Thread: Monsieur Le Boustouller

Hi There,
I am new to all this, having been introduced to Burlesque by my girl friend.
I really would like some information on mens clothing and where to buy. I do have some idea but would love some feed back.
Many thanks,
Pete

Hmm- Id be interested in this as well- I have two male friends who are getting into the burly nites we go to- we found the one some braces and a grandad shirt for a Billy from "chicago" sort of look but theres very little that caters for men- if youre more into the rockabilly side then iron fist do some pretty groovy T shirts?
I did wonder if theres any sites that cater to the ww2 re-enactors that might be suitable for a more 40's 50's feel?
The other good news is that some of the tamer steampunk outfits can be adapted to a burly feel and theres a fair few places on etsy that sell quirky cufflinks and pocket watches to vamp it up a bit!
Keep us posted on what you find!

you might be able to bag a bargain or even get some links to traders there...my hubby always tends to go for his ww2 uniform but has been knownto don rockabilly-esque togs too...just awaiting an opportunity for him to get out his ww2 civvy suit now....hurrah!!!!!

I do a more tailored menswear range if you are wanting something more bespoke.

Blokes seem to wear anything from victorian to 1950's at most events so just pick your favourite period and go with it.

If you aren't too tall you will probably find fab orginals that fit

Herr von Eden herr von eden does great vintage inspired stuff for men. but it's a bit pricy.

if you know what to mix. you can actually find really good vintage looks in places like primark and h&m....

Too true, my boyfriend found the nicest tweed double breasted blazer in Zara in January and it was in the sales for £20 down from £99
