Good morning lovers, this ones for the boys. We’re shifting focus in a ‘love my suit’ kind of way and giving consideration to the sharp suited gent and where he can find original vintage additions for his wedding day wardrobe.
I wanted to share with you details of the brilliant Tweedmans today, a Lincolnshire based company who specialise in the supply of original vintage suits, smoking jackets, tail jackets, accessories, waistcoats and more.
Tweedmans is run by Denise and her husband Steve…
“I started Tweedmans in 2005, although I had been running my own online ladies vintage shop for a couple of years before that. My husband Steve now runs Tweedmans with me, he is known by our customers as “The Teaboy” and many refer to him as that, although he does do so much more.
I just love a man in a sharp suit and decided that there were enough online vintage shops for the women but none dedicated to the men…”

You can see images from the full 1970s inspired lavendar field inspiration shoot above, right here, and Tweedmans are also the same company who recently supplied the suits for the wonderful Oxfam Wedding shoot {tune in later today to find out how much we raised from the auctions, which ended last night}…

“Vintage has always been such a passion for me, I just love anything with a bit of history and the quality is always so much better than modern mass produced clothing…”
The following images are taken from this 1920s inspired photoshoot that I featured back in March 2011…
