Don't Think He Actually Owned This Suit...
But it was up for auction a couple of months ago.
Suit worn by Olivier in the movie Rebecca.

^^ You may be correct. But seeing those 2 items sell for so much reminded me of when I first got into vintage in the early 90s. I was told that anything in a "thunderbird" or "argyle" pattern from the 50s sold at a premium. This was around '94 '95.
or just a collector's market...[huh]
2 Holy Grail items back when "hipsters" were into rockabilly and swing

:eusa_clap You pretty much hit in on the nail here. The Japanese market dictates all these crazy prices on vintage and the replicas inspired by American pop culture. Now we have denim junkies stateside using antique looms making jeans with selvedge seams and peddling them at $400 a pop...
^^Barbers in the City charge way too much. I can still get an excellent cut in Vallejo for $10. He was the only barber in my town who refused to raise his prices. He also has stacks of girlie mags on the coffee table. :)
In the early 90s, there was a company in Japan that did in fact produce vintage inspired "Bold Look" era neck-wear. My best friend owned a couple forking over $90 for each. And this was over 20 years ago. Also, there were the St. Pierre ties from the 70s and 80s which had a more novelty print...
I owned one exactly like it but in a 7 3/8 and no box.

I remember when I was still a "lurker" 4-5 years ago and he was always dressed to the 9s.
There were also 2 cats from NY sporting that 30s look. Scrawny fellas but lookin' reet.
