I've picked up two British suits recently both locally made in Sheffield both in 1970, now I know they are not golden era but they are interesting non the less and can show what to look out for;
first is a Barney Goodman, his suits were known for their strong shoulders, this on is in a beautiful striped worsted cloth...sadly trousers are too small at a roughly 34" waist though the jacket is a perfect 42",
lapels are narrow and not in the usual 70's style, trousers are straight with no hint of a flare, twin rear vents and heavily sloping pockets are obvious, build quality is A1 obviously built as a work suit as all pocket edges are heavily reinforced.
I'll post the other tomorrow if time allows.
