    What kind of suit is this?

    That suit and the shoes remind me a lot of the one Christopher Reeve wears in the movie "Somewhere in Time"...

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Personally, my main gripe with today´s fabric selection is that if you want a really good heavy weight fabric you have to break the bank, whereas back then it was more available... If you're on a budget you can't even dream of getting your hands on nice fabric and i nstead have to get the so...

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    I've never seen suitings like that... I certainly want (at least) one of those! The Terracota Chalk stripe looks absolutely fabulous! Would make an amazing 20's suit...

    The DB of the guy in the first pic... That button stance is really closely spaced, is it from the 20s? I really like the way it looks.

    RL Tweed Trousers---Close, But No Cigar

    It's weird... The rear adjuster tab looks as though if somebody had it reattached and made a terrible job out of it....

    That is great! I am from Mexico City, where I've lived my entire life. Any idea as to what happened to the cadillac? Could you post pics of that 50s tee? I've always wondered how did those look in the flesh...

    Are all "Supers" really "SUPER"???

    What I don't like about these fabrics is that they are made from "SUPER" numbers to be "SUPER" luxurious and to wear out "SUPER" fast... and I believe that we live in a day and age where we could easily produce something a lot more resistant and better made, but instead all we have is stuff that...

    DamianM I never noticed your Avatar Picture before... Acaso eres Mexicano, de casualidad? You are right about his style, and actually one of his most famous looks was the tight fitting striped Tee. What I wonder is exactly why did the film costumiers decided to use those wide shoulder pads... He...

    M2N's Very First Custom Suit

    Thank you very much, I really like it. For the time being i'll call that detail the armpit pad :P What I found curious was that the pockets in my grand uncle's suit are constructed in a similar way... And this is a detail that the tailor showed me way before I decided to use his services...

    1920s suits

    I think a heavy wool over 12 ounces would be good, but I'm sure others could give a better advice. Congratulations on your birthday! BTW, just a heads up... I hade a couple of trousers tailored to fit when I was 16 and I thought they were gonna fit for a very long time... But as soon as I...

    Is liking suits so much a sign of craziness?

    you know... I never actually thought of it that way... Too bad there are no FLoungers in my side of the world, as far as I know...
