figured there might be some interest.
The cleaners did not forewarn me of anything, but I instructed them to be very cautious, hand wash, and don't press. They pretty much did everything I told them not to, then tried to say they didn't. The facings were a duller satin, on the edges it came off in spots to wear the canvas was showing.
I dropped my 1920's tuxedo off at the dry cleaners. It was in near perfect condition, I have literally never came across something that fit me better. I strictly told them not to press it under any circumstances, and informed them of it's age. They cleaned my other suits fine. They completely...
I was so close to buying that, but it was in such rough shape that I don't think anyone in my local area could mend it. Please let me know how it turns out.
Putting my hands in the pockets (with thumbs out), feels natural to me. I usually do it when standing in one place for a decent amount of time, but when I sit or walk I pull the flaps back out.
So unspeakably classic. It's all business, but so elegant. It's got flair, it doesn't blend in with the other navy suits and conservative ties. :eusa_clap
I won best dressed at my high school a few months back and wanted to share the photo, excuse the bad quality. I'm wearing a 1940's brown wool tie, a white cotton dress shirt, 1930's collar pin, modern red v-neck sweater, a 1945 Naval Cadet Blazer, red duck pattern socks, cordovan loafers, and...
I'm a high school student, and I do my best to look vintage everyday. I even won best dressed and I've influenced some other people. I usually wear dress shirts with v neck sweaters, dark 501's or wranglers, with loafers and dress socks. I have other military surplus and Nordic sweaters that I...
For cheap Jeans that last Rigid Cowboy Cut Wranglers do good if you're afraid to mess with selvage. http://www.wrangler.com/store/WRG_STORE_US/en_US/style/13mwzr.html
If you're not a cowboy and cuff rather than stack they look quite nice for everyday wear.
That's what I suspected, the zipper is definitely 50's, but I could hope it had been added. The leg opening is also a little much, and the size is a little larger than the jacket. The color matches well, but I might make a separate listing. It is a very lovely jacket and vest nonetheless. I'm...
Never mind it, I'm convince the pants are 1950's, I'll create a separate listing, thanks for helping me realize. There were some obvious signs that I overlooked. I thought the zipper could have been added, but the overall cut of the pants screams 50's other than their flat front.

I finally got the listing up for anyone that was interested in seeing it. I'm not too familiar with the price range of jackets sold for patterns, so I will also take offers by private message.
