Paddy needs a little adjustment in the back seat of the strides.IMHO

 

[PA Dancer]

Looks Great!

A grand suit and a very fine score my friend!!! Enjoy it.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I'm tired at the moment... super duper!

I have more to talk about... lots of details... ,,,

 

[Empyrium]

very good:eusa_clap

Does it have neither back pocket(s) or cash/watch pocket in the trousers?

How many inside pockets in the jacket.

I am looking to detail a repro for ordering in the autumn so comment on the details of a guenuine British 1940s suit would be welcome. I plan to get it as close to original rather than add current pocket detail to an otherwise authentic outlne.

 

[Feraud]

A great suit and a perfect fit Paddy.
It looks good w/the fuzzy Barbisio.

 

[AlanC]

Very, very nice.

I agree with cookie that it's a bit tight at the posterior. The coat is tight across the small of the back, too.

I really like the trouser length and cuffs.

Details.

Jacket: Inside right pocket.
Pants: Back right pocket.
Ticket pocket: on the inside of the right hand main pocket.

I hope that serves to help you in your quest. Baron Kurtz would no doubt be delighted to assist as well, if you ask him nicely. Kindest Regards.

VERY nice suit!

 

[The Wingnut]

Stunning, Paddy! Great choice of hat to go with it. The suit looks as if it was made for you.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Lovely. Told you it'd be a winner . . . if possible, could there be close-ups of the suspender/fly buttons? Also, some detail of the Burtons tag with all the sizes on it. There should be at least one in each piece. The trousers one is often the easiest to photograph - inside the right hip pocket - but they're often very worn so there should be one inside the inside breast pocket of the jacket or one of the waistcoat pockets.

On to the hat. What crease have you produced? It looks great! Much better than my shabby C-Crown.

[Baron Kurtz]

Looks like a bit of bunching at the back of the trousers waistband. Maybe lower them a bit; looks like you've got a good 2-3" floor clearance.

[PADDY]

Thankyou.

Thanks for the feedback and constructive comments.

 

[Sefton]

That's really outstanding. One of the nicest suits I've seen in long while. Congratulations.

 

[Smithy]

Damn! I was hoping it wouldn't fit you Paddy so I could buy it off of you!

Corker of a suit

 

[imoldfashioned]

What a gorgeous suit Paddy and you wear it so well! I'm glad it lived up to your expectations.

 

[Mr. Rover]

*DRROOOOOLLLL** What an outstanding find! That is such an outrageous suit- completely classic, but would definitely stand out in a crowd. The DB navy pinstripe one of those elusive 30s/40s quintessential wardrobe keystones that I have yet to obtain.

 

[Benny Holiday]

Outstanding Paddy! The high waisted pants with the waistcoat just make that 1940's look. Glad it's yours, mate. You wear it with panache.

 

[Dagwood]

I have 3 words for you: Brill-i-ant!!
