Dear All,
I'm a longtime lurker.
Since my weight keeps me from fitting into some very beautiful vintage suits, the only options are to buy suits from High-Quality Reproduction Stores. I've tried to establish contact with Matt Deckard, but I seemed to have peeved.
My Top current choices are...
Dear All,
I was born in 1996 in Hong Kong, just before the handover.
Recently, another veteran of the namesake battle has died. The government and most of the population refuse to commemorate and much less remember liberation day or what's happened. Our military history, alongside anything pre...
Dear all,
Despite being born in 1996, I have never met a real life World War 2 veteran except for my Communist grandmother of whom I don't have much affection for.
The National WW2 Museum has travel tours but I don't know which one to pick. I'm kicking myself for not being on the 75th...
Nobody can reproduce vintage summer cloth, or even recreate vintage all round cloth. However, I do want a suit with an action back and is cut to give me enough maneuverability without being boxy. I'm a fat guy, and I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I really want to know: are there any...
Somebody mentioned Fresco wool, and linked something very good. TO me, Fresco seems all well and good. But, i dont have enough experience to judge. I would stick with seersucker or a very good quality linen.
Hello its me again, (please dont hate me)
I have recently came across the Houndstooth kid's Etsy Haberdashery and had seen a 60 dollar straw hat. And i was wondering, "in the summer, the suit rules are different, What are they?" A lot of people (Askmen, GQ, Esquire) misinform people about...
Hey, Could you link me to some other thread about how BB and JPress history, if not, do you mind explaining it?
Secondly, where do you think i could get vintage clothing for a 5'8, size 42-44 long/ short? Is it always Ebay or Etsy?
Where can i find this magical awesome cloth. I reckon it wont be in a J Press or Brooks Brothers.
Then Again Herringbonekid, Do you think that J Press or Brooks Brothers are still like they were Before 1980 or so. And Do you think Lighter cloths like(super 180s) have a place in sunny, warmer...
I would love it if one of them were a plain navy wool. Possibly heavier suits with full canvas, lining and all those goodies would produce the suits of our forefathers. Not that i don't appreciate a super 180 (no need to rid of anyone.) I just think they serve different purposes. Any who, I hope...
Very informative post, My chief problem is finding a good tailor in NYC. Most of them are too expensive and i mostly want good cloth. I guess it is getting hard. I am also a short (5'7 3/4) fat guy. So, Not a lot of Ebay finds would suit me..
