    German tourist ad from 1939

    Incredible footage, thanks for posting. Very sad to think that everything would be turned into rubble in ten years.

    1930 Spiegel Catalog scans

    Some of my favourite scans yet... What was imitation leather made from in those days? Vinyl?

    Shirt collar oddities - Boardwalk Empire Shirt Collars

    That looks a bit silly... Though I might not have noticed if he was actually pointing those two guns at me. ;)

    My new "Alexander leathers" Dakota in Black Goat

    Very nice indeed! Did you specify that you wanted a slim fit? Seeing as you have jackets from all these different makers, would you say that there are any 'highlights' in your collection? :)

    Great photo! On another note, I'm beginning to see that nothing beats boots from the 1920s. :)

    Good point, they don't seem to work well with a jacket on top. Shame that 'jumper weather' is quite limited, in the UK either it's freezing or it's raining! :rolleyes:

    Getting the wavy hair look ala Cagney

    :D I have a slightly onorthodox method which works great for me: I never use shampoo or conditioner, but one hour before having a shower I massage olive oil into my hair. Then I wash it out with a bit of soap, so the surface isn't greasy, but the hair has absorbed the oil and is left silky...

    What does one wear as an outer layer on top of a shawl collar jumper?

    What are you wearing today??

    Looks like your mates have something of a vintage sense of style too. Looks a bit like an 'On the Waterfront' theme. :) I like your mate's Harrington/plaid coat look.

    French Catalog Scans: Belle Jardiniere

    I think that jacket exemplifies the design of the era perfectly. Makes such a statement without half a dozen pockets.

    The Cap Faction

    Hullo again, I'm still searching for a good cap. Cordova, Hepville, Hat people. Any other brands I should be aware of? I'm looking for something made out of wool that is reasonably similar to this http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x286/metatron_123/Screenshot2012-12-08at074811.png I...

    Vintage Finnish Leather Jackets

    Great photos. I never would have guessed that the second photo was an Axis(aligned) pilot.

    trousers look great!

    Have you ever gotten into a heated argument with a "tailor"?

    This is surprising, showing the cuffs isn't just a vintage thing, I would have thought it's common knowledge. I went to have a jacket's sleeves shortened today, and as I saw the tailor was showing some cuff himself, I knew I was safe. :)
