1920s suits

[Flat Foot Floey]

No idea, sorry. When you google the name there are a few other cool outfits though.

 

[Mr. Purple]

Great suit, Mr. Purple. If I see the color correctly it is brown with reddish brown stripes?

It is in fact dark brown with triple stripes that consists of surprisingly bright red threads, interwoven with mottled black & white ones, giving the impression of rust colour. As I'm sure you can tell, I'm completely swept off my feet by this suit! Happy it is being appreciated here.

this tie deserves another look. i don't think i've seen anything like it. it has no knot and appears to be pinned back

this tie deserves another look.

It is a mystery. It looks to me like a short knit tie that has been wrapped around the neck under the collar several times and the remaining short length pulled down and tight under the wraps?

 

[herringbonekid]

Patrick, it does look like that. what i wonder is: was it his own invention (possibly a modified knit tie) or a short lived trend worn by others ?

 

[Mr. Purple]

It looks as if he's used a sock for a tie. Or is it just me?

Knit ties are often compared to socks, especially if they are made of wool. This looks more like knitted silk to me.

The man looks like a cunning scoundrel of the worst order.

from 'Pandora's Box' 1929, directed by Georg W Pabst:

quite lightweight looking peaked lapel:

jazzy fabric:

big buttons and lots of them:

button-less and belted for the dames:

 

[Metatron]

Heh, I like the girl's look the best.
I think the end of a decade is the most interesting, because you see all the old and new styles melding.
