What are you wearing today??

[Mario]

you should see the plans for the next one (I cut the pieces today), and then the one after that (bought the fabric today) with the horsehide :eusa_doh:.

The Department For The Development Of The Textile Industry and the Bureau For Experimental Archeology want to award you the title 'Hero Of Labour' for you unprecedented forays into pre-industrial days:

Love the look!!

 

[Mario]

Which?

 

[GoldenEraFan]

I'm really liking this look! It's very '20s and yet feels very up modern and fresh at the same time! What kind of jacket is that and where'd you find it?

 

[Dinerman]

Hat is a '20s Knox. Coat is a modern reproduction by "Obey" clothing (the model name is "basin"), shirt is a club collar by Ralph Lauren, tie is '30s.

Wow, I really like that jacket Dinerman. I notice they are not very expensive, and look very practical. If you don't mind me asking, what size is yours? I notice, most are medium, I am down to 190, but think a medium may be a bit tight still.

 

[Dinerman]

Mine's a "M". It has a 42" chest, so about a size 38. If I were to do it again, I probably would have sized up to a L so I could have room underneath for a jacket or a sweater.


Yesterday in VA. Brown's Beach jacket repro, chinstrap workshirt repro, '30s "Personality Cap"

Great jacket Dinerman, liking the blogs, you or you family in the 'rag trade'? I only ask as when I was a nipper BITD my mates grandfather had been a rag and bone man and although he was semi retired he still had some great stuff so much in fact that much of his 3 bed house and outbuildings were full of the stuff, we used to go often as pre teens to find 'army stuff' amongst his bits and pieces....sadly when he passed on they ordered in 3 skips for the stuff!

Don't pay any mind to the crazed look on my face. It was very early and I hadn't had my coffee yet lol

hope you dont mind me saying this but IMHO you would look better without that splayed shirt collar, I would say a bow tie would be perfect,

Just me. I started buying and selling vintage clothes shortly after joining the Fedora Lounge to support the clothes and hats I was buying for myself. Things have sort of ballooned since then.

Great shot Dman!
But I like your fedoras better.
And you have some fine ones!

I prefer a tie, myself, not necessarily a bow tie, as I don't think I can pull them off. I just don't wear one, because I'm worried about overdoing it.

How about a neckerchief?

personally i agree with vm a bow tie would be nice try it you can pull it off if not a cravat would look amazing.

Or an ascot?
