    Show us your suits

    Recently purchased this blue 3 piece suit of unknown make and year. Size is 42Long. It appears to be British made but there is no maker tag. The vest button panel and inside tab are unique. Perhaps you can review and provide some feedback as to country of origin and year of mfg. Thanks, Dennis

    Formal Wear Primer

    Fluteplayer07, I have a similar 30s perioid tux and, although it might be ok to wear a white waistcoat with this tux, I do believe that this black waistcoat is quite nice as is. In order to gain a 30s/40s look, if that is your goal, I would suggest looking for a collarless stiff front bib tux...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I have two vintage (1920s) formal bib shirts with rear buttons. On my two shirts, there are two buttons and the collar stud. The top buttons are about 6 inches below the collar stud and the second (lower) button is just below the middle of my back. Both buttons are very easily accessed. As...

    Show us your Guns!

    Thanks for sharing the Mexican engraver info. I had guessed as much and know that it wan't Colt engraved. You wouldn't happen to have some reference material for the mexican engravers, would you? Any follow up would be very interresting to say the least. I would love to see some photos of...

    Coin collection

    I would also suggest an auction house. Regardless of what you think the grade is, even if you are accurate, dealers will always downgrade your or actual grading by at least one full grade and even more if they can get away with it. They count on the ignorance of the seller. An auction house...

    Formal Wear Primer

    [/IMG] I have been collecting components of a full dress outfit for some time and have finally completed the set. The shirt is a vintage Rochester starched bib with Marcella waistcoat and self Tie. The tail suit is 55% polyester and 45% Wool blend and was a perfect fit on receipt. All...

    Single or Double Breasted Suits?

    I am 6' 185lbs. I have several double breasted suits and do like the look. That being said, I really prefer the single breasted 2 button vested suit. I do wish that the high rise suit pants would come back into fashion so that they wouldn't show below the vest so long as the vest is of the...

    What do you do for Living?

    I got laid off in 2003 and starting working for my self contracting and playing around with web design and graphics. These were my two dream jobs but, unless you had a degree or better in both, there was no chance of ever finding a job in these fields. In May of 2010 I found that we would need...

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    Mike. I have owned several pair of 19-20" riding boots over the years and should remind everyone that the initial height of the boot may interfere with the knee at first but, with wear and use, they will lose 1-2 Inches of height as time passes and with the inevitable wrinkling that occurs at...

    Vintage Workwear

    I can understand the marketing issues related to the discontinuing the mfg of high quality flared breeches. I personally love them for riding and, Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find manufactureres of them now. When times get tough, there is nothing tougher for working outdoors than...
