Bump because I like this thread.

Matching checkered shirts could also be discussed here (I prefer stripes though)

Adolphe Menjou in a very matching shirt and tie:
Simpsons shirts and ties, circa 1938:
Wow. A few of these I like. Some of them I don't like at all! Is that an Oregon Ducks themed look on the second row far right, with the white/silver tie over the mustard yellow on green windowpane? Looks about as bad as their post-Nike uniforms do. Also - it is interesting that so few of these seem to follow the wisdom i always hear - which is that a secondary color in the tie should pick up a color in the shirt.Originally Posted by herringbonekid

Does somebody know where this pictures come from? Or which time frame? Do you agree to the suggestions?
no, but the illustrations look post 70s. generally i agree with the advice. it's pretty much the same thinking that Alan Flusser covers in 'Dressing the Man' and is virtually gospel by now;
don't put patterns together that are too similar in tone and scale.
here endeth the first lesson.
Thanks.
Yes, that's the lesson. And if one pattern is too busy you need a plain fabric nearby to calm it down. But I still can't get used to big houndstooth. My brain hurts when I see it. Yes, I know. Cary Grant and all but still...
I'm glad this thread got bumped as I've used it in the past. I generally wear tattersall shirts and V Neck Sweaters with my tweed jacket and find that it seems to offer the right balance. I once wore a tie that was somewhat similar in color and design to a tattersall shirt I have and was told it didn't look right. I learned from my mistake and later wore the shirt again with a regular tie and was told that it looked great. Trial and error will teach you about what looks good together and what doesn't more than anything else

Today I actually saw an aquaintance of mine wearing a sportcoat....but it was a red one which he wore with a red T Shirt underneath. he was also wearing jeans and sneakers and I can't say I thought it was well put together. The diffrent reds caused a clash and I dislike the jeans with sportcoat look personally(Although I have seen people who do it well) so I didn't think much of how he was put together.

in the late teens to early 20s there was a fad for trousers that were full at the thigh, quickly tapered and finished with an extra large turn up:
.... discuss.
It's like a trousered version of pegged jeans. The late 20's must have been a really layered, complex time for haberdashery. Always discovering new surprises from that timeframe - like the ongoing thread in the General section about 20's-does-70's or 70's-does-20's...or whatever
