Albert Karoll of Richard Bennett Custom Tailors purchased D. DeBartolo Custom Tailors. He acquired the patterns as well as most of the staff. He may have photos, or people who worked for D. DeBartolo may have photos. Wouldn't hurt to call and ask, or stop in and tell them who you are.

I've scoured ebay and have googled till my eyes bled. Does anyone know of a source for vintage inspired topcoats? Wool, Herringbone etc? I found a nice Chesterfield type topcoat yesterday at of all places...JC Penny. I'd really like a black/grey herringbone as well. Been lurking here for...
