My late 1930's Double Breasted Suit.

[metropd]

The suit is a Brooks of California. It is 6x2 with a nipped waist and roped shoulders. The color is navy with a
mid-grey chalkstripe and is paired with my mid-grey Gus Miller fedora.

Those lapels are beautiful! And the high button stance! And the shoulders!
Great find!
Might I suggest you pair it with a shirt that has a more contrasting stripe, either in thickness or width in between the stripes?

 

[metropd]

Its hard to tell in the picture but in real life the shirt stripe is much wider than the suit's chalkstripe.

KILLER suit

Can't see much except the last pic. Rest are too dark/blurry to make out details.

Hey Metro,

That is a great looking suit. Some clear photos would be great. I'd love to see the detail a little better.

Please allow me...

Dude, that's a terrific suit. I agree that it cries out for a white shirt and possibly a flashier tie depending on the occasion. I also like the lid on this one.

Sharp!

Great-looking suit, Metropd! May I ask is it a worsted or flannel? Just curious.

It is worsted wool. I will post some clearer pictures of the suit soon.

If you don't mind me asking ... where did you find it? How much? and what size are we looking at?

I never seem to come across a double-breasted jacket that hangs well on me. I think I'm too "barrel-chested". You darn skinny boys always have the best luck with fashion.

Wear It Again Sams in Hillcrest area of San Diego. For $350
The Size is a 36

 

[LocktownDog]

Great price. But a 36? Damn. I haven't fit into a 36 in 20+ years. I'll probably have to shell out some pretty big bucks and have myself fitted and tailored. I doubt I'll ever find anything right off the rack that would fit right.

Agreed.....here is a down and dirty photoshop job done to help reveal the details of the suit. I hope this is helpful to the OP.

Great look!:

The artful "dodger" I see.

Nice threads

Real nice threads!

METROPD suit

NICE job, would tend to stick with the dark tie as is. For a chage of pace a 1940's rayon swing cravat would jazz it up!

Nice suit.

 

[Nigel Fisher]

Great suit. I think a diagonal-stripe shirt would do well with it.

 

[metropd]

I gained a quite a few pounds so I would fill out the suit.

 

[Shaul-Ike Cohen]

Really a nice suit (and it suits you, too), as far as I can guess from my bad monitor.
