They become really awsome when you take 'em to a tailor and tell him "I want that!"

Chicago Suits Catalog
Matt,
I assume, then, that you have taken it to a tailor and have had them make one for you? If you have, that's awsome.  How much would one of those suits cost now days? Gabe

I used to do exactly that. I had all my suits made here:
Bhambi's Custom Tailors 14 E. 60th ST. New York, NY 10022 Phone: (212) 935-5379 about ten years ago. You go in. You pick out the fabric. Yes I want cuffs. Working button holes. Suspender buttons, not belt loops. A high rise. Broad shoulders. Nipped in at the waist. You want a vest? Sure! How bout a single breasted suit with peaked lapels? You know it! Too bad I don't fit into them anymore! Back to the gym for me! |

Good stuff for sure! That's what I would do if I had the cash.
I would have belt loops though. I like to have a choice wither I have braces or a belt. Never want the same thing every day. I like bets and braces. Belts were worn a lot in the 30's and 40's. Root.

Wiseguy...
...you should sell me the suits you can't wear anymore! And that catalog...it's sort of painful how great suits looked back then. Last edited by havershaw : 09-07-2004 at 04:29 PM. |

I think they looked better then the real thing did even then! Paintings have a way of selling the product better I think.
But, vintage still looks swell and much better then what is made today! Root.
