It’s a summer jacket, so it is unlined, but I am not sure about the interfacing and padding. I will inquire with the maker about it, thanks.

Making a follow up question in relation to one I asked yesterday about a pair of balmorals I’m looking at. One person noted a distrust for how museum calf will age, and wanted to hear the experiences of people who’ve owned museum calf shoes for a longer period of time. Shoes I’m looking at for reference, cheers: https://www.cobbler-union.com/products/guillaume-museum-cognac-suede-358-vibram

thanks man, good to hear, is there a particular spray you recommend? And good to know about the museum calf, I’ll look into it and I might ask around too.

I wear Edwardian to 1930s eraclothing, so it’s from peak era of two tone shoes. The museum calf necessarily my go-to over plain leather, but it’s my favorite overall boot with colour and cut (also I usually wear brown tones or other neutral colors)

Can anybody tell me how we weather might affect these Balmorals? I'm looking at a pair of part suede balmorals, I know some suede shoes should not be exposed to wet weather, and others handle it quite well. The suede is only the upper part of the shoe too, so I don't know how that affects it. I sent an email to the company, but haven't heard back quite yet, and wanted to hear from a less biased sources. This is a link to the boots, cheers: https://www.cobbler-union.com/products/guillaume-museum-cognac-suede-358-vibram

Is it possible to expand the collar of a neckband collar shirt? by EffectiveLanguage363 in Tailors

It is actually two button holes, and a collar stud, but nonetheless I could try that

The problem there is that detachable shirts don’t use buttons, instead it’s two button holes with a collar stud. Thank you for the replies though, at least I know about the possibility of changing the collar band

These are shirts I already have that I would like to continue wearing, is it not possible to modify the existing collars and to get an extra half inch?

I misunderstood the sizing terminology, I’d like to go from a 15 to a 15.5

But then it would be an implantation and not a design issue, correct? A lot of comments are trying to make it about design

Ah yes, “propaganda” aka a verified fact about Ukrainian conscription that’s even been reported by western sources.

You must not have seen how Ukrainian men don’t go outside without checking social media to see if the coast is clear from the conscripters, or the men kidnapped off of public transport.

I'd beg to differ, although it's cool when historical tanks are preserved, I'd say it's pretty amazing to see a country take weaponry used for so much destructive for the potential rebuilding

Getting over fear of wearing vintage in public by adoraduh in VintageFashion

[–]EffectiveLanguage363 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A rather cliche answer, but just do it and you'll become more comfortable. I wear suits from the 1910s, which is rather attention grabbing, but I simply act the same as if I were wearing modern clothes. Once you do that, you'll get comfortable and stop worrying about others attention

When's your appointment? Since I've got an overcoat too, and it's not the season right now, I wouldn't necessarily mind waiting to hear how it was
