Wow, I started this thread 6 years ago and here we are.
My philosophy has changed a lot in the last 6 years.
I used to be more of an opportunist, but now I am very much a pragmatist, with the occasional fleeting, yet purposeful, indulgent purchase.
I used to buy up anything vintage I saw...

9. 1930s-1940s altered suit jacket. Peak-to-notch alteration? Feels like a 35-36 size. '39 tag. Very cool fabric. Awesome pre-war tight cut on this one and roped shoulders (can't tell from picture) Price $20 + shipping
10. 1940s blue/grey sport jacket. Good condition outside...
I have a bunch of other vintage gear I am sorting through. I'm just going to post up some quick pictures and if you are interested just let me know. Most everything is right around the 38-39 size, with just a couple around the 36 size.
5. US Naval Pea Coat, official issue, 1968 date, size...

Hello all!
I am needing to downsize and I wanted to keep all the items that fit me well enough without tailoring and sell the rest to someone who would appreciate them. For any combo, take 20% off the total. All sizing in inches. OAL (overall length does include the collar)
I have many other...
Hmm, well next May does give some time. I would keep an eye out for a vintage piece if the sizes these suits are most found in works for him. I just shipped a suit to the UK (I'm in Colorado) and it can be done easily. Have a tailor touch it up a bit if needed. Just found this...

Good color rendition of the suit here:

Gentleman,
Another spectacular suit. I know that the fuller cut suits from the 1950 and 1960s don't get the same love as their earlier brethren, but this suit is special. Made by Traditionals and originally sold at Cotrells in Denver, CO, this is one of the finest 1950's suits I've ever seen...
Gentleman,
Wow, what a find. We have here a lovely businessman's suit straight from 1952, made by Mansfield for Cotrell's in Denver, CO. It is a local suit and most likely has stayed in Colorado most of its life. It is a light, muted blue/grey pinstripe in a medium weight worsted wool with...
Thanks for keeping this thread going. I thought it died as well, but if enough folks sign onto the idea, then it is still possible!
As for me, I have a TON of stuff I could put up...mainly in the 40-42 size, suits and suit jackets/sport coats from the 1940s-1950s. Some of falls outside of the...
Did you pick up the NRA tux? Surely it would have fit someone here! We have a trading thread and a nice vintage score like that might have you tradin' with someone else who has something in your size:)
Yep, I have that tux. Do you have any items to trade? I'd love to see anything you have to offer. Feel free to post them up in that link that Two Types linked.
Thanks!
