Good day Fedora Lounge, this is my first ever post here, I like the 1940s and 1950s fashion and after navigating through this forum I came to the conclusion that I don't know were to get similar clothes to this style. I don´t know if this kind of post should be written on other thread but I think this could also be an interactive space for people to discuss such attaire as well as a help for my lack of knowledge in vintage clothing, wardrobe building and staples of such era. I use vintage catalogues to take inspiration from, such as this
I have a couple high waisted lightweight wool trousers, two pullovers, a couple of ties, a spearpoint collar shirt and a fedora to my name. Unfortunately South Europe is not a place where is easy to get this style of clothing especially originals.
For now I'm trying to put together some businesses casual or leisure outfits, after trying to open some links from the "Start Here: Links to Important Threads" and needing admin privileges I decided to make a compilation of vendors for which you have experience for such clothes.
After a bit of research I have found some makers, but I would like to ask if you have any experience with any of them:
Chester Cordite: shirts, probably some trousers or sport coats and braces
Simon James Cathcart: trousers or socks
Froggy Went Courting: braces
Revival Vintage: shirts
Natty Shirts: found about them recently, unfortunately I don't know how to order and ask for the Savvy Journalist or how they fit.
Blackbird Reenactment: based in Poland they make almost anything from tie bars to overcoats
I came here to ask for suggestions for items like ties, shirts, slipovers (sweater vests), jackets, sport coats, trousers, etc. I don't intend to get everything at once but some pieces, a couple of trousers, shirts and a leather jacket or two tone leisure jacket for travel.
Something like this for trousers, a silver grey, a granite gray and a deco basket weave
Any help is appreciated
Cheers!
