    Vintage SHORTS!

    Good thread and ideal for the current weather. Some 'obscene' shorts looks from the film 'Black Narcissus' (1947) which are driving the nuns bonkers. I like the improvised 'bandana belt' or whatever it might be, plus the shirt with the cut off sleeves. Just goes to show that the...

    Share your own art here :)

    Good to see some aviation art Matt and Dave! Matt I prefer your style over some big names in the genre, who tend to load the paintings with detail and miss out on the feel of flight and movement which you have captured beautifully.

    Vintage Workwear

    Incredible that they made such beautiful trousers with the expectation that they will be trashed.

    What Are You Reading

    To the victor the spoils by our very own Two Types. A fascinating book about the everyday lives of British soldiers in the closing phases of world war two. From their civilian lives before, to volunteering or being drafted, into battle. Particularly fascinating for me, as my grandfather was...

    What are you wearing today??

    And the shoes! Some people are fervent opposers of the white shoe, but to me there's nothing fancy about them, they look neutral and understated...

    Hollywood Jackets

    The blue one is my favourite. I think the simplicity of the pattern lends it self to showing off interesting fabrics.

    'Frankenstein's Army'

    This looks good, not least because apparently it's all costumes and makeup, no cgi. :eusa_clap Has decent reviews on rotten tomatoes too.

    WONDERFUL vintage fashion in colour: Wartime German film

    Great images, and they might as well have been taken in London or New York, people had more in common with each other than the politics of the time would admit.

    Well, clearly you are going to wear a shirt open collared some of the time. I think with two buttons undone you don't see much chest hair and it looks good. But then I don't agree that showing an undershirt is bad either. As long as the colour doesn't clash with the shirt and you are well...

    Show us their suits

    My first thought was that the glasses belonged to one of his friends.

    What's the deal with these, 79 or 53?

    Great label:' As new as the times!' If the aircraft in the label is meant to suggest 'cutting edge' as per the label, than it's from the 1950s, because it looks like an early jet. It's a bit hard for me to look at that suit and not think 'karate'

    Is chivalry dead?

    I think unisex courtesy is the way to go, and I'll add that it's obviously good to be 'chivalrous' to people you feel real affection for and who have earned it. I find old fashioned chivalry towards people just because of their sex a bit sickly sweet, and many people I've met who practice it...

    Oh man I spotted a perfect one today. Hmm I think I should be the sartorialist for old men. ;) Mustache, grey Pleated trousers, powder blue sports coat with parachutist pin on the lapel, yellow shirt with massive collar worn open over the lapels. Perfect 1950s look! That man is truly...

    Teddy Bear Motoring Coat

    What is the material used in these? ''This is marked size 40 but laid flat dimension of chest is 42" (to allow for clothing to be worn underneath!'' Ermmm... No.

    New to Sport Coats

    ^They look great with colourful knitwear, probably moreso than a tweed jacket does. More contrast:

    What are you wearing today??

    Very cool and understated Great look, and that cap suits you. The pose and background makes me think of those 'for the working man!' Communist propaganda posters.

    1920s suits

    Those 'military' pocketed jackets are great, very casual.

    I feel sorry for anyone who has to wear a jacket in this weather!

    New to Sport Coats

    My favourite styles are grey/black herringbone, or grey/brown with coloured flecks, because to my eye they look more appropriate for town. I agree with Fastuni in that I'm not a big fan of olive tweed, or anything that is mossy/mud/country influenced. The 'farmer' association will be too...
