Can you not present this with some punctuation - IE paragraphs - it is unreadable.

I started to read it, saw how long it was, and gave up.

I suggest it is a good idea to have more paragraphs for text displayed on a computer screen than might be appropriate in other writing.

Cheers, Jim.

Good Day All.
A bit chilly here today so plumped for a 3 piece. Its a bespoke 1962 Windowpane check Mid brown. One of my favourites actually and seems to fit very well. only minor quibble is that it has a zip fly (which i cannot abide!!)
The trousers have a raised rear straps for my Braces and turn ups.
the rest of the outfit is as follows
Lewin Blue and yellow stripe shirt
Hilditch and key Striped tie
Generic Green birdseye socks with green Albert Thurston sock suspenders
Albert Thurston yellow boxcloth Braces (vintage)
brooks tie back Boxers
Corn eton armbands
Gold Pocket Sq

Kaufmann's was a fantastic department store. I'm only old enough to remember its last days, but I loved going to the downtown Pittsburgh store at Christmastime to see all the decorations.

Another great store of yesteryear gobbled up by Macy's Walmartization of the department store world.

Thanks guys. This has quickly become my favorite suit. The cut is so...'40s.

The arms have come down nicely, it seems. Great.

They did, still a tad short but nothing I'm too worried about. I also lengthened the left trouser leg a tad (it was about 1/2" shorter than the right!) and now it's fine too.

I just love the cut of those trousers (btw.... are you standing on a table for that shot?). Nice and full.

They are quite beautiful. Just a tiny bit of taper on the legs add to the 1940s look. They drape so well.

As for the picture, I'm standing on our upstairs wooden floor. Yes, it's blue. :p
A curved staircase is just behind me in the pic.

I assume you're talking to me Jerekson. If not I'm sorry for being presumptuous. Anyway, it is made by Albert Nipon and I got it at my local K & G for $150.00.
