This was part practising lighting/portraiture and part an excuse to finally get some good photos of this suit.
Bit more modern than many suits on here- a 1961 Henry Poole.
Very cool suit wear it in good health!

OooooniceWaistcoat from a CC41 suit I used to own. Bought way back when from Senator Jack, and never fit right, so sold it on.

Nice! Interesting the way the sleeve buttons start so far from the cuff - are they working buttonholes?

The sleeves were probably lengthened at some point. I'll bet there's practically no hem left on 'em.

Yes and no. The buttonholes are handsewn and working, but unbuttoning them is pointless as the sleeves are sewn shut, and the split in the lining inside the sleeve is sewn together. Marc is probably right about that past alteration.

Yeah, thought that was the most likely reason. Still a very nice suit though, with nice overall balance of colours. Enjoy it!

Classic stuff Marc. Looks like you just wandered into a posh 1920s golf club's auditorium where they were rehearsing a scene from "Private Lives".:eeek:

Thanks, Cookie and Chasseur! Yes, the flapper with the chrome yellow hair is none other than Annamarie Von Firley, the owner/head of reVamp. (She is also the person who actually sat at a sewing machine and made your Duke shirt!)

Hooray!
I spoke with Annamarie and encouraged her to start making 0.5-inch buttonhole openings for the Duke shirts' French cuffs. She agreed.

Ginger herringbone plusfours suit.
Somehow I can't post any pictures anymore...been gone too long.
Here it is:
http://spijkerstof.blogspot.com/2012/03/anglobelgian-ginger-herringbone-tweed.html
Anyway, I think that beltback book is a great idea! Look at some of Rin Tanaka's books, Michael Harris' Jeans of the Old West...nothing like it on vintage suits. There should be heaps of interest.
(Hope they won't close this thread now, too)
