What are you wearing today??

[Miss Slapstick]

Sonja is one of my favorites to watch in the winter. Really puts me in the mood for the fashion of the season.

1930s dresses are indeed nicely tailored, they all look dreamy on and are comfy too. It is impossible to look bad in a 30s dress. 1932 through 35, maybe 36, are all to die for <3
I want to show them all off but my cameras don't do them justice out: Still..just gotta say that fashion of the 30s makes me darn happy to be a woman !!

Was in a 1930's mood myself last week.

Does anyone know what this material is called? I see many old flickers with guys wearing suits of this and would love to find one myself.

There's a lot of rain in London at the moment. So it's lucky I've got a new Mackintosh:

I've been lurking around the Lounge for quite some time now, just wanted to put my first post in! Went out last Saturday night to see some jazz with the old lady, couldn't resist wearing my three-piece navy blue pinstripe suit.

Before hitting the nightclub, down in Jack London Square in Oakland, CA, it would have been positively uncivilized to not stop by Heinhold's First and Last Chance Saloon (Est. 1883). Jack London's favorite waterfront dive and inspiration for many of his novels. I tried to look as threatening to small children as possible before going inside and ordering a large Bulleit bourbon on the rocks ;-)
I'll try to post more interior photos of Heinhold's in another thread, just because it's so darn cool and actually has a floor that slopes downward at a 45 degree angle...

That suit looks familiar. It wasn't by chance offered on eBay recently as a modern recreation of Bogart's Dark Passage suit was it?

Apologies for the poor picture quality today. It's still dark and I haven't had any coffee yet, making it difficult to take good pictures.

Looks sharp avedwards. The watch fob is the kind of detail that really sets it apart.
Don Pelon that blue suit is top shelf. You wear it well.
Nice mac Two Types.
Great look with the leather cap JOB.
Golden Era Fan and Miss Slapstick you both are sporting some nice wardrobe!

Agreed.

My son Daniel's first vintage suit, late 1930s. A perfect fit. The blue shirt is modern, all else is vintage. He got a p/t job this summer, and every paycheck he sends a pmt to our vintage dealer towards his layaway items. He has one more pmt to pay off the vintage fedora he bought to go with this.

He first wore this to H.S. a week or two ago (he's now a Senior), for "Well Dressed Wednesday", that he and some pals started at their school.

Fantastic! They should start Well-Dressed Wednesdays everywhere. I hope he never outgrows that suit either. I put on 30 lbs. since high school, but I never had any decent clothes then.

Naw, I actually found it crumpled up in a dusty ball in the corner of a thrift store. I don't think it's vintage, but is actually hand-tailored, 100% wool. The pants were unhemmed, leading me to believe it was completely unworn. A good dry cleaning and pressing, and it came out mint condition ;-) Though I would jump on any Bogie recreation suit any day!

It's a Norfolk sort of day. And if you look at Cordova caps you may recognize it as his newest "Devon" model. There is no vent on the Norfolk and the strap goes down the middle on the back. Everything is more or less just aesthetic very dandyish early 20s of me to have such a non functional norfolk jacket.

 

[Metatron]

Very cool, I like the cap and the shock of pink against the chambray.
What do you mean by 'non functional'? As far as I can see you are wearing it.

Excellent point, sir!

 

[Metatron]

You were probably expecting this, but do you not go for higher waisted trousers?

 

[cpdv]

I would love to but as it is I must make do with those until I can't have made or find original early 20s trousers as I am a fan of the skinny highwater look.

 

[Pinesiw]

I was hoping id see that cap around the lounge, could you share more angles of it, side, back. Im hoping it will help with what design im going with next
