[Claudio]

thanks DH, sometimes (rarely) I will match grey with brown, not my fave of pairs but think it works well sometimes

Here are some recent outfits:

Good outfits. I have a soft spot for jackets with a flap on the breast pocket, and that last tie is awesome.

It is a tab collar on the second pic, right?

Good show Two Types. Those first two jackets are over the moon!!!

Yes. I have been wearing tab collars more frequently recently.

 

[Two Types]

Those first two jackets are over the moon!!!

Cheers. They are probably from the 1960s or even 1970s but were made for older men, not for fashionable young men. The jacket with the breast pocket flap was originally from Dunn & Co who, up until a few years back, had a shop in every town in England. Their customers were mature men with no interest in fashion, hence that jacket is closer to a hacking jacket from 1930 than it is to any other jacket made in 1975 (or whenever it was).

Dunn & Co - they "died" in about 1990 - sold excellent clothes of the type you describe. Breast-pocket flaps were indeed occasionally found in the 1970s.
What are the three overcoats? Is the first one double-breasted and belted? That style is described in an early posting by herringbonekid as "bullet-resistant" and is excellent for serious cold-weather wear.

 

[Two Types]

The three coats are (from the top):

Belted and double breasted camel-hair overcoat. Made in the UK for a store in Bermuda. Probably 1950s/60s
Double Breasted 'King Coat' from Harrods. My guess would be fortes or fifties.
'British Warm' overcoat by Dunn and Co. Probably 1970s.

great jackets and love that doted pocket square

 

[Luftwaffles]

Got my 30s suit jacket with an Army officer's wool gabardine shirt, 30s rayon tie, and my repro wide-legged slacks.

If you strive for the look of the era... please get a hair-cut and shorten down the sides. It will make a big difference.

 

[Luftwaffles]

My sister cuts my hair, and she's been outta town, so.... [huh]

 

[Fastuni]

No barbers/haircutters in town?

 

[Luftwaffles]

None I can afford, no. They're all top dollar stylist type places, unfortunately.

 

[dh66]

Looks good Luftwaffles.

 

[Dreamofgilgamesh]

I say Mr Two Types, they really are some cracking jackets, where on earth do you find all these lovely things from.

 

[Two Types]

Cheers. Round and about ... the two jackets came from 'Old Hat' (David Saxby's shop in Fulham) a few years back. The coats are charity shop and vintage market finds.
