Show us your suits

Apart from the very small photographs which do very little to help your posts - this looks quite new - certainly thirty years north of your aspiration for it Sorry.

Very nice, Sefton. I also would wear a different colored cap.

Will the break in the trousers be lessened if you pull them up more?

I have a belted back jacket of what looks like the exact same material ... a bit short for me, though (I'm a 42 L and it's about a 42).

I have a Brooks Brothers linen belted back bi-swing suit at the tailor's being altered.
I hope to wear it next weekend at dinner with Mk and the other loungers. Will eventually post pics.

Annoying isn't it?
If you hit reply and scroll down you can see the text and pics. Not idea but it is a start..

 

[Feraud]

..I meant to type ideal not idea. :eusa_doh:

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Thanks

Yesterday I played jazz at a roof garden party in NYC in this micro-houndstooth suit...

Fletch, outstanding!

I got those at a antique store. They are supposed to date from the early 1900's. The stamp on the clasps indicate 18K gold. I assume they were worn for weddings or other special occasions, and were probably a rather expenisive gift.

Okay, here's my new suit!

Oxxford suit, Charvet tie (both from Ebay), Ike Behar shirt (Syms), hat by Art Fawcett, shoes by Johnston & Murphy (Sierra Trading Post). Sheesh, one day I'll learn to at least post thumbnails properly.

nice suit. Pity about the loss of a cuff button, eh?

Wot? I just thought it will be difficult for him to find a matching button is all.

Yes, please let me know if you stumble across one. I find it helpful during operations. lol

 

[Feraud]

Nice suit KObalto. I like the pattern.

New three piece suit off the Bay. The pictures made it look like a dark tan/slightly green suit, it's actually a darker brown, but I'm happy with it all the same

Brown wool with a blue pinstripe in a medium weight, good quality cloth. Slanted pockets, three interior pockets, one vent on the jacket. Trousers have button adjusters, long zip fly, brace buttons, no beltloops, one rear pocket, and 1 3/4" cuffs. Waistcoat has 6 buttons and four deep pockets.

I put it on to test the fit and take the pictures when I got home yesterday, it's so comfortable I wore it the rest of the day!

The braces I picked up from an antique store after picking up the suit, and after wearing them for about an hour the sitiching on the rear center leather came undone, so I got out needles and thread and fixed them. I may have to redo the rest of the stitching as well, but it's not difficult.

Cheers,
Nick
