1940s Double Breasted Suit - Small, but perfectly formed.

[Two Types]

It's from the Hamburg based ebay vendor Pipoletto. Lovely suit, but a small size.

Fantastic suit, and the size is pretty much perfect for me! I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on this one, even though I already own a early '40s navy DB suit.

It sold for US$428.73. Congratulations to Papperskatt.

Sold for £255. I imagine it would have gone higher if it was a louder wool.

I hope its going to a good home, it's a lovely suit.

I got the suit. Terrific silhouette, this one - sharp jacket cut and nearly bag-wide straight trousers, 11 1/4" wide at the hem.

I really should share photos of this one (and my other vintage suits) sometime. So far, my perfectionism has kept me from posting photos - indoors doesn't seem to work at all and outdoors isn't easy around my flat. I'm getting there eventually.

 

[Two Types]

Yes, please post photos of this suit (and the rest of them). I'd be interested to know the origin of the suit (i.e. any pics of labels etc)

 

[Rabbit]

Will do. I'll have the suit in hands in a fortnight.
There is also a bunch of overcoats that I need to post eventually, mostly from the 1930s and 40s, some from the 50s.

Congratulations to Papperskatt.

Darn it, I totally forgot about this one. I think that I was at the cinema or something when the auction ended. :eusa_doh:

Please post some pictures when you get the suit, Rabbit. Congratulations, you got yourself a really nice suit for a great price there.

Rabbit, I also look forward to see some of your collection.
