    Combining seperates

    Separates also look less 'weird' to 'normal' people ;), and after all, if I wore a suit on a day to day basis I wouldn't have any way to 'top' it on a special occasion. I love that illustration FFF, casual, stylish and pretty timeless looks except for the plus fours!

    Pendleton shirts

    It's funny cause one of the ones i'm considering has short sleeves. You'd think that short sleeves and wool are contradictory, but then I suppose if you layer on top of it it is still a valid winter garment.

    Pendleton shirts

    Thanks for your advice, I will be careful with the measurements. As far as proper care is concerned, do you hand wash them?

    very nice SB 1940s suit Small sized

    I like the way the brown buttons look against the grey background. I think I will sew some brown buttons on my grey pinstripe suit jacket.

    Vintage Electric Neck Tie Re-Nu-er ~ Tie Press

    This was the beginning of unnecessary consumerist clutter! Nice decorative detailing though.

    Pendleton shirts

    sizing Hello pendleton fans, I've got my eye on a couple of used shirts online. I am between medium and large 40/42, Any tips on sizing? Do they fit true to size?

    Show us their suits

    True! Although I think a plain shirt and non-striped tie would be more 'harmonious'. If one wears such a bold outfit for casual occasions, what would you save for best I wonder?? :D

    Vintage Workwear

    Excellent photo. One guy is wearing two tone shoes as well. @Fastuni, I work in a manual job at the moment and wouldn't think of wearing those trousers to work! But I guess if that kind of quality was the norm in workwear they just took it for granted. :mad:

    Books about WW2 from a German perspective

    For the aviation enthusiasts there is 'I flew for the Fuhrer' by Heinz Knoke, a war diary by a Luftwaffe ace mostly on the Western front. Very riveting read, though definitely affected by the propaganda of the time (We had to invade Russia because the Soviets were poised to attack us) Not...

    Pensioner Chic

    Totally agree, just goes to show that things generally don't appear out of nowhere. Then again, there are also polyester cargo trousers and hoodies... Btw this is the sort of look I see older gentlemen sporting in my area: [screenshot taken from a documentary about the Bristol Beaufighter] I...

    My Collection ...so far. Cafe Racer, Detroit & Teamster

    Good stuff, I like the racer the best. As to why you prefer the Detroit over a perfecto... It's more subtle, no studs or belts. I think that a jacket should have one unusual/stand out feature, in this case it's the asymmetrical cut, no need for any more crazy details. Personal preference!
