1949 Bold Look Suit. Very Tall size 36-38

[Baron Kurtz]

Gents,

Here's a beautiful suit. Dated 1949, 2 piece grey multi-colour pinstripe double breasted. It's in really nice shape. It's quite a strange size. Mario has first refusal on this one. PERFECT for the tall slim chap. A Very rare size.

Jacket

Chest: 20.75"
Arm: 26.5"
Shoulders: 19"
Length: 33.5"


Trousers

Waist: 29" + 3" to come out (told you it was a weird size)
Inseam: 32.5" + just about an inch to come down.
Outseam: 45.5"
Cuffs: 1.75" x 9.75"

I think it will be quite easy to get 34" out of these legs, certainly 34" and perhaps a bit more possible if the cuff depth is reduced a little bit, and with a false cuff.

Please PM with interest and we'll talk about how to get payment to me. £150 gets the suit.

It is a shame I don't have the money for this, although, I probably couldn't let out the trousers to be long enough anyway. Having a trouser size of 32-36 makes life rather difficult.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Sacrificing the cuffs would allow for a 36 inseam. We could always organise a layaway plan.

That does make it very tempting, but tuition I really shouldn't be spending money, even on a gorgeous suit like this.

Do you have any pre-1950 suits you'd be looking to get rid of or trade?

still available

OK, I thought I was tall but the sleeves are far too long, the jacket length is quite a bit too long and the trousers a little bit too long. And I really can't afford it (considering what the alteration cost is likely to be) at the moment as I've already overspent my suit budget for this year.

Out of nosiness, is this a British or an American suit? And could you give any details about the trousers?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

American. Let me dig it out and get some pics of the trousers.

It is indeed a very very long line suit.

I thought it would be American simply because the Brits never really got into the Bold Look as much as the Yanks.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

The Cincinnati Ohio label kinda gives it away too …

:eusa_doh: "The best place to hide something is where everyone can see it." Classic case of me overlooking the obvious. I was looking for details like half lining, belt loops and a zip fly which to my knowledge were mostly found on American suits until the early 60s.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

This is still available. I'm movable somewhat on pricing.

Still available!

That does make it very tempting

Two years now. It's cheaper than a new suit of lesser quality, you know?

 

[Rudie]

I don't think I could make it work for me or I would have grabbed it years ago. Whoever has the matching measurements, buy this suit.

40 chest and 29" trousers?

wierd wierd

 

[Baron Kurtz]

And a 32" inseam, and 26.5" arms!

yep, very tall very slim.

Dagnabbit. This suit is still available, and I still want it, but I still don't have the money. I haven't bought a suit since this has been up, and I would really like to have another, but I don't wear them enough to justify it. Ugh.
