    Show us their suits

    it looks like what i call a 'baby peak' where the edges have closed about half way towards a peak and stopped.

    do you mean a lapel that is horizontal rather than upward sloping ?

    Absolutely beautiful 1930s 3 piece suit

    as i was just saying on another thread.... this is one of those Brit suits with regular arms and legs but very short jacket length !

    1920's light blue belted DB overcoat

    in case anyone missed the sarcasm in my last comment; i still think it's a 40s coat. ;)

    1920's light blue belted DB overcoat

    i asked the seller if the coat had any date inside. quote: "no written date inside, however I've been in the costume/film industry a number of years and can assure you this is an original 1920s coat. Cheers" so there you have it; it's 20s. the man said it is.

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Q, will you do a suit for that price if you find someone ready to pay ?

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    thanks gents. Rudie, i'm often thinking: will i ever have stuff for sale ? and i'd like to one day, especially as i'm currently sick of my present job and would love to get into something else as i get older. as for the present moment, if someone offered me £1.5K to make them a suit i'd...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    thanks Shangas. usually the last thing i've made is my favourite... not because it's better than earlier stuff, but because it probably has the features i'm most currently interested in.

    here's the back yoke as it was just finished: and on the dummy, with fronts attached:

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    heres some shots of the most recent suit. it doesn't have the extreme narrow shoulder like this last one: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?34140-Gentlemen-show-us-what-you-ve-made!&p=1525159&viewfull=1#post1525159 ... but still a neat (moderate width) shoulder. the trousers...

    oops, i meant Adjustable Costume, not Reversible Costume... flat-top knew what i meant anyway. ;) as far as i'm aware they're not yet buyable on the interweb.

    1920's light blue belted DB overcoat

    it's the photos too TT. i like good clear photos, on a mannequin not a person in front of their house, who the garment doesn't fit. vintage clothing can easily look like junk if not displayed well. the seller Kompendium does it very well.

    1920's light blue belted DB overcoat

    they also have another jacket which i think is 20s but they call 40s. you know how everyone has an ebay seller who they find really annoying ? this one is mine.

    1920's light blue belted DB overcoat

    i'd like to know why the seller thinks this coat is 20s rather than 40s.

    interesting info Fastuni, thanks !

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    good finds Fastuni. that first one with the wide and very long lapels looks more 40s to me (because of the low button placement that makes the lapels look so long)... but you know more about German suits than me so maybe you've seen early 30s ones that are similar ? he's the German Baron Kurtz.

    Brooks Brothers Great Gatsby Collection

    thing is, it's only the niche brands like Old Town, Mr. Freedom, Reversible Costume etc who will get the details right because they're the ones who care about that stuff. the BB '20s' line is weak because no one there is really that bothered about the 20s, so it's just a half hearted pass. next...

    Brooks Brothers Great Gatsby Collection

    i agree. i guarantee that if the clothes we desire were plentiful and easily available, most of us obsessive types would lose interest and move onto something else that required the detective work.

    Brooks Brothers Great Gatsby Collection

    also, i'm an elitist snob... the last thing i want is to see 20s-30s-40s clothes available in Top Man. i like the fact that it's a niche, cultish interest and we have to work a bit harder to find modern equivalents, or make our own, start our own labels etc.
