    Ventile

    I have an actual 36" chest circumference with 29" waist and standing at 5'7". My build is slim but a bit stocky. Throughout "trials and errors" over the years I found 19.5" armpits would best accommodates me as the chest will fit closer yet not too tight nor loose (I like to wear my clothes...

    What to look for in bespoke vs off-the-rack suits?

    A-2 Horsehide, bespoke Japanese suit, Pendleton wool shirt

    now on eBay Hi, I'm a 36S (being a 166cm) and the suit has a loose fit on me but the length is too long. I don't mind with the loose fit as I can bring it to a tailor and tape it down to fit me however with the length, it is harder. In my view, the suit is good for someone who normally...

    Montague Burton Catalogue 1934 - 1936

    Great post! I had a vintage Burton suit (from the 50-60's I believe) in the past and was very happy with the quality, especially on the vintage fabric and looks of it.
