What's your favourite fabric and pattern for a suit?

I'm sure i have a lot to learn from you all here, and i'd like to avoid some traps for my next suit. Something i already know is that i hate suit jackets that keep some winkles after you sat somewhere! So, what kind of fabric is preferred? What kind of pattern?...

SUBBACULTURE: 1969 Style

1969 Style

Some great examples of 1969 suedehead style here from artist Adrian Jeanes personal site. As pointed out on the Traditional Skinheads forum a couple of these could have been from anytime from 69 up to the present day. They perfectly capture the subtle, ever evolving look from skinhead, with its close relation to mod through to suedehead with the hair getting a little longer. These pictures shown here are from…

Reflections on Love on YouTube

I could be late to the party with this, but I've just noticed Reflections on Love is on YouTube in its entirety. Not that's it's a long entirety, the swinging sixties short from 1966 by Joe Massot (the man behind the Wonderwall movie) is only about 12 minutes long, so you should be good for slipping it into your lunchtime viewing.Anyway, it's…

New Velvet Cave auctions for men

We have featured Velvet Cave's auctions in the past, but this one is interesting because it's the first one to add men's clobber into the mix. A mixed bunch of '60s items as you might expect for both men and women, although there is a leaning towards for the late '60s for this latest batch.Not that's it's exclusively from that…
