    Golden era mug shots - Newcastle.

    The vast majority of them are listed as 'labourer'. Wait, what happened to all the upper class criminals? ;) These photos also show that imho in the 30s it was hard to go wrong with clothes, at least regarding the general style. No ugly ski-jackets, garish t-shirts and gym trousers were around...

    Widening trousers? A tip from the German Air Force

    Hello, this is a quote from 'Luftwaffe Air and Ground Crew 1939-1945' from Osprey Publishing: ''Tuchose(trousers) would be soaked in warm water, with wooden boards forced into each leg, and then left to dry. The desired silhouette was a close-fitting jacket and baggy trousers'' Sounds like...

    Russia posts Katyn Forest documents

    Finally! Unfortunately, to this day many people are not aware that the Stalinist regime was every bit as oppressive as the National Socialists in Germany. In fact where I live, many lay-leftists seem to think Stalin was some kind of heroic figure. Perhaps because he was so instrumental in...

    Dyeing military items?

    Hello, it has occurred to me that I am accumulating a fair bit of military surplus, due to the fact that it's abundant, often deadstock vintage and cheap. Therefore my wardrobe might be on the verge of turning too green. :) Do you reckon it's possible to successfully dye olive green cotton any...

    What are you wearing today??

    +1! Old school Britain all the way!

    Show us your suits

    I would definitely wear those separately but never together! Nice buttons.

    Rock a black blazer casually

    Looks like the original poster has taken all your feedback and done a runner, putting it to good effect wooing the ladies. :o For what it's worth, I very much like this look sported by japanese designer Koji Norihide (originally posted by Herringbone kid in the Fair Isle sweater thread)...

    Rock a black blazer casually

    Ditto on the 'don't wear jeans with a blazer'. I've got a question: Black corduroy sport coat + corn coloured corduroy trousers. Acceptable? Or just too much corduroy? :rolleyes:

    Mint 1940's German Motorcycle Cowhide Jacket - Large

    Nice jacket. I seriously doubt it's 40s though, mid to late 50s more like it?

    Amazing 30s-40s leather jacket Size approx 36-37

    Huh, I would have dismissed this one as a 'hippy era' jacket if I didn't examine the details. Very unusual for sure.

    Deerskin Grizzly Jacket Repro

    Just to play devil's advocate here, could it be that they just need breaking in to look right?

    Clear vintage Raincoats

    Well what do you know, another sighting, this time in 'Brighton Rock'

    What are you wearing today??

    +1 I find that with the asymmetrical cut, the fewer additional details the better.

    Nice jacket! I recommend 'Pecard'.

    Hm didn't realise tattoos were so common. Thanks for posting!

    girls in guy's garb

    I think that the ladies should tread carefully in this territory, because it's not a look that is easy to pull off. I find that musician Janelle Monae pulls it off because she sticks with it, and it's her trademark. She owns it. She doesn't just throw on some baggy trousers and a tie willy...

    Ardenne tour

    Thanks, good thread! 'The Tiger II at La Glieze. After it was knocked out, the U.S. army used it for bazooka target practice and to see if the shells would piece the armor. They didn't.' The armour on that thing is unreal.
