It's too bad that he left. He was a wonderful resource for everyone here, even those, like myself, who mostly lurk. It's better for him, though, if it's going to remove some frustration from his life. I actually think it's a bigger shame that he removed all of his photos, since we can no longer...

I'm watching this one with great interest.

I agree. I've got a suit made by Burton in the 40s which has a jacket almost identical to that brown one. I've never really been satisfied with it. The proportions of the two-button jacket make it much more elegant.

Just finished Miller's Crossing. The costumes were pretty bad. And the hats were especially terrible. But it was a decent movie nonetheless.

Reminds me a bit of Brian Donlevy's suit from The Great McGinty, though I think Hartnell's is better.

It really is fantastic. I should have snatched it up while there was still a BIN option. $350 is going to seem like a steal, considering what it might go for now.

That's some cut.

Thanks. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. It'll be a week or two before I have it in my hands, though, being in Japan and all.

Yeah, I snagged it. I'm pretty happy about that.

Yeah, they will do that. As I live in Japan, I should really try to see whether I can't find some of those reproductions. I still haven't found a decent vintage shop yet. But I also don't get down to Tokyo much.

The seller removed the BIN option from the Austrian (thanks, Flat Foot Floey) suit. Seems he thinks he can get more than $350 for it. And it occurs to me that he's right.

If Marc can't, I surely can. I've got my eyes on those indeed.

Yeah, I've got my eye on that one, too. As nice as the German suit is, I prefer the fabric on the one you bought. I'd also need to alter it, which increases its price somewhat.

Add me to the Seriously Considering These Club.
