FiftyforFifty:
It always seemed to me that the men in old adverts were wearing such similar suits that they seemed like a 'young gentleman's uniform'! Typically boater, skinny suit and some wild shirt/tie combinations. That is what I tried to emulate :)
FashionFrank:
Looking good! I am...
HBK well it was worth a shot. :D
fiftyforfifty Cheers! Thats a Peter Jackson Orange label. I'll grab a photo of the DB waistcoat soon!
On the subject, this is an outfit I assembled tonight in anticipation of summer. This is probably my most authentic 1920s-inspired uniform. Tall collar...
I like your summer style HBK!
Would love to see a boater added!
I took coffee with some pals, here I am wearing a new window pane flanel suit (with fantastic DB waistcoat), and my Akubra homburg;
My friend's ridiculously adorable pup fit right in my hat!

Great find! It looks fantastic.
Also nice to see another Aussie here! Even if you are a damned NSWite! :D
Isn't the winter great! I'm not ready for summer at all. You Americans can keep it!

Hello all!
A buddy of mine recommended I ought to start posting the little musings I draw from time to time.

itsbruce The event looks great! I only wish everyone would dress like that all the time! (Maybe not summer though.)
LadyBaltimore Another series of great outfits!
Its getting a little colder in Melbourne now which doesn't really bother me because hey... Coats!
This is a new suit; nothing...
Thanks for the kind comments all. :) The boater is a favorite of mine!
LadyBaltimor Thankyou! Its a favorite show of mine; it actually inspired me a little to dress the way I do. Some of Nucky's suits are amazing...
HamilcarBarca3 your suit/boater combination looks fantastic!
Hyena Stomp that outfit with the white trousers really is sporting! Great combo.
LadyBaltimore the gingham dress looks beautiful; great look!
I wore this outfit today, though with a flatcap instead of a boater. The pic's from a shoot...
Looks great! How thick was the paper used? I like those tall collars, it'd be great is paper proved to be a viable material so I could just about use any collar style I wanted! The alternative being, of course, buying the Darcy washables!

Hi folks!
Thought the more knowledgeable members of this community might be able to help me with a query;
Having no detachable collars of my own and being eager to try the look, I did some reading and discovered the mention of paper detachable collars being used at some point in the 19th...
I like to keep my style throughout the year, and its been so long since I wore shorts in public that I just can't remember!
Essentially, I tend to follow these rules:
Temperature Attire
0-10 Degrees C Three-Piece (Wool blends, often a knitted vest, tweeds), Overcoat, Gloves...
