New Suit, well new to me

Hi all,

New member here and have to say that that this is a great site!! I've always loved the look of the golden era and recently made a commitment to step up my wardrobe a bit to a more classic style and get away from the jean look.

Anyway, regarding pics of suits, I found this DB suit at a thrift store for $12! The trift store has become my new hang out on Saturday mornings, I found a nice blazer there this past Saturday! The color of the suit in the picture is a little deceiving, it's actually a warm grey as opposed to the cool grey that it looks like.

Regards,
Steve

I was out making sales calls today in this window pane/glen plaid suit and my porkpie. I get a lot of compliments on this suit.

SteveS, let's see you in it.

Hat Head, looking great. I think I'll get me a porkpie. The fedora is getting passé.

Passe!? :eusa_doh:

I knew I'd get a rise out of that one.

Well, probably for the opposite reason you might think. I meant passe as in like it hasn't been for the past 40-50 years. You came to that conclusion a little late. I just hope it stays that way. What is the point of wearing a fedora or pork pie if everyone else does?

Because it's the right thing to do.

Shade. To keep one's head warm. Hair control. Disguise. To hold business cards and receipts. A repository for cash. So you have something to compare with your friends. Photo Op. The answers are myriad.

I meant, I don't want to be like everyone else. If everyone was wearing fedoras etc again, I would have to have more custom made so it would be obviously different. It would cost me more money to use a hat for all of those things you mentioned. :eusa_doh:

 

[Dr Doran]

hee hee, I knew I'd draw you out somehow.

First time to hear talk of this ilk from anyone with more than 10 posts. :eusa_doh:

Sorry if I insulted anyone's religion.

Of course, that's what most perps say when they get caught.

Just kidding..

True at that but everyone knew I am a hat elitist anyway.

 

[benstephens]

Thank you, I'm very contented with the suit.
Has anyone got an idea on the age of it? 30's or 40's?

It is hard to say. Could be 1946 onwards, but perhaps late 1930s. It is very hard to tell from pictures.

It is a really lovely suit, as I keep saying!

Kindest Regards

Ben

SteveS, let's see you in it. QUOTE]

Ties a bit crooked in this one, but it's the only pic I have of me in it so far.

 

[Jerekson]

I like it, Steve. I'm not usually such a fan of the 1-button DB, but that one looks really good on you!

I love the tie as well, I need one like that.

The Kaufmann's suit I showed earlier. Expect more pics when I wear it again on Sunday.

Cold and wet today, time to break out the tweed.

Thunder and SteveS: looking good.
