    I’m surprised- I have a Mallory tweed waistcoat and it seems practically bulletproof.

    The corduroy Fitzrovia is a 44, but not on the market I’m afraid. I’ll keep you in mind should it come to a sale.

    Old Town

    Thank you. It was pricey in my view just over £500 (bought direct from Japan via a proxy buyer), but a lot cheaper than advertised on EBAY (£850 BIN) - same jacket. The corduroy version (not limited edition) on the other hand is slightly lesser quality (but still comparable with OT). It shares...

    This is my current favourite though: Edward Atkinson/Surgeon Jacket by Nigel Cabourn.

    Old Town

    Here is the Fitzrovia (olive green corduroy). I have a three piece suit as well in this style (Fitzrovia/single breasted waistcoat/High Rise & Plains) in navy moleskin. Yes, I’ll pull together some photos.

    Old Town

    I agree: my nicest OT garments are the discontinued lines. I wore my corduroy ‘Fitzrovia’ a fortnight ago and had forgotten the sheer quality of the workmanship and the detailing. I have an older ‘Lounge’ in the Lovat tweed, it’s a size too small, but I’m reluctant to sell as I don’t know...

    I’m about to order a pair of High Rise in black canvas to match a Stanley and a Straight Edge Waistcoat in biscuit twill.

    Old Town

    I can’t recall having seen Monty in Plains, they always appear to be High Rise with braces in Navy or Engineer’s Navy twill, but I might have missed something. The jacket does vary between the Marshalsea, the Stanley, what looks to be a French chore jacket, and an OT jerkin in the winter months...

    Still looking for a Nigel Cabourn Edward Atkinson’s tweed surgeon’s jacket in a Euro size 54 or 56.

    Cleaning acetate eyeglass frames

    Avoid any strongly polar organic solvents (acetone, ethyl acetate/nail varnish remover, trichloroethane/thinners, etc.). Try a cotton wool pad containing a little petrol (petroleum spirit isn’t likely to damage/dissolve the polymer of the frames), but should remove any build up of oily residue...

    Apologies, but I can’t find the price. What are you asking? What is the width (widest part of sole) please?

    Old Town Fitzrovia jacket (green olive corduroy).

    Old Town

    I’ve been collecting Old Town for almost ten years now so I tend to know what works for me in terms of patterns (I’ve visited Holt and London to try stuff on), but I’ve still had some misses (only on the used market though). It’s usually when I ignore the dimensions as I ‘want the garment to...

    WTB Nigel Cabourn Surgeon Jacket (size 4/54)

    Hello, I’m new to the forum and seeking a Nigel Cabourn Dr Edward Atkinson/Surgeon Jacket in a rare larger size. I’m looking for a jacket to use often so I’m not concerned about minor evidence of wear. I need at least a size 4 (54), and prefer the brown tweed that was produced especially for the...

    Old Town

    Yes a great maker with real style, just looking through the wardrobe now: 2 shirts, 2 jerkins, 4 waistcoats,12 jackets, 11 trousers, 3 caps, 3 ties, a scarf, a belt, and a smock. I’ve sold on around a dozen items that didn’t quite fit or suit my frame (including an impulse buy pair of jodhpurs...

    Old Town

    Just love Old Town/Tin House clothing. Several years ago I practically cleared out/sold my wardrobe and replaced it with new and used Old Town gear. My work and casual clothes are now a mixture of cotton drill, moleskin, corduroy, and linen. Always on the lookout for jackets and waistcoats (ch...
