You should see my hair when it gets really bushy!

Matt and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Suit

Oh geez....thats a bit too much really.

Definatly prefer the unadulterated Matt vs the psychadelic one.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Ah ... you prefer MTV's "Matt Unplugged".

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

Is that a tie or a microphone now?

 

[Matt Deckard]

I prefer MTV in the 80's... back when it was Music Television.

anywho... I'll get some full length shots later so you can see the trousers.

 

[Wild Root]

Oh for laughing out loud! Hahahaha! Good stuff guys!

If you want to know how cool Matt's suit is in full view, just let me tell you soon as he walked in the door my jaw dropped! It's a really super suit and it fits him really well and looks perfect on him.

I'm really happy for you buddy!

I will get some better pics of this beauty soon. 'Tis a lightweight tweed with various small windowpane patterns - can be seen best in the pocket closeup below. These pics are as good as i've got right now ... No good close up of the back, i'm afraid. Root has posted a better pic previously. It's quite stained. My local cleaners couldn't do anything with it. I hope to have it cleaned more deeply in the future:

And my attempt to reenact my favourite pic of Louis Armstrong ... Had to change my socks and shoes ...

it's a great suit Baron, i love the jacket.

(i'm not saying the trousers look silly, they're a great piece of clothing history...but there is NO WAY you will ever see me in a pair of plus-fours).

There is always the golf course!

Baron, I think you pull off that look extraordinarily well. Well done. :eusa_clap

 

[herringbonekid]

and lay off the sauce Baron...

there's a good chap.

Yes it is going a little like that Phoenix Nights bouncer. Remember that episode?? With summer coming along (no spring in Indiana this year) i'm seriously considering a re-evaluation of the Camus idea ...

i'm afraid i'm one of those weirdos (like yourself) who has no TV, so i'm not familiar with the show, but i look forward to seeing the 'camus'.

The glasses..... (Shutter)lol Yeah, you need some 1930's styled frames to wear with all your 30's stuff.

BK, that's a great suit! I like the reenactment of the Armstrong pose! Say, where in the world did you find socks like that? I'd like to get some so I could wear my knickers more oft. I do have two pairs of original 1927's from Alexander and Oviatt but, don't want to wear them to many times.

You wear that knicker suit rather well and yes, I know I've played this record one too many times but, in all honesty and sincerity, a shorter hair style would just accelerate the look... I know its change and it's not easy to change but, I’m sure you’d be amazed what a difference it would make.

Ok, I'm done... all that aside, it's a spectacular find and I know of a place over here that could clean it for you... French's in Pasadena! You could send it to me and I could take it over there and have them work their magic! Just let me know.

Those are my favourite glasses ever. 50s Shuron. Can't beat 'em. Though i am considering a wire-framed pair for just the reason you mention.

Those socks (you mean the argyle ones, right?) came from a discount clothing store in San Francisco. And ... shock horror ... they are in fact ladies knee-highs - though in quite thick cotton. Works for me. Noone would know the difference. The brown socks are deadstock that came along with the suit ...

Funnily enough i was considering proposing just such a deal ... watch your PM box.
