    I agree with Two Types - sell it! Nothing is worse than having a stunning suit in your closet that's to small to wear. I'm not sure I can fit into this, I'm a 36-37 with loooong legs XD

    FS: Vintage 1930s black lounge suit in size 36L

    Hello, I'm selling my vintage 1930s suit. I adore it, but sadly the jacket fits a bit small in the chest and I'm selling it. http://www.ebay.it/itm/-/231705040763? Feel free to write here for every detail!

    Detachable Collar Stud Question

    I may be wrong, but with the coat on (which is mandatory in formal dress) the stud and the loop should rest under the collar, so not visible by anyone.

    How Old do You Think This Stanley Blacker Blazer is?

    If you mean the "narrow cut" coats, here are some elements that MAY appear (alone or togheter) in a such coat: - fairly small lapels; - roundish (but small) lapels; - slight boxy cut; - higher button stance; - small patterns in fabric. Shoulder construction depends from maker to maker; many...

    How Old do You Think This Stanley Blacker Blazer is?

    Labels are not always a secure way to date. It could be that some old labels were used until they finished the stock. I think, either if the jacket is 80s or 60s, that if it's nice and fits well, the dating it's not so important!

    How Old do You Think This Stanley Blacker Blazer is?

    I think button stance is too low to be a mid-60s coat; also, the coat seems fairly on the long side, which is uncommon for 60s ones. Obviously I can be wrong, it's often really difficult to date precisely a garment. Just thinking... Did 60s coats usually carry a material label? Italian examples...

    I threw my vintage suit in the washing machine

    That is remarkably interesting; I'm often disappointed by the quality of the dry-cleaning, and I think that a dry-cleaned garment doesn't look really "clean". I've ever wanted to water-wash a suit, but never went beyond dreams fearing to ruin the shape of the suit. How do you treat with shoulder...

    Collar gap and related fit issues

    Yes, I think I have a slight forward-leaning posture but I have some coats whose collars sit very well and stay glued even in extreme situations and they are cut regularly. It's not so simple to explain, in my opinion. But is there a solution?

    Collar gap and related fit issues

    I got the idea of starting this thread from the dreaded collar gap issue I've found in a couple of my suit coats. Of course it would be more interesting to talk about all of those other "difficult" fit issues like shoulder divots, collar roll that are rarely mentioned but sometimes can happen...

    1940s or 1950s. Odd Things to State As Well

    Not easy to say. But I think sure that those lapels were reshaped from their original shape to the slimmer one preferred during the course of 50s. Look at the gorge angle: it's too wide to be born in this way, just compare with lapels coming from that period.

    The Difference From A 40s DB Suit Between A 30s DB

    Dating a jacket only by style can be difficult. Loosely speaking, earlier examples have higher button stance and a closer cut in the torso; more often they are slightly shorter than usual. The true differences can be seen in cut, especially in shoulder construction; I'll better leave...
