Hi:

Can you please help me with dating suit's. What things do I need to look for.
Buttons, zippers, button fly, pockets, labels, fabric, seaming? Are there things that make a piece exceptional or noticeable. Thanks!

Choe, it would take thousands of words to answer your question.

The easiest way to find the age of your suits: show us sharp, well-lighted photos of the jackets and trousers, including the front of the jacket, the jacket's lining, any labels on the lining, the front of the trousers, and the zipper (or button fly) of the trousers.

With these images, we should be able to figure out the approximate dates of your suits.
