    Great portraits of the International Brigade in Spain

    This might have been posted before, but I think it deserves it's own thread. Have a look at this website which features very striking portraits of volunteers in the Spanish civil war. http://dlib.nyu.edu/randall-photo/ The mix of civilian casual, workwear and military clothing that they...

    What are you wearing today??

    Good stuff, sort of an early sixties vibe to your style. Nice colour combo. My contribution for today, from sunday:

    Schott half belt leather jackets

    He said ''Unfortunately, these models are no longer available by Schott, only the 135 exist minus the buckles on each side back,''

    1930's German Shearling Short Jacket

    Great jacket. Do your hands fit in the side pockets?

    WONDERFUL vintage fashion in colour: Wartime German film

    I quite like the collar bar sans tie look.

    Show off the sports coats.

    Some of those 20s suits look remarkably like modern ones. Especially those in the first image posted by HBK

    Show off the sports coats.

    Firstly, thank you everyone for your time and feedback. Here are some full length photos to show my proportions, as suggested by TT. Tucked in shirt and wool trousers. Excuse the muddiness, I'm using my webcam at the moment. Let me know if these views change your views. If not, off...

    Show off the sports coats.

    My Greek Sport Coat arrived. I really like it. In particular I love the construction of the shoulders. A pleasant surprise was the chest pocket flap which was folded away in the seller's photos. The pocket lining has a strange pattern which looks like an imprint from the plaid shell. Odd. There...

    "Luftwaffe" jacket from Pegasus...anyone owned or seen in person?

    I think the pegasus Luftwaffe jacket is the most inspired of repros as far as the design is concerned: The zipped sleeves, cuff tabs and pocket tabs are modelled after the officially issued kanaljacke, the rest is inspired by the privately purchased jackets. I like the fact that it thought...

    Rather Stylish Black Overcoat

    Nice one! Normally I find single breasted coats a bit bland, but this one has a sort of understated, sinister look to it. It's the hidden buttons, shoulders and lapels.

    Wool Knit Vests / Waistcoats

    That pic of Woody Allen has made it clear to me: The key to not ageing is dressing like a grandad when you are still young. Then no one will tell the difference when your age matches the clothes. ;):D:eusa_clap

    Fishermen's sweaters site

    Yep! If you go a couple of pages back you'll see that mine has them. Kudos to Rudie for discovering some of the customisation options they offer.

    New fake Bomber

    You can try just wearing it around the house to break it in, and/or apply some Pecards leather dressing. In fact I think it will make your jacket look a bit less dry and distressed, and make the colour richer. It's a one off thing, you most likely won't need to reapply except in the distant future.

    Are peacoats Golden Era friendly?

    Agree with both the above! :D

    Lost Worlds Ryder finally a jacket that fits.

    And I want a brown one. It looks fabulous, the patina has a truly vintage look and the design is nicely understated.

    Interesting 1940s German biker jacket.

    'More useful things like a map/pipe' Haha, yes I think a pipe is far superior to cigarrettes for inducing a zen state of mind. ;)

    Pre-1950s British/European sportswear and leisurewear

    It should do! Can't read Finnish though unfortunately. Here's some stuff I found on Etsy, knitting pattern covers: I think the brown jacket on the left is absolutely perfect.

    Hair cuts

    best thing is to take a photo imho. If you are going for a short back and sides, tell him you want it long on top, emphasise the long part. No.1-3 on the sides with a fade. I think.

    New Mushmans x Jelado East West "Papaya" Jacket: Brace yourself!

    I like the bird one. You'd need the personality to match the jacket I reckon.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched the Hobbit. Very entertaining and love Martin Freeman as Bilbo, BUT: How is it possible, when the common complaint with movies is that they leave details from the book out, that Peter Jackson goes to the other extreme, and attempts to squeeze a trilogy out of a short book? I agree with...
