    Retro Future

    Love the space suits! Very evocative of those old films.

    Thank God for Ralph Lauren

    Thanks for sharing the story- Ah, I recognise the guy, he has been photographed by the sartorialist I think. I had saved a few photos of him in the past, like his outfits.

    Does anyone else hate the 'Regards' signature

    Isn't that a bit much? People juggle with their friends and acquaintances perceptions of tact and etiquette daily, even without this type of nitpicking. I say, substance is more important than form in communication.

    You look great miss Slapstick! Very Christmassy. :)

    What are you wearing today??

    Good stuff. A very Harold Lloyd vibe. The all tweed outfit should be too much, but I love it!

    Yeah that looks weird. Almost like it's been distorted in photoshop! Those lapels are really extreme! He could stick a couple of solar panels on them.

    Need help to restore a M422/AN* jacket

    A bit of pecards is what you need. It will liven up the leather and darken the colour. No painting. ;)

    Looks good with the burgundy waistcoat. The beard does suit you! I've been told that a beard suits me, but I don't like the way they feel. :eusa_doh:

    Very nice. Great job keeping your grandfather's jacket serviceable!

    I suppose it would look silly between two 1940s extremely wide peak lapels on a db suit. Between two slim lapels, you have a clean, serious look. The guy in the film has a slightly quirky contrast going on with medium lapels and slim tie, which works for me (though the jacket appears too big)...

    Just that I don't think that the tie width needs be consistent with the lapel width. The guy is wearing a skinny tie.

    A couple more: I think that this shows that the rule that the tie width needs to match the lapel width needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The tie can be visually just a dividing line.

    The Cap Faction

    Glad you guys like it. Yes, Werner Herzog is my favourite director! Heart of glass is actually painful to watch, what with all the townsfolk going crazy and talking nonsense, but has some magical moments, and is of course beautifully shot.

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    The original owner would have been the German equivalent of the guys immortalised by 'The wild one'. There aren't many photos of 1930s-1950s German motorcyclists out there, has anyone seen any?

    The Cap Faction

    I've been looking for a good cap but did not want to spend much, and wasn't having much luck finding what I wanted. In the lower price ranges you commonly get things like stiff peaks, completely stitched down and indistinguishable from the brim. This is bad in my opinion because it gives the cap...

    Look at how wonderfully cut those trousers are. Minimalistic, boxy suit. Not normally a fan of those features, but this one looks superb on Jean Marais. Then, what wouldn't? He was clearly a man with very striking features. Hope you enjoy the photos.

    Just watched a superb french movie: Orpheus from 1950. I thoroughly recommend it. As far as clothes are concerned, I think there are some treasures in that department also: Lots of beatniky outfits, some make me think of late 1950s/early 1960s rather than 1950, very casual and 'anything goes'...

    That is really crazy, in how it combines the modern utilitarianism of the snap pockets and cafe racer throat tab, with the ancient ornamentation of those buttons and epaulettes.

    What are you wearing today??

    Sharp suit and tie Frank. Lid suits you too. Personally I prefer cuffed trousers with no break, but that's subjective! ;)
