Show us their suits
Okkkk I confess this is the least favourite of the 3 woollen fabric suits I've commented on - title of the gangsta look gives it away :) Firstly, he must have some awful boogers in a handkerchief that size in his breast pocket. The breast pocket with the darting is a great detail - as is the... -

I wouldn't mind buying the tweed suit off you after you've parted with the kidney :) Handsome suit again: the breast pocket has a near chore design - look at the stitching detail! His pleated trousers and waistcoat falling just within the seams of the pleats is very elegant: I bet he even... -

What an amazing artist. I had no idea what he looked like. His suit seems to have at least inch wide stripes but just look at that cut! He looks more cool and hip than the hipsters who've come over 80 years after him! Now I understand why shirts were created with such spread collars... -

see the resemblance :eek: https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/nintchdbpict000000979670-e1500641352858.jpg?strip=all&w=669 -

Not sure...but as an actor of the silent age of film, he looks like the younger brother of Joan Collins a la shoulder pad era from the 1980's t.v. series of JR Ewing's "Dynasty" in that double breasted. I love the suit style of Rudolph Valentino (no idea who he is though) from Michael A above -... -

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
The detail of your coat is great - photos look much better in the other thread of the same coat btw. Zip out linings are great! This is the reason we all have too many coats - no zip out linings...so we need a light summer coat...a mid-season coat...a heavy winter coat. Before coats...- Benproof

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Crikey Mikey! How many coats have you?! It's interesting seeing the design differences of the US vs British air force: yours has side slanting pockets and full fronting belt. The material looks lighter than some of your other coats? I guess the weather in the Korean war was different that...- Benproof

Show Us Your OVERCOATS
It's a very sharp cut typically of military uniforms. Congratulations on the new year's coat! Its length and drape and superb - stately and generous and the silhouette looks really slick. I'd be tempted to sandblast those bauble buttons and render them steel grey, or flat matt paint black...- Benproof

Show Us Your OVERCOATS
Really love Crombie coats! When I visited the store, I was disappointed in their modern trend to cut them shorter and above the knee. This ridiculous trend for mens "frock coats" winds me up. The proper original Crombie coat had the drape flow handsomely closer to the level of mid-calf...- Benproof

Herringbone / Flannel/ Fleck Trouser Recomendations
That's great news Tommy. Your sizing info is really helpful too - since the standards for vintage clothing is so far out by our modern comparisons, the detail of the cut gives a much better impression sight unseen for their range of high rise high waist trousers. Maybe Ozone will have more... -

Show Us Your OVERCOATS
MIchael - that's such a slick supersmooth fronted coat. Try it with the collar turned up like Ariel's? I love both coats - they both have pocket flaps running vertically, which is how pockets stop everything emptying!- Benproof

Show off the sports coats.
Hamilcar - that's an exceptionally handsome jacket. I love the longer cut and the classic fit with the vintage half-belt. The styling is just so sumptuously understated and classy, everything thereafter looks either naked or stuffy. In the colour advert, the houndstooth half-belt jacket is... -
My customer experience with Aero Leather: What's happening?
Wow Mikel - thanks for sharing your difficult and hard-earned experience and reminding us that Inbox and Spam Folder are a recipe for falling out with others! It's been sometime since I ordered my Aero jacket - thought I'd share this since it was shocking for me. After numerous to and fro'...- Benproof

Herringbone / Flannel/ Fleck Trouser Recomendations
The Ozone ones look great! When you say 'over budget' - are you thinking of authentic vintage wear then, rather than modern repro'? I agree about authentic vintage being a better fit - either that or I was born 60 years too late. The Ozone prices are as good as they get really for a made... -
Lamp
Sorry - it just looks like a bent coat hanger from here :( It would look great if you get it sandblasted and polished and then framed it in a metal diagonal hatchet mesh wrap. Alternatively, you can look up 1930's art deco styles - not my thing as they tend to be more ostentatious or...- Benproof

Best warm leather jackets?
Not sure .... but fwiw, it's not the lack of warmth of a jacket that gets me on the motorcycle. Any motorcycle jacket needs layers to trap heat - that works better, particularly with a Thinsulate heat foil layer inside, and a windshield outside. In effect, throwing these layers on any...- Benproof

Cleaning a vintage Crombie overcoat?
I feel the same way about my Crombie blazers! Some of them I suspect I bought because I like the little rectangular Crombie logo and can't for the life of me figure out what I saw in the ghastly checked patterns :) Maybe wool will return to its original size if it is hung vertically to stretch...- Benproof

What would you not be seen dead in?
"What anyone wears is none of my business, wear what you like, but there are some wardrobe faux pas that are so cringe worthy that you wouldn't be seen dead in.

Cleaning a vintage Crombie overcoat?
Crombie...one of my favourite overcoats! They are great coats ...literally which is why they are called greatcoats. If you handwash it in soap, you will not remove any potential moth eggs in the way drycleaning will zap all the dormant bugs and moth offspring. You can handwash it in cold...- Benproof

Schott 141 cafe racer, collar wear
Oh dear! Gamma - looks like someone's thrown it in the washing machine. I've never seen any of my Schott go through anything like this either. The threading have come undone (sadly not tripled stitched, let alone double stitched on the arms)...metal poppers come off with the hardware...- Benproof
