Show us your suits

[Cuvier]

Good morning folks.
I just got my first made to measure suit from my tailor. Turned out to be a pretty good accidental Hercule Poirot impression. I was trying out different hats and combinations. I'd like to hear your thoughts. The Dobbs Golden Coach Homburg works well I think but I was hoping one of my Fedoras would work as well.

Flared trousers, wow! And on a tuxedo—first time seeing this for me, well done

Did you ever watch the 007 movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" ?

I have not seen it, but that style looks great. Was that the inspiration for yours?

Nop, I Just found the suit in the thrift store and it fitted me well, so I bought it.

New arrival... another 1970s suit... I shall take new photos wearing it as soon as possible.

Brazilian brand, long gone, so I coudn't find any info...

Interesting pattern with gray and red stripes

Trousers used to have flares, but the previous owner had them taken in (it's possible to see the excess fabric still inside)

 

[jimmyroytill]

I like it, casual but tight

Dating such classic garments is always a bit tricky, but based on the square shoulders and the label, I'd guess the 1950s.

Anyway, I completely agree with the previous speaker: very elegant, sir. Wonderful!

That was my approximate guess too, but I found some info about it in the national business data base, that tailor house it was officially registered in 1966. It's now defunct.

Very interesting: I wouldn't have thought that! Then the tailoring would date from the late 60s/early 70s at the earliest, and therefore, in my opinion, rather conservative – including the label. On the other hand, a conservative cut certainly suits such a conservative garment

Now these are decent whistles

Hi TFLers love suit

How would you evaluate this Brioni double-breasted suit? Is it a vintage piece or a more recent production?
