    Beautiful DATED SB 3-button grey/earth herringbone suit sz 44 Jun 17, 1959

    Gentleman, Another spectacular suit. I know that the fuller cut suits from the 1950 and 1960s don't get the same love as their earlier brethren, but this suit is special. Made by Traditionals and originally sold at Cotrells in Denver, CO, this is one of the finest 1950's suits I've ever seen...

    Any thoughts on a 'Suit Trading' thread?

    Okay, here's the deal - I will, on occasion, find nice vintage suits. Occasionally they may fit me. Probably a little more than half the time, they do not. I still can't pass on them for being such a great find. So now I have a great vintage suit...that doesn't fit. I could sell it...but I...

    1930s belted back leisure/sporty suit jacket top found

    Hey guys, I know this is not a 'leisure' suit top, but I don't really know what else to call it. Very similar to the 2 jackets found on the 4th scan of the 35/36 Wards catalog in post #1...

    Requesting some thoughts on the lapels on this 1930s/1940s jacket

    Hello gents, I found this coat the other day - an ultra cool suit jacket (most likely an orphan) for $2. It has a '39 tag and I'm thinking it is closer to the beginning of the time frame since it has roped shoulders and a very suppressed waist. I love the thing...but what is giving me...

    18 vintage bow-ties! Individually priced, most $7!!

    Hey guys! I have some vintage ties up for sale! Each tie is being sold individually, so if you only want 1, cool. If you want 10, cool! I estimate most of these are vintage 1950s-1960s, but I know very little about vintage bow ties, so they could be older or newer. They are not the huge...

    Gentleman, I figured I would throw this one at the experts. I have several nice pieces from my collection that I am in limbo about keeping or not. A few late 50s/early 60s suits and sport coats/orphans that I had just assumed were too big for me and had been purchased before I knew some finer...

    1930s vertical/horizontal belted youth knicker suit

    Hey guys, I made a purchase of a belt-back suit coat just recently and the place where I found it also had a knicker suit from what was presumably the 1920s or 1930s. The size was for a youth, as I am a 38 and it would not come close to fitting me. The actual suit was in poor shape -...
