Does anyone have interest in seeing pictures of a Savile Row knickerbocker suit (1962) made for Edmund de Rothschild?

Yes!

well i lied just a little bit. They are now a Savile Row tailor, when this was made they were just around the corner on St George Street.

He was a very large man. 48" chest. Let me get some photos together when it's not raining.

Goes without saying!


A 48" chest, eh? Is it for sale? Isn't that Jamespowers' size?

[Baron Kurtz]

I dunno. It's such a common size to find … It was Tiny Tim's size, i will add.

[edit] I now have images of Eddy de Rothschild tiptoeing through fields of a certain type of wildflower. Not pretty.

I would love to see that suit.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Probably at the beginning of next week. I should get some pics at the weekend. I have a very nice 20s German one - belted and buckle back trousers and all - to show beforehand. I'll get those pics up tomorrow.

No, 48" is his hat size.

Man, that is a wonderful suit … I really like the subtle broken stripe. Great turquoise shade … Not sure about those shoes with that suit, though [huh]

Thanks, Marc, Baron. There's still some work to be done before it's truly wearable, but I wanted to get some shots up of it.

The pants pockets are worn through, so I need to patch them. Waistband lining needs to be re-stitched. There's a two inch rip in the inside of the leg that needs to be back-patched and stitched up. It's on the inside of the leg, and it's a tear, not a hole, so it shouldn't show too much. I need to find another button for the front, one is missing, one more suspender button, and I've already stitched up the breast pocket. Someone loved this suit, it shows, so I was able to get it cheaply. I also have a hard time finding suits with a long enough inseam. I take a 34" to 36", which are few and far between, so I jumped on this one.

At some point the owner cut out the bottoms of the pants pockets and using different fabric extended them down another four inches or so, so now the pockets are extra deep. I wonder why? Extra storage?

And Baron, regarding the shoes, I agree, the color doesn't compliment the blue, but these were close at hand when I put it on for the photos.

Cool, sounds like a nice project suit.

I would take the non-closing front right button (the bottom right) and put it where the one is missing. And then make the replacement button the one at the bottom right - less visible there if, as is likely, you don't get an exact match. Tears are pretty easy to repair so that should work out fine. A rare suit, in that size …

Divided by two. You're thinking of Paul Bunyan.

No problem. It happens all the time.

A little above average for today.
Tiny Tim's size?! That figures.

Edmund lived to be quite old.

Dman, you look great in every damn thing you wear.
