The lavender one arrived, and according to The Baroness there's a handwritten label that says 1926 …

I think a bit latter actually Baron in my opinion. It is interesting to see the early Burberrys label as well. My thoughts strangely are around the 1936-38 period, yet I may be off. Just the lapels and trousers waist band. The earlier suits I have do not have such full lapels.
What a corking suit though! Would love to own it!

Yes it is and, IIRC, it went for a corking price too. This would be 4 or 5 years ago now.

Yes it was a lovely suit. I have noticed that on the Burberrys Macs, they often have a date and customer name label under the large Burberrys label. I have never seen one yet with the date fillled in!Originally Posted by Baron Kurtz

excellent shots.
TT, you've heard me say this before but i'll say it again for anyone who hasn't heard it; the mid 20s in England (once the forward-looking wider trousers arrive) hardly looks any different to the mid 30s. only the narrow button stance on that DB suit really stands out as earlier.
in the first photo they appear to have pocket watches dangling from their lapels. in the second photo... medals ?
