    1920's 3 Piece in Brown Tweed

    This certainly is beautiful. If only 4 inches weren't too much to take in on the waist. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1920s-3-piece-English-sack-suit-38-Regular-/300956060326?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item4612610aa6

    Thanks for grabbing that measurement Baron - I was going to bust out my tape measure when I got home. Can't wait for sub 100F weather to wear it in!

    Putting it all together

    Great guess - yes, the jacket is a linen/silk blend. I love it so much I bought two - one in this color and one in a darker gray.

    Yes - it lacks any kind of labels or maker's mark at all, which makes me wonder whether it is bespoke as well. It is by far the nicest 30's suit I own. I've been wearing my trousers skinnier like the rest of the universe lately, but the drape on these bags is amazing. Thanks again for finding...

    A little more subtle than my last contribution.

    Bought this amazing suit from Baron Kurtz - the flannel fabric is amazing, and after having the hem dropped an inch, the waist let out just a bit and a small hole fixed on the pocket, the fit is perfect. Bagged on a hanger, and waiting for fall....

    1920s suits

    If you'd rather not wait for a good vintage pair to turn up, or if your feet are too large a size for most of the vintage pairs that DO turn up (like me), I recommend Allen Edmonds' Fifth Street. It' s a balmoral dress boot with a beautiful cap toe, on a vintage-esque last. They have it in...

    Thanks gents. I credit this thread in part with helping me learn how to pattern-match. I think bold works, as long as none of the patterns are competing with each other, and there is at least ONE solid element...in this case the tie.

    What are you wearing today??

    Yes - it was a "Groundhog Day" kind of experiment - first wool suit since April. I regretted it around 2PM. Will be sticking with summer suits for at least another month. Thanks for the kind words, all!

    Allen Edmonds Fifth Streets are definitely worth your money.

    Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.

    Also Raymond Chandler's Marlowe story Goldfish (1936) includes this little bit of dialogue: "Did you ever hear of the Leander pearls?" she asked. "Gosh, that blue serge shines. You must have money in the bank, the clothes you wear." "No," I said, "to both your ideas. I never heard of the...

    Great look cpdv - it's amazing what vintage-esque ties are out there if one keeps their eyes peeled. At JosABank, no less!

    Warbaby, love those suspenders!

    Belt-back with two pleated breast pockets

    Thanks Fastuni. I'd noticed the button stance seemed low. Am i right in assuming that two breast pockets on a suit coat was uncommon for the Bold Look era? Interesting that a 40s/50s cusp suit would copy sport-suit detailing from two decades previous.

    Belt-back with two pleated breast pockets

    and in an average size to boot. Too big for me, sadly - but a beautiful cut and fabric nonetheless. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-30s-Back-Belt-Sports-2-pc-Suit-Size-42-Light-Blue-Wool-Pants-Size-35-/171087458458?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item27d59b709a

    Thanks TT - accessorizing white linen is always a challenge for me. Miss Slapstick, your dress is beautiful.

    Show off the sports coats.

    More expert voices than mine may weigh in, but I'd say relatively modern - maybe early 90's? Does it have a center vent or dual side vents? The patch pockets are an interesting feature for such a young blazer.

    New to Sport Coats

    This is the challenge of the blazer - it is ubiquitous in the worst way these days. Takes some effort and panache to make it neither drab collegiate nor drab corporate. A good starting point is to avoid pairing it with khaki trousers. Finding one with HBK's vintage accoutrements would also...
