A variegated herringbone from an SB suit from the early 40s (American):

And a check tweed from a plus-fours suit from the late 20s/early 30s (American):

i'm digging the brown and blue glencheck.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Cool, ain't it? And very very tiny. Even on me . . .

This is unique, I once had a Stefano Ricci knit shirt with a similar pattern, in brown.

from a distance, with the blending of the faded blue and red flecking it appears purple. Very cool.

Two more...
First one: 1940's german peacoat: Interesting story behind this one.

Second one: I believe it to be an early 50's suit...Not quite sure on that tho.

 

[herringbonekid]

peacoat ? looks like a norfolk jacket from here.

great fabrics though !

 

[slicedbread]

I'm not sure if this is called a peacoat...but i think it is...Please do correct me if I'm wrong

 

[herringbonekid]

DEFINATELY not a peacoat.

a peacoat is a double breasted short overcoat that come from naval use originally (usually navy blue with metal buttons).
yours is a belt-back sports jacket. looks to be late 40s/early 50s. very nice fabric. looks like harris tweed.

 

[slicedbread]

It's a german coat from the 40's that a seamstress made for her husband...Very nice fabric indeed. Thank you for straightening things out for me HBK

I only thought it was a peacoat because the seller called it a peacoat...lol

Or go really old school and wear long under-drawers.

Isn't that what long johns are? [huh]
.

Whoops, missed this one. No, I'm talking the pre-union-suit underdrawers, made from woven cotton or linen. They're roughly comparable to pajama pants. Not unlike having a separate lining for your trousers.
