Lookin' good, Frank!

You got that right, Nick! I will take more photos and post them in the 1930s suit thread after I finish this movie.

Great colour coordination, and I love the hat

Today being the Lord's day this is what I wore to Mass.

All the Best ,Fashion Frank

Bought this amazing suit from Baron Kurtz - the flannel fabric is amazing, and after having the hem dropped an inch, the waist let out just a bit and a small hole fixed on the pocket, the fit is perfect. Bagged on a hanger, and waiting for fall....

Splendid!

 

[Tomasso]

Very nice! It has a bespoke look to it.

 

[splintercellsz]

Very sharp!

Yes - it lacks any kind of labels or maker's mark at all, which makes me wonder whether it is bespoke as well. It is by far the nicest 30's suit I own. I've been wearing my trousers skinnier like the rest of the universe lately, but the drape on these bags is amazing. Thanks again for finding this piece and parting with it, Baron.

I'd like to see his face when he's unhappy.

That's a stunner! What's the back length of the waistcoat?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

The rear length of that waistcoat is 17.75"

Patrick, I'm so glad it works so well for you. You can imagine what it looked like on someone 5' 2"!! It'll be a glorious autumn weight suit for you.

This, chaps, btw, is made of the most fantastic flannel - air force blue with grey chalk stripes.

 

[Patrick Hall]

Thanks for grabbing that measurement Baron - I was going to bust out my tape measure when I got home. Can't wait for sub 100F weather to wear it in!

Hi everyone!

I just recently got a giant bag full with old suits and shirts from my aunts ex-husband. Mostly double-breasted suits (still something I'm not used to, yet). Though, I'm pretty sure that they are not vintage, they might at least look the part. Below my favorite one of the whole pack. The brand is Pierre Cardin. However, no idea how old it might be.
Though, I'm not sure about the fit and think about letting a Tailor adjust it a bit. Any suggestions on that? And yeah, a grey hat might look better in that one (already ordered one )

My first double breasted 3-piece, a '40s Town-Clad from Penny's. Dark blue fabric with an interesting diagonally woven pattern.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Awesome suit with great fit, Nick! :eusa_clap

 

[Nick D]

Thanks, BK I'm very happy with it. Working on building my wardrobe back up after having to sell most of my vintage clothes, and this is a very nice addition.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

At least you're back in the country to pick up cheap(ish) stuff!

 

[Tomasso]

Awesome suit with great fit, Nick! :eusa_clap

Ditto! The back is especially well fitted for that cut of jacket.

Just picked up this mis-matched Palm Beach suit with a bunch of other pieces. I debated whether to keep it or not as it fits me fairly well (only needs the trousers let down slightly).

But I decided to give it a shot. There are some stains throughout that I'm working on. I just soaked the jacket in some soapy water and it's looking good.

The jacket is from the Bold Look while the trousers are NRA tagged, so from the mid-1930s. Even so, the material and color of both match and the pieces combine to make a nice looking suit.

If all goes well this will be my first cream summer suit as well as my first Palm Beach suit. Just in time for winter...
