Does anyone know a good source for men's suit patterns from the interbellum period? I would like to bring some illustrations to my tailor for a project I have been mulling over for some time. I believe I have a green light to move forward for my birthday so I need to get serious about the details...
I was thrilled when several members posted Apparel Arts images and others from period catalogs in the Fedora Lounge. These and many of the discussions in both the London Lounge and the Fedora Lounge have given me a fairly clear picture of what I want, down to the smallest details. My tailor is best acquainted with Edwardian and late 19th century sartorial history.
I am tempted to beg a favor from a friend, or perhaps and FIT student, to help me illustrate the 3pc suit I imagine with an extra odd waistcoat and trousers to be worn as a stroller of sorts along with a few shirts in with high Eton or club collar. I have a very long neck so my tailor already makes my shirts higher than usual, much to the dismay of my cleaner…
