i like the button stance and height of gorge. rather timeless.

I think it's the most accessible 20s cut I've encountered. I'm currently trying to decide whether or not this jacket is too big/long for me.

 

[Two Types]

Brilliant. What a splendid find.

If the fit isn't right (and i hope, for your sake, that it is) I'm sure you'll find a home for it.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I think he issue I'm having is the same one that others have described. It's just difficult to adjust to the very different fit of these jackets through the waist and hips. Admittedly not as extreme in this example as some others I've seen (and owned), though.

The Ceylon coat is just wonderful, and in an astonishingly good condition.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

The usual wear and tear but without any great gaping holes or horrible stains. Coupla very small moth nibbles and a little fraying in inconspicuous places. Certainly one to be worn, I'd say!

 

[Two Types]

My meagre contribution:

A tie made in England, but for a Kenyan shop. At least it helps to give some idea of what the well dressed man was wearing in the colonies.

 

[Fastuni]

Splendid!

 

[esteban68]

That's nice TT!

 

[Broccoli]

Nice thread. I'll contribute as much as I can:

Early 1920's cream flannels, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Will be worn this summer together with my white oxford bucks.
Small fishtail back, side adjustors. Stamps inside the lining, which has a "cheap feel" to it, as linings can feel in some 1910's suits. Four belt loops, only in the front. Typical lower rise fit. Note the custom buttons.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Very nice exotic items, guys!

 

[Two Types]

Argentina! And a British tailor as well (there used to be a very large British population in the Argentine).

 

[Metatron]

Love those cuffs.

 

[Broccoli]

Thanks guys.

I actually must confess that the cuffs were originally only around 2-3 cm on the trousers. But I had them let out, together with my preferred cuff width of 5cm. I mostly do adjustments that are period correct.

 

[Dinerman]

Harilela Emporium, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Belgian made zipper (labeled in English) and German (?) hook closure.

 

[herringbonekid]

i really like that bouclé type fabric.

This one's Spanish:

I was looking at a Luciano Barbera suit that was a similar colour but narrower stripes the other day.

 

[Dinerman]

Brazil

 

[Metatron]

That is gorgeous. That fur collar perfectly complements the herringbone tweed.

 

[Fading Fast]

That is an outstanding jacket - do you know anything about it other than country of origin?
