    Vintage flat boot laces

    Thanks for pointing in this direction, Herringbone! I ordered a pack of 12 yesterday. :-)

    Putting it all together

    That's right. The impression could easily lean towards "boiler suit under a jacket" unless the right jacket is found. I'm considering a tan Harris tweed jacket in the same weight.

    Putting it all together

    The neck opening is quite normal, fitting for a tie to be worn with it - by "gilet" I simply meant that the bottom of the waistcoat is cut straight across. I should try and photograph it, of course...

    Putting it all together

    I've gotten hold of a matching set of trousers and gilet waistcoat - no doubt once part of a three-piece suit but now orphaned. The fabric is a lovely thick Harris Tweed (I'm sure) in a pale, subtly mottled teal colour. Lovat green comes pretty close as a description. Everything about them...

    Good lookin', Fastuni! Maybe we should start a new thread "Show us your Swedish suits"? ;)

    Drake's Wool Unicorn Pocket Handkerchief Wanted

    Thanks, Mike, but I can only find one - and the seller is asking £150, which is rather steep.

    Where does this leave formal morning dress...? ;)

    Putting it all together

    Interesting viewpoint, Baron! Are you saying it should either be a suit, or give all waistcoats a wide berth? Does that go for knitted pullovers and sweaters as well, in your opinion?

    1920s suits

    I actually think Prince George looks quite good here. The trouser length doesn't feel that wrong to me when they're cuffed.

    Drake's Wool Unicorn Pocket Handkerchief Wanted

    Is there anyone that own one of Drake's woolen pocket handkerchiefs with the pattern of unicorns, dogs, birds etc. and is willing to part with it? I've found lots of pictures on the Internet, but they don't seem to be sold anywhere anymore. I guess I discovered them too late...

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Thanks to all. As you say, Metatron, it is pretty much timeless - the suit doesn't have much by way of "typical" 1930s features. Anybody care to guess if it could be early or late 30s? This is what the label looks like:

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    This is a tweed suit (don't know the date) made by House of Lewis, of Bristol, sometime during the 1930s. I am modeling it in a Stockholm vintage menswear shop (A. Marchesan) - the suit itself I got from Bookster, though.

    1920s suits

    I must admit that's difficult for me to be sure of. It does look somewhat uneven, so I'd guess it's hand stitched, though.

    We're getting to know each other, I think!:D

    1920s suits

    No offense, but I think this picture brings Harry Langdon to mind, more than Keaton.

    1920s suits

    Thanks very much for the compliments, Two Types! A shirt with somewhat longer sleeves certainly would have improved the outfit, though - the cuffs kept creeping out of sight... I just wish there had been more suits like this to go around, and this world would have been a more well-dressed...
