A few Fabulous Men's Items - Chalkstripe Suits/Tuxes

[pdxvintagette]

I spent the entire day working on my men's department, and there's some specific pieces that I would really like to see go to Loungers. You'll probably recognize Anon modeling.

Pre-War Parisian! It's a 30's single-breasted tuxedo that came from a tailor on the Champs Elysees. In fabulous condition, I think it is really special! It's about a 42 or 43 R. Click here

This is one I bought specifically with lounge gents in mind. It is a custom 3 piece with 30s/40s style made in 1988. Navy Chalk stripe and a double breasted waistcoat. About a generous 46. Click here

A 1945 WWII Staff Sergeant Uniform - patches show it is the 96th Division, served in the South Pacific. Marked a 34R, but more like a 37. Here

AND this is my very favorite casual piece. Anon looks smashing in it! Here

There's a couple other special pieces that I still need to list - an NRA tux and a dated 1910 tailcoat tuxedo - but I really did want to share these with the gents here. I'm proud of my current menswear collection. Thanks for taking a peek!

What size is the 1910 tail coat tux?

Edward, sadly, as would be expected, the 1910 piece is smaller, about a size 37. I will try to get it listed later today.

Well that stinks, I am looking for a tux in 42L with a 36x34 trouser. One could only hope.

Love that green sweater, but here in Michigan, I'm worried it will mistakenly give people the idea I'm a State fan. (Not against them, but I just don't want to look like a walking billboard for a college sports team.)

Hmmm?

Is the 3 pc suit still available??

Would fit me if it has generous sleves, keep me posted

Rats, yes, everything is still available - just click the highlighted link above the photo to see the listing! (I sell on Etsy, and the link will take you directly to that item, you don't have to search the whole men's dept for it.)

Jeff, I've just gotten the tailcoat listed. Here it is for everyone to see! May work for a 38, as shown on Anon.

Dated 1-28-10. From Hamilton Bros., who, it turns out, is still in the bespoke business today, 100 years later. Purchase here
