Unusual Color Suit

[Chad Sanborn]

My recent purchase on Ebay, was this nice 'coffee brown' suit. It fits like a glove!!! I took picks with the coat on and off and from the front and back. What type of waist do these pants have? Whatever it is, I like the way it hugs my hips. A great fit!

Great looking suit! You're lucky to find one that fits so well.

Fantastic Attire and Bearing, Chad

You could have taken the Ray Liotta part in Goodfellas!!!

If you walked around Howard Beach or 'Lil Italy, you'd be taken for a Made Man... You'd not be messed with. :arated:

NB: No T-shirts with that shirt, A-shirts only. Check out your pics again.

Wow, that is an incredible suit! I'm looking for unusual colors now too, I don't want people thinking up uptight just because I love suits. And that color is unusual but tasteful.

Unusual?

What's unusual about brown. Pretty standard for the day.

You've got a standard waistband with dropped belt loops. Very nice.

Yeah I know...One of my little fashion faux pas!

Sweet suit, I like the tie also that you picked for it with the matchign braces(suspenders). Maybe you could try the same set up, but with a green or blue v. the red? I have seen that suit color before and not in Goodfellas, hmm. Let me think about this one. Cheers.

Boy, that is a beautiful suit. It looks like it was tailored for you. The fit is perfect. The sleeves are the perfect length for a vintage suit, showing just the right amount of cuff. You put it all together very well.

I am thoroughly impressed with that suit. Absolutely amazing.

But, please do something about those shoes! How about some Spectators?

Welcome to the Pinkie Ringery.

Some brown wing tips or some two tone brown bucks (saddleshoes) maybe?

Nice suit quite a score! Maybe a vintage tie with that one?

Looking Good fella!

So, I make you laugh? So what am I funny like a clown?

That looks great!

By coincidence I bought a suit off Ebay which is very similar. It is being altered at present (to put on some braces buttons, etc...).

I'll post some pictures on this thread when I get it back next week.

Some suggestions to tweak the look:

(1) place a nice handkerchief in the breast pocket
(2) get your dry-cleaner to put a nice sharp crease down the sleeves, where the seam is at the back....

Best of look with this.

I do have some brown and white wingtips, but didn't have access to them when this picture was taken. I agree it will look the best with those on! Also, I could wear some white pants with that coat and the brown and white wingtips, and top it off with a white pocket square!

An excellent looking suit and it fits you very well. It is similar to my newest purchase and I can say I feel like a million in that suit. It never fails to garner a certain level of attention. Have fun in it, I bet you will have the same experience!

That is a really nice suit Chad!

 

[Matt Deckard]

Wow, congratulations, I love it. Now find me one.

The trousers are just single pleated and look like they fit at your natural waist, not too high, they look good on you.

Any date in the suit?

Double pleated (Look Closer) My money is on a Copy Right of 1949 on that puppy! I have two coats that color, one double and one single. It was a popular shade of brown in the 40's and 50's. A red/brown is always a nice shade, nothing unusual about it just unusual by today?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s standard black and grays.

If you've been around vintage as long as I or some of the other members, its one color you'll see mostly next to navy blue.

Chad, that's a great suit! I'm very happy for you and you wear it well my friend! The tie is modern but, has a classic color and pattern to it. It looks good but, you can always put it with a vintage tie to get the right length and look.

I also like your idea of cream pants with the coat!!! Very classy! I've done that combo now and again and I just love it!

Have fun with it man, enjoy it and treasure it! You have a nice suit!

You're right, double, My eyes need the glasses.

 

[3PieceSuitGuy]

Very nice suit

Fits you like a glove. It is always great when a purchase like that comes off so well.....

Some pictures of my new brown DB suit

Chad, I mentioned above I'd post some photos of my own new brown suit. I've opened up a new thread.
