    Show us their suits

    The early 1930s style is peerless in my opinion. The outfit on the left is in such perfect harmony. Love it!

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    Yes, I thought of some of the photos you posted when I saw these on the Giant Beard blog. A cool little detail that no one today will recognize as military.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    In case you did want a pair of *very* high waisted khakis, I do recommend WPG's offering. Mine arrived yesterday. They go up to the ribcage and have the quirky little buckle fastening. Very basic construction, but well made and proper durable fabric.

    Where to find high waisted pants for under $75

    I just ordered a pair of world war two pattern khaki trousers from What Price Glory after seeing this photo by Giant Beard, aka TTO on the fedora lounge: http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/a124544djw1eejtciaolxj20hs0hs0xk.jpg $45. Will tell you what I think when they arrive. I think the trick with...

    Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits

    Check out the film 'People on Sunday', (featuring non-actors, just everyday Berliners) there is a man wearing a similar outfit with the belt over a jumper.

    Sterkowski hats...opinions/experiences wanted please

    They are an old company with a rather nice story: ''Our company was founded in 1924 by anna sterkowska. It worked for 15 years. Small manufacture was ruined during the war. Founder of new manufacture, working under same name was zygmunt sterkowski, anna's son. Coming back from captivity in...

    Show off the sports coats.

    You have all confirmed what I was thinking, to stick with the first one and get the sleeves lengthened. Thank you! Agreed about rigid rules not taking into account the individual.

    Ever seen a pocket like this before? What is going on with the lapel? Looks like some sort of insignia, and quite worn.

    Great photo, this chap played in the first post-war German film 'There are murderers among us' have you seen it Fastuni?

    Show off the sports coats.

    A question for you. The advise you see online all the time about jacket length is, it should fit in your hands when you cup them at your sides. Now, I am usually happy with a shorter jacket as long as the sleeves are long enough. However I recently had the opportunity to buy two identical...

    Modern Day Style Icons

    Oh c'mon! You literally chose the worst photo. ;) And I don't think that's such a bad look all in all. maybe a bit too much with the bright beanie.

    Modern Day Style Icons

    Love Lynch! I was racking my brains trying to think of a modern style icon, couldn't come up with anyone. Finally I remembered Hooman Madjd, a political journalist who has incredibly good taste: He also has a style blog: http://thehouseofmajd.com/

    BOTH SIDES OF THE TWEED! - Show us your tweed suits, sport coats and pants

    I am surprised that tweed jackets with peak lapels are so rare! The nice thing is that it works well with the the sober tweed, gives it some 'edge'.

    Wearing suits casually

    Good thread. I will add that the more matt/rough the fabric is, the more natural it looks when worn casually, which is why vintage suits have an advantage here. Modern run of the mill business suits (especially super wool and shiny polyester blends) are definitely hard to wear casually, because...

    What are you wearing today??

    It might be best to use the timer on your camera, so that you can stand in a more relaxed way and we can see the fit of the clothes more clearly. I have seen that land's end jacket in the store, it's a nice one! very rich colours.
