    1940's Grey Flanell SB Suit "Bond Clothes" Sz. 42

    Ah that's too bad. But yes this is roughly my size, I generally prefer 30's over 40's, and european over american but anything can be of interest if you have anything lying around.

    I threw my vintage suit in the washing machine

    Modern irons can be used, I have tried it on water-cleaned suits, but old, heavy cast iron-irons are the way to go. They can be just as heavy as a modern tailoring iron, and can be found in any old flea market for a fraction of the cost.

    Moth remedies ? That aren't mothballs or chinese "aromatic cedar" ?

    I don't even bag them, just toss them in! And no it doesn't damage the fibres, as there are no fluids involved no ice is formed and thus nothing happens apart from the demise of any eventual unwanted guests. If they can handle the Swedish winter, which often drops below -20 celsius I think they...

    Moth remedies ? That aren't mothballs or chinese "aromatic cedar" ?

    I have heard that a full week in minus 20 degrees celsius is needed to kill off the eggs, two days is not enough. I luckily do not have a moth infestation but I always freeze newly arrived garments for a week minimum, I currently have an overcoat that has been in the freezer for two months...

    Show us your TIES

    Mine features a fairly similar pattern to Esteban's tie, with what I would describe as a sort of stylized "S", or an american football perhaps?

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Nice find, was it an ebay purchase?

    Just ordered: Classic Orient Bambino...One Left

    Pretty nice, I have a similar watch, from the 1950's but in gold. Very versatile, subdued elegance.

    Short Waitcoats

    Apart from vintage garments I have had little luck finding short waistcoats, but I suppose companies like luxire can do a reproduction, but that would involve sending an existing garment for them to copy. Finding vintage ones is not impossible however, ebay and etsy are always good sources, not...

    How did people in the 40s-50s casually dress? (Without Suits)

    There is most definitely a thing called vintage ties, just as with suits things have changed since the 1940's. Have a look at the "show us your ties" thread here on FL, there is plenty of things there to give you an idea of how ties used to look. As for the tie you linked, that wouldn't be very...

    What are you wearing today??

    Smashing! But I must ask, isn't a pea-coat a wee bit warm in midst of the Australian summer?:D

    The Vintage Tailoring Thread

    Quite, I mean I find a 1940's three piece to be warm in the summer, but I must say it is really not unbearable in any way. It can even work as an isolation from the heat, up to a certain point.

    A. Marchesan - Swedish mens vintage store with hundreds of 30s, 40s & 50s suits.

    I can understand that, but up here in the frozen north we value our overcoats!

    I cannot say for certain, broccoli probably has a better idea of that. But I am about a 42 short, and he has plenty of suits that are too long for me.
