    1958 Overcoat

    I recently picked up this 1958 overcoat, it is bespoke made and the upper section is canvas lined. I know this as there were numerous rips and tears that needed some temporary attention before a tailor does a proper job. The sleeve buttons are operable and even the buttonhole has a thread...

    I bought this suit from France, from someone clearing an old Chateau they had bought (or so the story goes...) I've put some pictures here, anyone got any thoughts on possible age? The material is probably wool and pretty weighty. Sorry, not much use as they are tiny, will try...

    Heard of this tailor, 'Henry' from Montpellier, France

    A while ago I bought a light blue suit from someone in France. It looks bespoke and the only label says 'Coupe par Henry Montpellier'. The suit is three button single breasted in a heavy wool, probably from the 1960's. I'll try and put some pictures on later. Does anyone had any info? Rob
