Cool books

Two cool books on men's etiquette/manners/clothing style, one from the 50's and the other from the 30's. Both with great illustrations.

Whoa the 1930s one! Great! Love the illustrations.

 

[Mario]

Yes. And I can't tell you how amazed I was when I found out that the 50's book fetched more money, but that's probably because people consider the 50's more applicable...

Great deal. I have one like it so didn't bid.

Saw this. I think it's from the later '40s or the '50s. Notice the sheen of the fabric, and the pilling? Those say "DuPont" nylon or dacron blend to me. (Maybe rayon?) Nylon tends to pill; cotton, linen, or Palm Beach cloth do not.

Outstanding silhouette on this suit. Great cut! Great cloth! Reasonable price, too.

Did a Fedora Lounger win it?

I thought this blue suede waistcoat was quite nice, so bought it. Quite old (?) RM Williams.

Surprising low price. A little weird size-wise, but this seems pretty cool to me. German, DB waistcoat and everything:

Damaged vintage 1920s-'30s wool overcoat (not owned by a celebrity, not in a famous movie) fetches an enormous price: $3,000!

Bizarre must be for a film wardrobe.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Only one bid. Maybe the bidder was drunk or his mean Ex went to the account and bid for him^^

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Bizarre must be for a film wardrobe.

Nope. It was made by a specific manufacturer of American workwear that is highly sought-after by Japanese collectors nowadays. IMO, that's why it sold for such a high price.

Superb vintage 1940s Chesterfield overcoat by De Pinna, one of New York City's finest (and most expensive) tailors of the Golden Era. Did a Fedora Lounger win it?

I just picked this up on Ebay. I'm hoping the size is good for me, but I'm curious about the style of the trousers. Also, I'm wondering how old it might be. I'm guessing not earlier than 70's, possibly newer. Any thoughts, fellow Loungers?
Anyway, it looks mighty nice to me.

Yours has many elements of the '60s-revival suits and sportcoats being sold everywhere these days ... but I think that this suit really is from the '60s. Then again, it could a modern suit by a tailor whose signature style (like Jack Taylor's, in Beverly Hills) has hardly evolved since the '60s.

 

[dhermann1]

So the slash pocket is just a typical 60's feature? How about the beltless, suspender buttonless thing? Is that also a 60's thing? I'm thinking I may put suspender buttons in it.

Yes to all counts. (Though slash pockets actually date back to the 19th century, and went out of fashion in the early 1900s -- except on western wear).

 

[dhermann1]

So I guess all I need now is an Aston Martin and a Beretta ******. And, of course, a license to kill.

Sold...to me! Only bidder!
