    Members in Germany

    For the past few years, I have been living mostly in Munich. Are there any members in Munich or nearby? I would love to connect and learn about any vintage-themed events in Munich or elsewhere. Thanks.

    Italian film set in 1910-1920s with great suits

    I saw part of an Italian film on Italian TV (maybe made for TV) that appeared to be made recently about a police squad fighting gangs. It was set about 1910-1920s. I remember that all of the police were wearing great period style suits with contrasting vests, high collars, great hats. The...

    Tropical White Tie

    Does anyone know if there were alternatives to traditional white tie in tropical areas during the Golden Era? Were tails in any other colors, or combinations such as white tie, black pants and white mess jacket, ever worn? Or was the only option just light weight black tails?

    Shirts in the 30's and 40's

    In comparing shirts in many period pictures with todays shirts, there are many obvious differences, but some things that I cannot figure out. Assuming the height of the collar being the same, period shirts appear to have sat higher up the neck than modern shirts. Perhaps the patterns were cut...

    British Hat Sizes

    This may have been covered in the past, but are British sizes different than U.S.? I seem to recall seeing something to the effect that British sizes are one size smaller than ours. That is, a 7 3/8 in the U.S. would be a 7 1/4 in the U.K. Is this correct? Thanks.

    White Suits

    This may have been covered elsewhere or earlier. Does anyone have any washable white suits, and what have been the results? Seeing so many of them in films and pictures I wondered how they stayed clean. My Cuban tailor told me that they were made of cotton or linen woven in a type of...

    European 30s Styles

    This may have been the subject of an earlier thread, but I thought I would begin a thread on European 30s styles by posting some scans from two issues of Adam, a French mens fashion magazine recently purchased on Ebay. If they are of interest, I will post more pages, as well as some German...
