    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    i assume so. there's no mention of collars on this page of work shirts from Kays, 1930:

    1927 Summer Suit 42R - 44R

    the trousers are an early 20s width (8") ... not what you'd expect for 1927.

    vintage caps

    Can someone identify this suit?

    since the suit wasn't MTM for you, the fact that it fits perfectly is pure luck.

    Baby Blue Burton Belt Back Suit

    Darcy Clothing Cricket Trousers

    9" across the ankle / hem is considered narrow for most people who wear 1930s trousers in the usual 10.5" - 11" width.
