Chicago Suits Catalog Matt, I assume, then, that you have taken it to a tailor and have had them make one for you? If you have, that's awsome. How much would one of those suits cost now days? Gabe
I used to do exactly that. I had all my suits made here: Bhambi's Custom Tailors 14 E. 60th ST. New York, NY 10022 Phone: (212) 935-5379 about ten years ago. You go in. You pick out the fabric. Yes I want cuffs. Working button holes. Suspender buttons, not belt loops. A high rise. Broad shoulders. Nipped in at the waist. You want a vest? Sure! How bout a single breasted suit with peaked lapels? You know it! Too bad I don't fit into them anymore! Back to the gym for me!
Good stuff for sure! That's what I would do if I had the cash. I would have belt loops though. I like to have a choice wither I have braces or a belt. Never want the same thing every day. I like bets and braces. Belts were worn a lot in the 30's and 40's. Root.
Wiseguy... ...you should sell me the suits you can't wear anymore! And that catalog...it's sort of painful how great suits looked back then.
I think they looked better then the real thing did even then! Paintings have a way of selling the product better I think. But, vintage still looks swell and much better then what is made today! Root.
