    Where to get cream white flannels?

    Hello Does anyone know where to acquire cream white flannels? I know that both Paul Stuart and Fox Brothers got them, but at 474$ and 325£ respectively, they are way above what I would like to pay for such a fragile piece of clothing. I'm hoping to keep them around the 100£ mark, or...

    1930s trousers cuff width?

    Hi all :) I'm wondering what the (typical) trousers cuff width was in the 1930s? Most of my modern suits and trousers got a 23cm/9" width when laid flat. I believe this is quite a classic width? Some time ago I had a fleabay found suit sent to my tailor, and he took sleeves and trouser...

    Ralph Lauren Mens Spring 2013 Collection

    http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2013MEN-RLAUREN I must say that I really do like the majority of their new designs. It even looks like that the trend of ultra low cut trousers is turning towards a more reasonable cut.

    How to care for tan leather shoes?

    I've got a pair of lovely tan leather shoes. I've worn them once, and it seems I got a few stains (of perhaps alcohol) on them. It only left a few very small marks, but when I've tried to clean them up at home, whenever they get wet, the area around the small stains give out wild discolorations...

    A2 Leather Jacket in long size ?

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for a long size A2 leather jacket. Accuracy should be fairly good, but it's not needed to be a 1:1 reproduction of the wartime issue jacket. I'm also not prepared to shell out 500-ish $ on it :) I've tried the Sturm Mil-Tec one, and their size L is too short for...

    Victorian gentlemans clothing, where to find information?

    I know the subject isn't strictly FL material. But since there are so many knowledgeable persons here, I thought that perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

    Hello everyone I'm looking for a new walking umbrella. The one I got right now is sporting a small logo on the Velcro closure, the handle is plastic, and it's too short. I don't really think it's manufactured with the intention of being used as a walking umbrella. After some consideration, I...

    Boots, stylish yet practical, where ?

    I'm on the lookout for a pair of everyday boots. I got a pair of very pretty Aldo Unphrey. They are a very dark brown, and are quite stylish, but sadly not very practical. And I fear they are not the most durable footwear that I own. What I'm on the lookout for, is a pair of dark brown boots...

    Hi all :) I received a new black Christy's Fedora today, and was quick at removing the tags. Later when I inspected it in detail, it turned out to have a shine to the felt. It also had a clear "circle" pattern at the very top/center of the hat, probably from where it was blocked. My brown...
