I really like this suit, it looks so comfy and casual, and yet, so elegant...Originally Posted by resortes805
Here's a pretty classic looking 30's suit in a not-overly-amazing brown check fabric. Wide notch lapels, double-pleated patch pockets and a super-nipped waist. Unfortunately, the pants have been lost to time, I only have the jacket and the vest - but if anyone on here has trousers in about the same fabric, PLEASE let me know! I'd kill to unite a pair of trousers to this suit! It's undated and has no labels on any kind in it, but appears to me to be late 30's (though I'm no expert.)
While the fabric isn't too crazy, this jacket is one of my favorites because the back is insane. It's got four strips of fabric down the middle of the back that form five vertical pleats over the back belt. Any subtle flex while wearing the suit opens up the pleats and makes this jacket breath like shark gills. It's gaudy, but kinda cool!
I threw it on to show off the pleats in the back a bit:
"The future waits for no one, not even you."
Another splendid outfit! Keep these coming.
That jacket and waistcoat are just crying out for a pair of cream flannel trousers.

You've hit it out of the ball park with that suit Hyena. Great to see the photo of the back pleats in action!
