You're most welcome. I should add that any of those options, in the hands of a competent tailor, will have your man looking his best.

Below is my darling husband on our wedding day. His waistcoat is linen. The handwritten date on the label says 1906. The jacket is black gabardine. It was custom made for a doctor in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The date is 1932. I'm on the right side of the photo, but you can only see my bouquet.

Fabulous! He looks great. Where did he come by the pieces?

Where did he come by the pieces?

He picked up the jacket, which is part of a 3 piece suit, at the Plaza Dorrego flea market in San Telmo, an artsy section of Buenos Aires. There is a vintage clothing store that faces the plaza; it gets its merchandise from the city's wealthy old families. The linen waistcoat was an eBay purchase.

Looks like it was made for him...

The interesting thing about the suit is that it seems to have been made by a shirtmaker. The stitching everywhere is very tight; Marc's tailor says it was made with a shirtmaker's sewing machine.

That can only be a good thing I assume?

Neither good nor bad, according to Marc's tailor. Just weird.
