The Resortes805 Collection
I love this - I've always been a sucker for a strong herringbone pattern; the bolder, the better. Thank you for taking the time post these images, and doing such a good job of it. I hope more Loungers with collections like yours (you know who you are), will take the time to share with others...- Nonchalant

Macintosh Hollywood Studio clothes Lounge, you dissapoint me.
Quite a few "Macintosh Studio Clothes" suits have passed through his hands, I think. He seems to possess an uncanny ability to find them -- why can't I do that? The last Macintosh suit I came across was one of his, a gorgeous 1938 dated navy blue, double breasted, 3 piece. It had roped...- Nonchalant

Is there no love for the two piece single breasted vintage 30s 40s suit?
Oh, I don't know -- there's a few of us, lurking about. Here's one of my favorite suits; the only Sears "Fashion Tailored" suit I have ever seen. It has a 3-button notch lapel jacket, hourglass cut, stovepipe trousers (no taper at all!), triple pinstripe in the fabric - yellow with a periodic...- Nonchalant

sports coat: good, bad or ugly?
With a cursory glance, your coat does have a strong 1930's feel. It has a suppressed waist, belted back and actually - decent fabric -- the 1930's inspiration is definitely present. The devil is in the details, however, and with that being said there are some very 70's things going on with your...- Nonchalant

Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff
:rolleyes: Mr. Johnny-Come-Lately here was obviously frothing at the mouth when he saw the high price that your suit has fetched, judging by the hastily taken photos and cobbled together feel of the auction. Your suit went for what may seem like a high, even astronomical price for a vintage...- Nonchalant

Public Enemies
Exactly. I remain hopeful there will be less period films made that play loose and fast with the facts. A film should be guided by the directors personal vision, don't get me wrong. Artistic license is fine by me -- when done well. Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator" is a good example of a period...- Nonchalant

What a suit! Spotted at a Paris flea market ...
Do you think so? They kind of remind me of the leather covered buttons you often see on traditional tweed jackets, but it's hard to tell. Light colored (in this case, blue) fabric paired with contrasting caramel buttons; a very tasteful combination - and one of the many reasons why 1930's...- Nonchalant

What a suit! Spotted at a Paris flea market ...
That suit is gorgeous, and as far as his appearance, he seems to channeling the early 20th century european modernist painter look, like Marc was saying. He could be a Andre Breton or a Salvador Dali. I think he is doing it rather well. The only thing wrong with the fit that I see is the...- Nonchalant

Public Enemies
It's a shame he won't, as I'm sure Forgotten Man could do a better job - he counts some serious students of John Dillinger and 1930's crime wave history amongst his friends, and could use them as consultants. But Mann of course was more interested in telling a slight story about how the sun...- Nonchalant

Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff
To my knowledge, there are no real "rules" for how much men's vintage suits are worth according to their size, style and era of origin. Some ideas, some notions, but no "rules". It all comes down to how much one is willing to pay - which is as much as any piece of vintage clothing is worth, I...- Nonchalant

This "sucks"... the Hoover And Other Vintage Vacuum Cleaners
Dueling Vacuums! Back in the 1920's, door to door vacuum salesmen could get downright competitive, as these photos attest! Vacuum duels were even known to occur from time to time, and it's said that no carpet within reach of the combatants would be left unscathed during these furious contests...- Nonchalant

Of note are the seller's enthusiastic responses in answer to the questions regarding sizing. "Honestly this is an amazing old suit and I'm sure it cost a pretty penny way back when." "Honestly it's a fantastic well taylored vintage suit." Then again, who knows. It is a nice suit, just...- Nonchalant

All I can tell you is to be dilligent and search this forum; it's not easy but there's plenty to be found. May I also recommend to search threads started by Marc Chevalier; that fellow is the Maestro of vintage menswear as far as I'm concerned. Fall 1934 APPAREL ARTS images ...- Nonchalant

Point taken. Glad I didn't throw them into that huge vat of oxy-clean I had been preparing. ;) Of the two suits, the trousers are the major offenders, so perhaps I will just try your method there.- Nonchalant

I have a pair of suits that have sat around for about a year with dirt and stains so stubborn that no dry cleaners can seem to handle. I'm tired of looking at them, and smelling them. :eusa_doh: Originally the suits were high-end. Hmm... The progress you made with the grey suit is very...- Nonchalant

Name That Tune
:p I love those British Dance Bands! I always enjoy reading this thread, even when I don't know the lyrics (usually anything outside of 1928-1935 throws me). I was hoping someone would revive it when I logged in today; and lo and behold here you had posted the lyrics to one of my favorite...- Nonchalant
