Guide To Tailoring

This is a reproduction of an excellent, comprehensive guide to tailoring and mending men's trousers, vests and coats. Originally published by The Master Designer in 1935.
It beautifully illustrates the methods and techniques used for tailors in the 1930's.
Maybe a little out of date now but still beautiful to learn and look at!

Mona Lisa Thread Portrait

Lebanon-based custom tailors Ejjeh & Sons recently renovated their shop and decided to promote the changes with a modern art installation. The company commissioned advertising agency République Beirut and the team produced this depiction of the Mona Lisa created out of 2,156 spools of thread in 63 colors. With the pixelated custom-design, the shop hopes to appeal to a broader audience and to draw in a new generation of customers.
The interpretation of the classic portrait took ten designers working for three months to plan it out. One by one and row by row, the various shades of thread were placed onto a pegboard, which took about nine hours to complete. The installation is prominently displayed through the glass of the storefront where passers-by can check out the intricate image and, ideally, be intrigued to find out more about the clothing inside.

The Oxford Suit


Oxford Baggies originated on the campus of Oxford University, England, during the summer of 1925. The full cut of these pants and cuff with a circumference of 22 inches allowed students to easily slip them on over their beloved knickers, which had been banned by the University. 

We love this vintage image! How times have changed!
