Recommendations for a Tailor in Melbourne?
Greetings all, Does anyone here have any recommendations for a good tailor in Melbourne that can reproduce a vintage style? I'm stuck 'down under' with only a single suit and am going to make the best of a 'bad' situation by having a few new suits made up. Can travel a bit, but don't have... -

Jacket Dating: Another Tweed
Does anyone know of any links for dating Harris Tweed? I'm surprised, but it appears there's nothing out there on the 'Net for dating the material. Cheers, - SteveN -

Say Marc, What kind of back is on this jacket? Also, anyone noticed that all of Barry's pictures have broken links? Cheers, - SteveN -

Tailors in Melbourne & Sydney
Anyone here having something made by these guys? I was just in their shop today, and asked about a sport jacket in a black & white houndstooth pattern. To my surprise, he said that last week someone came in and asked about the same thing. Regards, - Steve -

Prince Philip's pants
Doesn't that blazer look too big? There is no cuff exposed, and if there were they would be down to his knuckles. SteveN -

1940's Jacket?
No idea. It's for sale on eBay, claiming to be 40's, but even my untrained eye thought something was wrong with that date. SteveN -

New 'Vintage' Garment: Dry Clean or Tailor First?
Water & Dry Clean? Just thinking this though, and leaving out the tailoring part, it seems that, if you wanted to get a 'new' garment really clean, you'd run it through a water process & a dry cleaning one. The thinking being that the 'dry' clean would take out any unknown oil/grease stains... -

1940's Jacket?
Gentlemen, Does this jacket look like it comes from the 1940's to you? Given our recent discussion of 1960's jackets, it looks more like that era to me. If it is a 1940's jacket, what are the clues to dating it? No union label was displayed by the seller. Cheers, - SteveN -

Another Suit Dating Request
No, I was considering purchasing it. I'm still in 'training' as far as being able to recognize vintage pieces (defined as pre-1960), but something about this one didn't look 'right' to me. Regards, - SteveN -

New 'Vintage' Garment: Dry Clean or Tailor First?
G'Day Gentlemen, What's the prevailing wisdom: dry clean or tailor a new acquisition first? One one hand, I can see tailoring first, so it can be fresh and clean afterward. On the other hand, cleaning first might make it easier for the tailor. Anyone with an opinion on this? Or does it not... -

Sportcoat Dating Help
Gentlemen, I just returned from some thrift shops and have two new finds. It turns out my sister is a super shopper at thrift shops and showed me to all her favourite places in the Dallas area. Actually, we just hit a few; many more to go. The first is a sport coat, I think. Is it true that a... -

Seller Comments?
That's the one. I was amazed that it went for so high an amount myself. Out of interest, what should the jacket have gone for? I realise that it's whatever the market will bear, but I'd like to get a sense on what 'normal' is for a piece like that. The eBay ID is 310090786363. Cheers... -

Seller Comments?
Does anyone have experience with cowtowns_revenge? I just lost out on a very nice vintage suit there, but he seems to have some other stuff. Feedback seem generally positive. I know that many of you here can recognize sellers and that many of them aren't, let's say, too accurate in their...
