That seller has sold several nice smaller size belted back coats. Wonder where they find them.

30s lapels don't get much wider than that !

Man, to have a whole suit with pants would have been fantastic.

Good lord. they certainly didn't. I don't think I would even wear that jacket …

Gives one a good appreciation of what the 70s were copying!

Dumbo lapels...

Nice find. I'd wear that. Too bad there's no trousers.

Thankfully my build is ashamedly slight - so perhaps the unusually large lapels will do the job of good tailoring and even things out!

Should look nice with white flannel trousers.

items arrived today, and they are incredible. Jacket tag says made to measure (which explains the lapels) and she is virtually like new. Also fits me perfectly. dhermann, thanks for your suggestion, but I am afraid that white flannels are currently lacking in my wardrobe, but I do have a pair of gray flannels which will also pick up on the subtle gray stripe in the jacket! Pics as soon as the jacket and vest return from my dry cleaner on wednesday.
