    1920s-30s long drape collars - post your pics and help with terminology

    Can someone clue me in on the correct way to describe the narrow, long pointy collars of the 1920-30s with a very narrow spread? I'm not sure if "spearpoint" is exactly accurate for the style i'm interested in. If you take a look at this picture of a 1930s era workwear shirt, you'll notice...

    Custom shirts with narrow point collars 30s style?

    After a frustrating search for off the rack dress shirts (and casual shirts) that fit me well and have the correct long point collars that are characteristic of the 20s/30s, I've decided to go custom. (That is, unless there is an outfit somewhere that sells shirts with period styling ready to...

    Vintage army khakis, Vietnam era

    I just picked up these Vietnam era army chinos. Here are some pics. I'm curious if you guys think they could pass for 1940s pattern chinos or if the cut has that 1970s look. They are a darker khaki, kind of British khakis. They are pretty high-waisted and somewhat full, although they seem to...

    Suede oxfords with crepe sole - ideas?

    I'm still in the market for pair of suede oxfords, preferably dark brown--either solid brown or with wingtip stitching--with lightweight, comfortable rubber "crepe" soles. First question: What is the period appropriateness of these shoes? When were they first worn historically, and with what...

    High rise khakis

    I'm still searching for that perfect pair of HIGH RISE khakis/chinos. By 'high rise', I don't mean period high-rise with a buckle back, I just mean a regular pair of khakis for everyday wear that fits me well. Everything I've tried on, with perhaps the exception of Bill's Khakis have too low...

    Saddle shoes / wingtips?

    I'm looking for suggestions for a pair of suede saddle shoes or wingtips. This is what I have in mind: http://www.shoebuy.com/david-spencer-saddle/245667/526782 I would also be interested in a pair of dark chocolate brown wingtip suedes. Thoughts?

    Mountain khakis - anyone tried these?

    Has anyone tried on these pants before? How do they fit? Do they have a decently long rise? http://www.mountainkhakis.com/products/men/pants/teton-twill-pant.cfm

    Surplus army khakis for casual wear

    I'm curious if anyone has had success with surplus army pants in cotton that could pass for casual wear. I'm thinking along the lines of European vintage 1950s-60s, maybe German moleskin or Swiss or Australian stuff? I'd prefer that there be minimal to none cargo pockets--not looking for a...

    Recommend a pair of khakis

    I'm looking for something basic, a pair of khakis, plain front, kind of outdoorsish and 1930s/40s. Attention to period detail is not overly critical, but fit is important--in particular, I want a decently high rise. I can't seem to find any khakis that fit me well these days...They all seem to...

    Cuffed or plain? Hemming question.

    First of all, which is preferred for plain-front, cuffed or plain hems? Let's say 1920s-30s. Were both common? Secondly, when doing plain hems, what should the stitching look like? i.e., how far between the bottom and the stitch? Pics would help.

    Suspenders and suspender buttons

    1. What is the best source for period-style (let's say 1920s-30s) suspenders? 2. What is the best way of attaching suspender buttons to your pants (I'm thinking about doing this to a pair of Bill's khakis)--inside or outside? I kind of like the outside idea (so the buttons don't press against...

    Camp shirts . . . and ties

    Hello all I've been lurking for a while here. I'm currently fascinated by the camp shirts and depression-era work shirts J Crew has been selling. I also have a current fascination with knit ties. My question is: Would it be terribly wrong to wear a tie with a shirt that was designed for...

    Cleaning suede shoes

    I have a pair of suede/leather saddle shoes and salad dressing spilled all over the front end of one shoe (the suede part). The formerly tan color has turned into a dark, oily brown/black. Is there any way to remove this stain? I took it to a local shoe repair shop, and the guy said that the...
