    1920s suits

    1920s suits

    Mr speakeasy, i thought you had said it was dated 1920 ? if not, it still looks early 20s.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    ok, not silk, but probably a Palm Beach type blend e.g cotton / mohair / rayon. p.s. i have a similar jacket, also with a 'sheeny' cloth. it appears to be a Palm Beach competitor called...

    Modern Day Style Icons

    here's another of Hooman: his blog says he owns a couple of suits by the late Michele Savoia (in an "exaggerated 1930s or 40s style") so he obviously has more than a passing interest in vintage too.

    Paddy, do you mean Ray Chu ? if so, it's definitely not him. apparently the guy above is named Joseph Au.

    The Thread to Display Your 1930s Suits

    Patrick, are you sure that's not silk or a wool/linen blend ? it doesn't look stiff and creasy enough for cotton.

    Metatron, thanks for contributing to the thread. this is Ethan who works at http://thearmoury.tumblr.com/ he makes modern high end clothing look very timeless. i suspect there's quite a bit of 'vintage-inspiration' involved:

    1920s suits

    here's a scan from Sears spring-summer 1923. the jazz suit is still being touted as 'brand new', probably to net any late-comers. (i should add that it's the only jacket of that cut in the catalogue): there's also a version in a 1926 catalogue, albeit with wide trousers (see page 2 of this...
