    Show us your British suits

    Some tailors put a layer of body canvas in the front and back of sleevehead to give it shape as you would with wadding in the crown. Very traditional.

    Is this 3 PIECE SUIT Edwardian? 1920s? Earlier?

    Looking at the shape of that armhole and sleeve, it all seems very remenisant of cutters drafts of the 1880s. I'd say it was definitely 19th century. Amazing find! Glad it's out of the pillow case

    Suits - Pre 1920

    The Hoover Coat! Great! Trying to work out whether the cartoon was geuinely intended promotional peice or whether it's sarcastically over enthasizing the limited versatility of the design. :D

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    Simon the shirt looks awesome, but I agree with Two Types and think it would look even cooler as a tunic shirt with the placket ending at the bottom of the bib. I can see the amount of work thats gone into the bib. You've got a good shirtmaker!

    Balmoral Boots

    mon Dieu! shame about the heel shape but these are very nice. And only 295 euros. Taken me a while to discover the French make good shoes at very reasonable prices. http://www.septiemelargeur.fr/marceau--last-174-in-vocalou-old-brown-p25650-en.html
