Grab your coat and get your hat, we’re going shopping for menswear at On the Sunny Side Vintage Design, a gorgeous online store (and parallel Etsy shop) specializing in the “elegance and quality of the past.” Everything I see before me reads as luxe, from the colors to the fabric selections, it is a feast for the eyes in terms of what I, personally, love to see men wearing: high draped pants, just like Billie sang about; that black velvet waistcoat to pair with everything in the winter; a necktie of Art Deco swirling waves; 1920’s reproduction Oxford bags; that elusive evening waistcoat to go with your vintage tux; and on…custom garments are also available, if you like what you see here or elsewhere and want tailor/proprietor Sunny van Zijst to make something special for you.
Let’s talk about Sunny van Zijst, or rather, let her talk about her work, via the website: “I spend many hours looking into the originals that are the source of my work. The details, the construction, the fabric, they all matter. I try to get to the fundamentals of a garment, and work out what makes them iconic. The process of the making involves learning the old techniques, and combine them with modern techniques. I prefer to work with quality materials for outside as well as inside. Waistcoats, jackets and coats are tailored with hair canvas interfacing in order to give structure on the inside, and a natural drape on the outside. This makes a garment into a piece that is timeless and can be treasured a lifetime.” This is all music to my ears, of course!
Here are things I love from the website/Etsy site:
