For sale here is a real find, in the form of a heavy wool checked (not tweed really) town and country overcoat made in half belted slim cut with darted back. The coat features the large double breasted lapels typical of the period and large bakelite contrasting buttons, all present and correct, even the inside one. Both the cut of this coat and the fabric are quite rare to find now, it is an especially stylish item. Trouser sizing key – waist spare at waist x length spare at hem. A 38 reg traditionally. Excellent for the age although the lining shows some scuffs, the button holes have been repaired and there are some tiny imperfections to the cloth. In reality though it looks fantastic and is without visible wear once on the body. Over the last five years we have put together a collection of menswear with the aim to have the archetypal, most typical and most stylish example of all styles of coat, jacket, Blazer and Waistcoat from the twentieth century. In addition we have tried to find’ proto’ pieces, items of clothing which show creativity and changes in fashions. In order to help out the fashion industry we have only kept 38 and 40 regular fits (you can’t copy Bespoke unless you know it’s a regular fit). There are a few exceptions to the size rule but not many. Cloth can contribute to the item but is not the primary focus. The condition of the clothes isn’t important but some of course will be excellent and ready to wear. The three designations for condition are’ poor’,’ good’ and’excellent’. If you are intending to wear the items then really ignore all but’ excellent’. These items only make it in to the archive if they are particularly special, perfect examples of styles or of peaks in sartorial history of costume in the UK. Of course this is not a complete library and we are always looking for new items.
