If you paid attention to the forum at all, you'd know that I own many suits from 1900's-1950's (mainly 30's and 40's). You'd also know that I absolutely love wearing them.
To say that tailors now aren't as skilled as they used to be is a bit inane. You can make the claim that there aren't...
If you believe that, you are the fool...Very well made garments...You buy them, you choose how they fit. They do not choose for you.
As to the disparaging comments towards modern suits...you're simply close-mindedly picking out poor examples. There are fantastic suits with fantastic cuts...

does anybody have an idea as to the fate of the men's costumes??? I want to get my hands on them!
There was a fantastic windowpane, creamish suit with a beautiful belted back suit in there...I WANT.
Linen Beltback sold, pending payment
It seems I mis-estimated the size of the above suit...It's more like a size 40... I'm more concerned with this suit going to a good home than the price... Anyone interested just send me a pm with an offer...I'll either accept or counter offer...
