Inspiration.
' Jazz Norfolk ' ? i didn't even realise i'd invented a new style. ;) Barmey, maybe you should make a suit that isn't something you want to wear yourself, as it will be torture not to be able to wear it with it being too big a size. i especially wouldn't use rare vintage cloth on something...- herringbonekid

Harris Tweed overcoat 48 inch chest.
there's something very late 40s CC41-ish (a bit hammer and tongs / utilitarian) about the way the 38R label looks and has been stitched in. if i had to bet i'd go for that date.- herringbonekid

Harris Tweed overcoat 48 inch chest.
very tricky to date as that style of un-waisted coat would have been available from the mid 20s to the mid 50s without virtually any change. the Harris Tweed label could also be anywhere within that timeline.- herringbonekid

... actually, the fact that Marc thought it might be by Oviatt's probably explains the price he paid for it. :p- herringbonekid

no no no... it' s not Oviatt's. the suit is a British made bespoke suit. Oviatt's was just Marc's guess at what it might be before it arrived.- herringbonekid

mind you, if you can't find vintage British rimmed buttons of the same type i'd be tempted not to bother.- herringbonekid

Fatsuni, no harm in adding those extra buttons as long as they match the others. ;)- herringbonekid

it will certainly narrow down the bidders, but the ones who want it will really want it. Marc C paid £780 for a windowpane plus four suit a couple of years ago.- herringbonekid

i'm not making any predictions, but that is an amazing fabric and the suit should appeal to anyone looking for a bold 'tweed run' suit.- herringbonekid
