FS - Outstanding Vintage 1930s/1940s Stephen L. Stetson
This is one of those beautiful late 30s/early 40s numbers with a tall, square crown and a medium size brim in a very good condition. No moth bites or holes, no stains. I would not part with this lovely lid if it fit my head. But since I can pull it over my ears, this is your chance to pick up a...- Rudie

Denim Clearance Freddie's of Pinewood Selvedge
Freddie's of Pinewood are having a clearance. They offer seconds of their usual 1940s and 1950s men's jeans for £45 instead of £75. Still lots of sizes left and the denim is a nice heavy quality, pre-shrunk. http://www.freddiesofpinewood.co.uk/products.asp?cat=4- Rudie

Another AERO 1930s Slim Halfbelt/Luftwaffe Hybrid - Suggestions?
I'd love to hear your opinion about the jacket I'm about to order. My first jacket didn't turn out quite like I had envisioned it. The fit was off, resulting in a pronounced batwing effect. So here I go again... The first one was in brown HFQHH. This is it: This time I am going for a...- Rudie

HELP! Question about Aero 30s Halfbelt/Highwayman
Can anybody tell me the standard back lengths of a size 40 or 42 Highwayman and 30s Halfbelt? I always thought the Highwayman was shorter than the Halfbelt but Amanda said it's longer. Did she mix up the measurements? I tried on a Highwayman in 38 a while ago and it was very short. I wouldn't...- Rudie

Calling all owners of Aero 30s Halfbelts - Question regarding range of motion - Pics!
Can anybody of you 30s Halfbelt owners give me feedback about range of motion in your jackets? My jacket seems to have reasonably small armholes, but still there's a very pronounced batwing effect.

My New Bespoke Gray Flannels - Pictures! - What Do You Think?
Here's my newest acquisition. Trousers from a mid-gray 17oz. flannel by J. & J. Minnis. Very expensive cloth, but looks marvelous and has a wonderful hand. You won't believe how soft and light it feels when you wear it. The cut is pretty much copied from 1942 dated American trousers, except that... -
Invisible Weaver
Just to show you what an invisible weaver can do. I had this 1930s suit with a pretty large moth hole right on the front of the right thigh. About 5mm². Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures before I gave it to the invisible weaver. But I think you can get the idea. In the center of the... -

Bespoke trousers - extremely heavy vintage linen twill - a pictorial review
A few months ago I was fortunate to acquire some pretty heavy vintage natural linen twill. It weighs in at 17 oz. per square metre! That's even heavier than the usual 17 oz. as these fabrics tend to be 150 or 160 cm wide. The fabric is absolutely amazing. I went to a local trousermaker and... -
