if you could find the suit of one famous previous owner, whose would it be?

[Paul Roerich]

HBK's idea, put into action.


How about Harold Lloyd's suit?

 

[herringbonekid]

Paul, is that one you found ?

definitely Harold LLoyd for me, but as i'm mining the 20s for inspiration now it would have to be one like this from about 1923:

i have a feeling he was a similar size to me too (then) so it might fit !

John Wayne! We share the same birthday, and I have always been a huge fan.

 

[Fletch]

Paul Whiteman had to lose over 100 pounds to marry Margaret Livingstone in the early '30s.
I imagine the suits he wore at the time would fit me nicely.

 

[herringbonekid]

i'll have this one of Buster Keaton's too:

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

I seem to recall that one of Harold Lloyd's suits was up for auction a few years ago.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Most any of the suits that Mr. Smith wore in Washington.

My brain is just flooding with people.

I'd have to say it'd come down to Sinatra or Dino.

 

[countryclubjoe]

Scooter, I don't recall ever seeing The Duke in a suit, but my memory is shot these days. May be in The Quite Man?

Per the question, I would like to wear any suit that Cagney wore during his day.

Best regards

Cary Grant, no doubt. Also, Valentino, Robert Mitchum, George Raft, Victor Mature, Dana Andrews, or John Payne. (A late '50s suit that Dean Martin wore would be nice, too.) Oh, and the suit that Johnny Weissmuller wore in Tarzan in New York...

 

[mimesis2nemesis]

For me it would deffinitely be this one:

or this one:

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I'd love one of Samuel Hoare's suits. Always very sharp, and looks to have been about my size:

 

[Two Types]

Raymond Huntley:

I'd never fit into one of his suits, but we can all dream .....

I think this was basically the look I was going for when I had my last suit made.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

That's some extreme peak lapel, TT! very cool

 

[YETI]

Don't Think He Actually Owned This Suit...

But it was up for auction a couple of months ago.

Suit worn by Olivier in the movie Rebecca.

But it was up for auction a couple of months ago.

on ebay ? what did it fetch ?

 

[Edward]

Any of Bogey's suits... Though Hitchcock's might be closer to my size.

 

[Widebrim]

Any of Bogey's suits... Though Hitchcock's might be closer to my size.

I would take one of Bogey's, too, but there likely wouldn't be enough pant/sleeve material to let out so that it would fit me...
