Vintage Suit Cache

Lawman · Jan 3, 2009

At a local vintage shop, I found a very nice cache of vintage suits, probably a half dozen or so. Three or four from the 40s, and about as many from the 1950s. Among them, a very rare 1940s grey plaid in 46L, with size 44 waist trousers. Also, a truly incredible Hickey Freeman from the 1940s in a burgundy tweed that is so heavy it must weigh 15 pounds. Also a 1940s pale blue flannel with some moth damage. The prices were all in the $50 to $65.00 range. Any interest here? If so, send sizes. Not a sale for profit post.

Also, found a box of dead stock/new old stock handkerchiefs, still in their box. They appear to be cotton. Some have minor lettering, but are original folded and tied with satin ribbons. If anyone has interest I can pick them up. They were 15 bucks for 10 hankies

The burgundy tweed. Size pit to pit?

If that H Freeman is a small one, i'd be interested. Burgundy is distinctly missing from my wardrobe. Size 36 and smaller is best for me.

If these suits are really of the era you suggest, you shouldn't have trouble selling them on. Might make sense just to pick them all up then try to sell them here. If not, eBay.

Guys, thanks. I'll shoot back there tomorrow. I will report back.

There were also two grey hamburgs, one a Dobbs and the other a Royal Stetson, one in 7 3/8 and the other 7.5....

I'd kill for the 7 3/8, if you find that it doesn't fit, ot is otherwise not to your liking!

Lawman, tried to PM you, but your box is full. I'm a 40R, 33W, 32L in trousers. Anything it that size? Thanks.

DOUGLAS · Jan 4, 2009

Lawman, You are full up. I am a 44 if you have anything.

GWD · Jan 4, 2009

I'm interested too. 46L here. Let me know!!

abduktedtemplar · Jan 4, 2009

is that 7.5 still up for grabs? pics?

Anything with a 44s chest and 42 waist?

Baron Kurtz · Jan 4, 2009

Up to measured 40" chest (anything from measured 37" to 40" will work for me). No longer than 30" from base of collar to hem in back.

Measured 28-33 waist will work.

They must be exceptional for me to want them: i.e. the burgundy. I have my fingers crossed that it's a small 'un.

It must be absolutely certainly, no doubts, from the 30s to early 50s. And only in good condition. I can deal with small moth holes, but if there are more than about 6 or 7 in visible places, that's no good.

Any other 40s 50s suits with a sz 44 waist trouser? Thanks

Lawman · Jan 7, 2009

Guys, sorry for the slow response. My in box was full. The place is only open on weekends, I discovered, so I will check back in this weekend. Take care!

If you know your stuff well enough, and can afford it, I suggest you snap them up. Just make sure they are truly vintage and not too damaged unless really cheap.

Then sell, making enough profit to make it worth your risk and effort. If you think you do not need any profit for that, great. But if they are what you say, better snap them up.
