SWD Discussion Thread for Tailoring

Love that jacket, any details?

Thank you, it's a favorite for sure.

It unfortunately falls under the fairly common occurance of being from some old swedish haberdashery of which there are absolutely 0 details about online or in records. These are the only two tags inside of it + two hanger pictures to show the great pattern-matching and shape.

The only remotely seemingly relevant info I've been able to find online is that there was someone called Erenus Ludvid Lagergren born in 1821 who was a tailor, but he apparently died before he was even 50 and I haven't been able to find any descendants with the same profession nor any company records for haberdasheries/tailor shops with the name either.

And while it's very fun to find further details on old pieces and figuring out from where and when they came from, the flipside in cases like these is that with 0 available info I tend to thrift them for really cheap. I think this particular jacket was maybe 15-20$, in basically perfect condition with no tailoring necessary.

Seems wearable in a non-cosplay way to me, not too sure where the line is drawn these days. Shoulders are quite narrow for a 41 right?

Glorious moquette in any case

Kind CM, pant is mildly flared though

 

[clee1982]

a bit on the high side and pants definitely on the wider side but some might find useful

Every contemporary gentleman needs a velvet jacket in his wardrobe: It is THE perfect item to wear when a business suit is not quite right and formal black tie a little too much. They add a touch of glamour and sophistication to any ensemble and our unusual dark caramel shade is equally elegant...
