Gabardine is a tough, tightly woven fabric used to make suits, overcoats, trousers and other garments. The fibre used to make the fabric is traditionally worsted wool, but may also be cotton, synthetic or mixed. The fabric is smooth on one side and has a diagonally ribbed surface on the other. Gabardine is a form of twill weave. Cotton gabardine is sometimes used by bespoke tailors to make pocket linings for office-type suits where the pocket's contents would quickly wear holes in the usual flimsy pocket lining material.

A Ricky Ricardo jacket is a gabardine (both wool or cotton or blend) short sports jacket with a camp shirt type collar and a straight hem. They were THE thing in the 40s and early 50s. Many were often two-toned: tan and black, houndstooth and solid in different colors etc. They would be similar in concept to a cotton gabardine golf jacket like a barracuta but not in style. THEY WERE COOL.

In general, Italian uniforms were GREY, but not the Grey-Green like the Germans. Their uniforms were a fine gabardine material. However, many Italian uniforms worn in the field were more GREEN, especially the winter uniforms. Of course, the desert troops wore TAN. And the Italians, like the Germans, had WHITE summer dress uniforms. Note: In the movie "Captain Correlli's Mandolin", the color of the uniform appears to have too much BLUE tint. But this movie has some great examples of Italian Uniforms of WW2. At first, I thought the yellow insignia on the hat was incorrect for an artilleryman. Most armies use YELLOW for Cavalry. But the Italian army used YELLOW as the branch color for Artillery. RED was used for their elite units.

Elvis' jumpsuits were actually made of wool suiting imported from Italy with a similar weave to what you would see in an Italian wool suit on today's market. The fabric was much heavier than the polyester gabardine that many tribute artist use today. It was more suited for the heavy stones that were affixed to Elvis' suits so that there would be no drooping of the material. Check out this image:
http://media.photobucket.com/image/elvis%20sundial%20jumpsuit/GeordieBroon/Jumpsuits/236.jpg
You can easily see that the suit is wool suiting and not polyester gaberdine.
And on the note of color; the suits that many people believe to be white, such as the Fringe suit, the Aloha Eagle, the Peacock, and the Sundial, are actually ivory.

The trench coat is a descendant of the heavy serge coats worn by French and British soldiers in World War 1. The trench coat was invented by Thomas Burberry (he also invented the gabardine fabric), who submitted a design for an army officer's raincoat to the war office of the UK in 1901. Burberry's raincoat subsequently became part of the service uniform of British officers. During WWI, the design was modified to include D-rings and shoulder straps. The latter material looks like leather and was dubbed "trench coat" by the soldiers in the trenches. Many veterans returning to civilian life kept their coats and they became fashionable for both men and women. Towards the end of WWII, the trenchcoat became part of all enlisted men's and officers' kits in the armed forces of many countries.

According to a website called "Lyrics Mode," these are the words:
"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America
"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America
Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"
"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field
"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
All gone to look for America
All gone to look for America.

When choosing the best material for formal pants, especially in Pakistan, several factors like comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal come into play. Here's a detailed guide to help you make an informed choice:
Best Materials for Formal Pants
1. Wool
Wool is a classic choice for formal pants due to its natural breathability and wrinkle resistance. In Pakistan, where winters can be chilly, wool pants provide warmth without compromising on style. They drape well and offer a luxurious feel, making them suitable for both office wear and formal events.
2. Cotton
Cotton is another excellent option, especially for warmer climates like those in Pakistan. It is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, making it ideal for year-round wear. Cotton pants are easy to maintain and come in various finishes, from smooth to textured weaves, offering versatility in style.
3. Linen
Linen is prized for its exceptional breathability, making it perfect for hot and humid climates prevalent in parts of Pakistan. Linen pants have a relaxed, casual elegance, though they can wrinkle easily. They are best suited for less formal occasions or casual Fridays in an office setting.
4. Polyester Blends
Polyester blends are gaining popularity for formal pants due to their durability and crease resistance. These fabrics often incorporate synthetic fibers like polyester with natural fibers such as wool or cotton. They offer ease of care and maintain a polished appearance throughout the day.
5. Twill and Gabardine
Twill and gabardine weaves are commonly used for formal pants due to their durability and smooth finish. These fabrics have a diagonal weave pattern that adds texture and depth to the fabric, making them suitable for business attire.

Charlie was a young man living in New York. He was married to Louisa. Charlie's hobby was stamp-collection (philately). Charlie appeared to be suffering from fear, insecurity and fear of the war-ridden world. He was looking for an escape from this world. His longing for some idyllic and peaceful place like Galesburg made him stray to a corridor at Grand Central Station that took him to the Third Level of the station from where one could take train to the past, year 1894.
When he shared this incidence with his wife, she felt angry at it; she asked him to see his psychiatrist friend, Sam. Sam explained the unique experience to be Charlie’s waking dream wish fulfillment. He further explained it could have happened because of his unhappiness or hobby of stamp collection.

Fabric is made of fibers that are gathered from the source, spun into threads and then they are woven or knit into fabrics. Fibers can come from many sources, plants, animal hair, insects, and crude oil. Well know plant fibers are Cotton, linen, hemp, and rayons that come from bamboo, pine, spruce and hemp. These are spun and processed into denims, t-shirtings, twills, khakis, voiles, broadcloths poplins, cotton is an especially versatile fibre and made into literally thousands of weights, textures, knits and weaves. it's the world's favourite fibre.
Animal fibers include wool, alpaca, cashmere, and any other fibre that is obtained by shaving, shearing or brushing and animal's fur. Wool is the source of suiting, flannel, gabardine, heavy melton for winter wear, and it's blended with alpaca for lightness, or cashmere for softness or synthetics for durability.
Silk is from the cocoons of the silk moth. Silkworms eat mulberry leaves, then they spin a cocoon, and the cocoons are soaked in hot water until they are loose and clean, hen they are spun and woven. Silk is the most expensive fibre and maxes luxury fabrics such as satin, crepe de chine, peau de soie, brocades, shantungs, and noils.
Synthetics come from crude oil processed into chemical polymers. Polymer based fibers include polyester, polyamide, nylon, antron, acrylic, modacrylic, and many patented brand names. They are wash and wear fabrics, and some are warmer than wool and lighter than silk. Many are cheap and look cheap. Synthetics are best when blended with a natural fibre. The end result is a fabric that has the durability of a synthetic but the softer and natural look of a natural fibre.
This is barely an overview. I studied fibers fabrics, and textiles in school, it's an integral part of fashion design and technology. Some fashion schools offer degree programs in textile and fabric technology.

For women, semi-formal attire is somewhat flexible. Women can wear a dress, pant suit or dress suit. Preferred fabrics for semi-formal attire for women include silk, velvet, rayon, cashmere, high quality polyester brocades, or velour. Usually, anything silky goes. Except for cashmere, a wool business suit is not considered semi-formal attire since it is not dressy enough.
Hem lengths in semi-formal attire dresses vary. Dresses can be cocktail dresses, no more than an inch above the knee, or they can extend to the ankle. Dress suits, for example, a silk suit, usually has a hem length slightly above, at or below the knee. Pants suits, again in silk, polyester, or cashmere, tend to be worn at the ankle. One can also wear dressy tops and tuxedo pants made out of appropriate fabrics and still fit into the semi-formal attire group.
Generally semi-formal attire also means dress heels for women, usually in colors coordinating with one's outfit. However, a dressy flat or strappy sandal with the appropriate outfit is also considered semi-formal attire. Low, comfy flipflops are not dressy enough to be called semi-formal attire.
For men, semi-formal attire means wearing a full suit, with vest optional. A tie, either bow or straight, should be worn, and the shirt should be a simple button down. Suit fabric choices are primarily wool gabardine or cashmere. However, a wool blend will do. Linen or seersucker suits are not formal enough for semi-formal attire. Dress shoes like oxfords are worn. It is not necessary to wear a tuxedo, and one might be considered a bit overdressed for a semi-formal event showing up in a tux.

The kepi hat was replaced with the Visor cap and the "Bustina". The Bustina was unique to the Italian army and it was a folding hat similar to the US overseas cap but with a strap over the top and a bill that was usually folded up.
The Fascists units called "Black Shirts" wore a black shirt and tie. The Air Force uniform was a shade of blue. In battle, the Italians wore the grey uniform. In the desert war, they wore a tan uniform and shorts. Some wore a special shirt with a unique design called a "Sahariana".
There were two specialized troops in the Italian Army(besides the Black Shirts). The Alpini (Mountain) troops were trained for mountain warfare and they were distinguished by a soft hat with a crow's feather(reminds one of Robin Hood). The Bersaglieri were elite corp of sharpshooters/light infantry, distinguished by a bundle of black rooster feathers worn on helmets(or also worn on Tropical pith helmets or on their round, black hat with flat brim).
Italy had a specialized Marine Infantry unit, known as "X-mas(pronounced Deci-mas, short for 10th Flotilla Unit). They wore a camoflaged version of the collarless tunic and commonly wore a rolled-neck sweater under it.
The Italian paratroopers wore a camoflaged pull-over smock and over this they might wear a vest that held machine gun clips horizontally across the front and back---commonly referred to as the "samurai vest".
The regular army was issued a camoflaged poncho that could be used as a tent.

Mens' and women's fashions in the US and Europe were somewhat influenced by military dress throughout the 1940's. Many more women entered the workforce in the 1940's and suits became more common for them.
Women's dresses and skirts went just below the knee, and women wore pants more often than in previous decades. Denim jeans and gingham shirts or tight sweaters were fashionable for women's casual wear.
Fashion in menswear changes more gradually than women's. Denim jeans became an item for casual wear, not just for work or children. For casual wear, gabardine shirts and jackets made from DuPont Rayon were introduced, sometimes blended with wool.
Women's dress wear included suits with padded shoulders form fitting skirts and platform open-toed shoes. Men's suit coats were often double breasted with long and wide lapels and shoulder pads. Suit pants were usually pleated with cuffs, high waistlines and somewhat baggy, with more fabric than today's fashions. Ties were short and wide, often printed with abstract geometric or floral designs. Wing-tip shoes and fedora hats were common dress wear accessories,
Bermuda shorts for men and culottes for women became more common for casual wear for adults in summer. Sandals for men and women became more common. Hawaiian shirts became more common for men, perhaps influenced by the US presence in the south Pacific.
Solid colors predominated. Charcoal, olive green, brown and navy blue for men's and women's suits. Likewise for shirts and blouses. A dress shirt for a man meant white starched cotton.
Generally speaking, people dressed better in past decades than they do now. The clothing itself was of a much better quality, and people kept their clothing longer.
A $32 J.C. Penny off-the-rack men's wool suit from 1946 would cost over $1200 in today's money. The material alone would cost over $700 and would be the finest, top-shelf Italian wool. Materials were thicker and heavier and kept their shape.
