    Astrakhan collar overcoat - large size

    oh i know, but we all have our personal limits. also, you go down that route and you need a 1900 house decorated with Victorian decadante furniture, objet d'arts and taxidermy... the cost goes through the roof ! ;)

    Astrakhan collar overcoat - large size

    that's exactly what puts me off this type of coat. it's getting into monocle, silver-topped cane and spats territory. the dandy-eccentric line is one i don't cross. works for some though. ;)

    great film. thanks for the screenshots Metatron. my favourite outfit is the first one of Marius Goring's when he visits Anton Walbrook (3rd and 4th down). interesting to see a beard like that in 2nd photo (but then they are supposed to be boho students). i prefer the dingy London scenes at...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    Narodnik, interesting stuff; i've never used a computer program for pattern cutting. this is new to me, and there's nothing i can really tell you about the cut or construction as it obviously worked out well without any problems. i'm very impressed with the level of finish on your coat.

    thanks Rudie. i'd love to see a photo of the original owner wearing them, and to see what the rest of the outfit consisted of.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    good lord, those are operatic in excess. any date mentioned ? i could see them appealing to those modern hispters who have an Artful Dodger/Victorian gothic look.

    Turn of the Century Sack Suit

    a competent theatrical tailor could make that sort of suit. if you can't afford bespoke i would keep looking on ebay for a vintage one.

    Show us your British suits

    the shoulders on that one don't look so built up as the typical Brit 40s suit jacket, or is it just the photo ?

    Is this anything Interesting?

    i've seen 50s Hollywood / tropical jackets with pleats along the front yoke, but sports coats... no, but i can imagine it. ;)

    Is this anything Interesting?

    probably late 70s / early 80s does mid 50s going by the label you posted (i can't see the label when i view the etsy listing... not sure why, maybe a UK thing ?) could be worth buying for cap fabric !

    Is this anything Interesting?

    looks mid 50s in cut, but could be a later throw-back. the chest size and shoulder width don't add up though.

    Is this anything Interesting?

    busy Donegal tweed ? front shoulder pleats ?? you bet it's interesting !

    Show your more "exotic" origin garments

    it's hard to see a large group of men all in white without assuming they're in some sort of uniform (or at least dress code). are they some sort of club ?
