In any case i thank M. Gonzalez for having a suit made in my size, and the later owners (if there were any) for looking after it so well for so many years.

Haha! Finally I can post in this. Now this is what I SHOULD have worn at the QM:
Ok, ok so technically its not MY suit, but still I like it.

Great suit Ken, I love those lapels.
Sadly, all modern, but I do what I can with what I can (I'm the gentleman on the left, and on the right is my ever-talented attorney and animal trainer, Farnham54). hey Matt, any chance you could post a good one of the hunting jacket I wore on Saturday night? I didn't get any decent pics of it.

This is my new Hart, Schaffner, Marx jacket (no pants). Tell me if you think its more on the blue or green side.
It's a bit big in the shoulders, so I'm going to get it taken in.

Blue green. I'd say more blue then green but, there is a touch of it nevertheless. I'll say it's a dark slate blue. How's that?

An early-mid 50s DB that i picked up on ebay about a month ago for $18.50. I think noone else bid because the seller had somehow managed to measure the trousers waist at 26 inches. I took a gamble and the waist turns out to be 30-31 inches. Perfect! The first i've bought that needed no alteration at all ... what a steal. I apologise for the number of images. I tried to reduce their file sizes as much as possible:
Full length
Full Length w/ Zombie face
Jacket close-up
High waist pants - 12 inch rise
Dropped belt loops close-up
And it Passes the Deckard test
A couple of details:
Excellent buttons & cool wavy stitching behind the collar
NICE SUIT!!! My bet is that it's early 40's! The color of the buttons tell me it's some what earlier then the 50's! See how they contrast with the color of the suit? That's a late 30's early 40's style. LOVE IT!!! You did really good my friend!
Now, just a quick trip to the barbers and you'll be a real sharpie! Clean cut suit requires a clean cut!
Nice suit brother! Nice suit!

My winter plumage, sir! Anyone who lives in the midwest these last two days will understand the requirement for lots of head/ear coverage.
But i have been thinking of a trim. Might make my stratoliner fit a bit better
Maybe this:
If i still smoked the look would be my ideal ...

Go for the Bogart look friend! Even with out the cancer stick, it would look like a million! And yes, your hats will fit way better! As for the cold Midwest weather, I lived in central Canada for two years! A good thick scarf and a fedora worked perfect! Does it get down to -50 in your neck of the woods?
Once a gain, sweet suit!

Ahem, no. One more excuse for keeping my hair proved false :rage:
Just got a call from the tailor. My latest ensemble is ready for pickup. 40s jacket w/ modern, but vintage styled (quite accurate) trousers from Dolce and Gabbana. Pics will follow.

p.s. many thanks to everyone for the compliments. It makes the world of difference when walking past the jeering locals on campus every day to know there are people out there who appreciate well cut clothing.

Scenes from Templars... Looks good.
I can't help associating Dr. Jones with Dr. Who. Must be the different actor thing.

Yeah it was a nice suit. a shame there wa sno time to have the costume department (ie - Lauren) alter it properly to my size (ie - slicing the bottom off the legs to be a better fit).

40's 3 Piece Suit
Hello Ladies and Gents,
As per your suggestion I am posting a picture of me in my 40's 3 piece suit that I wore in a recent musical I was in. I was playing a very formal englishman and as you can see had the full slicked hair. I actually purchased the suit on the web from Vintage Silhouettes.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
Peter
