pretty much forms a trilogy of Marcel Carne´ 1930s 'poetic realism' films with 'Jour se Leve' and 'Quai des Brumes'.

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Barmey, any idea what 50 metres would cost ? p.s. the lining above is from an Edwardian frock coat that seller 'Style Service' has on ebay.uk... there are other nice ones too, but that was the most unusual.

    Today's Thought for the Day

    Today's Thought for the Day

    you mean parents as role models ? role models often skip a generation; that's why many young 20 somethings are rediscovering the style and culture of their grandparents, and turning their back on what their parents represent.

    i'm going with cord; they have that 'velvety' look that cord can have in photographs.

    College wardrobe

    flat-top, it could be. looking through Sears ads of the time, some of the fabrics that fit the bill are: cotton twill, cotton duck (which is basically canvas) or corduroy.
