A very nice jacket... and it being a linen I think the patch pockets go hand in hand with the look, I tend to think of wrinkle able summer wear as clothes which can really take added features. http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1368/sanstitrelr1.jpg I used to stay away from linen jackets and suits b...

Hemrajani shirt

I don't think I showed it here so for good measure here are the details and the tale. I mostly care about the collar since that's the primary part that is seen. I finally got around to having some shirts made this year and since i was having that done I decided why not get the collar I want. I was v...

Glad you're pleased with the Art's hat. He's good at making that 30's high crown and he's gotten more into the shorter brims.

I just hope the low sloaping crowns stay at bay for a few decades. Anone else have hats to share?

One piece cap... Vintage

I picked this up at a local WWII reenactors meet in Long Beach California. It is one of my favourite styles though very elusive. You see it on alot of the stars in the early 30's. The cap is one large piece fabric for the crown; one piece.

I would notice, and do notice.

I also like it when they do the flat feld seams along the side of the trousers.

Would the contrast be as extreme between a pair of three-button, single-breasted suits closed only by the center button? Yes, and I'll show you the pics. It would have looked worse if I had left the top button undone, not only would the shoulder be high, the chest would have expanded heavily as wel...

Took some pics for refference. The lower the armhole the higher the jacket rises, and the more uncomfortable it is to move around. The higher the armhole cut, the easier it is to move around.

I hope this has soemthing to do with the topic. I had a bad experience with a made to measure suit that I had made several years back. I ordered a three button jacket with the lapel rolled to the top button and the jacket came as a two button. I was ignorant at the time and the store (The Alden Shop...
