A few images from English tailoring catologues

[benstephens]

I am starting to scan in some of the images from a few of the 1930s tailoring catologues I have.

One of the images is continental and from a publication called London Styles.

These are a little guide to English Summer wear.

What a Gift!

I especially appreciate these two images.

These are especially helpful when one has only a single piece from a vintage suit. I have a number of vintage or vintage-inspired jackets without the pants. Images like these help the sartorially-challenged (me) put an ensemble together. They help me visualize a pair of winter white flannels, a dark blue double-breasted jacket, and a winter white fedora. Easy for some but challenging for others (count me in).

I think this is where the FL really makes a difference for those who may have a lot of the requisite pieces but are a bit challenged when assembling a unified image. I'm glad to see more of this in men's apparel. Frankly, the ladies do it better and more frequently than we do.

Thanks. These are a terrific resource! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
