    WTB Officer's Service Coat size 42

    Size 42, or chest 42" around? They're not the same thing. (I have one now, AAF type with the sewn-on belt, but it's about a size 39 or "tight 40.")

    The Fedora Lounge Guide to Palm Beach Cloth

    Hey everyone, I'd like to rekindle this discussion. Namely, in regards to cleaning and re-whitening Palm Beach fabric. Palm Beach is a blend of wool and linen, which means Oxi-Clean will digest it to some extent. However a lot of people swear Oxi-Clean will work just fine. However, Hydrogen...

    FS: Late 40's or early 50's STUNNING suit- vented patch pockets, hollywood waist

    Hello all! I've had this for a short while- I figured I would have it altered so it would fit me, but I decided I should just let go of it instead. This one is incredible!! 4 patch pockets, all vented. Fabric is a wool gabardine with a "flannel" finish- it's a fuzzy gab, in short. Dropped...

    FS: Slightly O/T, scale model WWII armor plus freebies!

    I can post this here, right? Hello all, I've been building models since I was 10, but time is tight and I need to thin out the "to-do" list. Hence, I need this to go away to a good home. Trumpeter Dicker Max kit, in 1/35th scale. I started the kit- built the suspension, bogey wheels, etc...

    So what exactly is Flannel

    I was going to say, but it's been addressed: Flannel is a weave. You have wool flannel for example- wool is the fiber content, while flannel is the weave. Therefore you cannot have a herringbone flannel. Don't forget rayon flannel! You see a lot of shirts from the 1950's made from this too.

    Need help: Era, locale, and approximate value of suit?

    back of the suit? I can, possibly tonight after I get home from work. Funny but the back is actually rather plain. The belt on the back hangs loose from side seam to side seam. No buttons or whatnot.

    Need help: Era, locale, and approximate value of suit?

    Thanks everyone, I have a good idea what to aim for in terms of price- if people give me a "kneejerk" reaction then I know I'm too high on that price. It's a stunning suit, that's for sure! The jacket is basically mint too.

    Need help: Era, locale, and approximate value of suit?

    Hello all, It has been quite a while, but I wanted to tap into the expertise in this forum. I picked up this suit a few weeks ago. Marc suggests it is 1930's, probably German or Swiss origin. I trust his judgment but I figured I would take a vote and see what everyone else thinks. The...
