450 SHIPPED (CONUS)

For consideration is one bespoke ‘Sharkskin’ Gray wool men's suit. This highly customized piece was commissioned by me and worn sparingly. When not in use it was hung up and stored in a climate controlled environment (Cedar Closet). This is a NICE wearing suit (you won’t find this in stores) and I went to considerable lengths in its design details.. It’s a specialty combination of the suit styles and...

I am reminded of this by photos of one of our own so attired at the Hooverville picnic our Southern California compatriots attended a few days ago.

I assume the "look" came about organically -- a jacket that the missus decided was now worn enough to no longer be her man's Sunday best would be relegated to everyday...

For consideration is one unique and custom modified derby style hat made by Capas. This hat began its life as a Derby, however I had it reblocked to give it a more Fedora style pinch and look. I also had a piece of vintage Lucky Strike tin advertising affixed to the bow, which set against the black hat displays to great aplomb. The measurements & details of this unique piece are as follows:

This hat has a soft hand and luxurious feel to it, and will be a welcome addition to the discerning wearer looking for a smart and well put together piece of...

I bought this jacket at the Camarillo Brooks Brothers outlet back in 2002. It served me well everywhere and I wore it to death. I wore it to the point where friends were offering me jackets to get me out of this one. I loved it. I need to see if it can be taken in. The colors are perfect. The pattern is perfect. I wish it were a suit. It's now too big.
