    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    I have seen these breeches available on ebay, ebay.de and ebay.co.uk. They are East German and huge lots of them were released to the market when East and West Germany once again united. That wasn't a bad price and many have been sold, especially to motorcycle enthusiasts. It is...

    Jodhpurs / Breeches

    That wouldn't happen to be Michael Smith at Bernard Weatherill sporting tailors, would it? If so, here is a link to an article on them for starters. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/3304316/Real-breeches-of-trust.html Evan, I assume that you ride if you wear breeches as often as...

    1927 British Menswear IN COLOR

    Bellytank ---- "...20thC mens suits being, generally, of darker, or more muted colours" Just a thought. When one views film/movies from the eras prior to 1940 being black and white for the most part, I can understand how our view of color is relagated to the imagination. Being fascinated by...

    Why are wrinkles undesireable?

    Undesireable or not, I think it means you're old. Perhaps you need an ironing!

    Wall Street Crash of 1929 - 80 Years Ago This Month

    Nulty, very well said. I have also thought about the trials of our parents and grand-parents during the great depression. There was noone there to bail them out and the highest priority of life was shelter and food and other basic necessities. I am one generation removed from having...

    Formal Wear Primer

    Huh? From my position behind the big green post, why didn't you just say: "If you see examples of individuals wearing notched lapel dinner jackets, it is without a doubt an example of some faddy example of "fashion", not style" That would have accomplished the same thing, wouldn't it have?

    Thanks, Richard. Any idea where I might find a set of white cloth/pearl waistcoat buttons? Also looking for a set of black as well. I will probably pick up a set of each regardless to provide some flexibility.

    Formal Wear Primer

    I did pick up a nice self-tie bow tie for total $2.50 on the Bay and did also manage to buy a nice set of black onyx/silver colored shirt studs/cuff links for $3.50 (both include shipping). Any opinion on the waistcoat stud color? Would pearl/black both be appropriate or should the color...

    Formal Wear Primer

    I see that the prices of vintageshirt.co.uk shirts and collars are a bit pricey but their quality is quite exceptional. This is a factor for me but does not limit my selection in any way. I assume the single button jacket would be more acceptable so as not to limit the exposure of the...
