Am partial to two-button, three piece suits, but can't seek to find my preferred styles nowadays. Apparently, neither single-breasted peaked lapels nor double-breasted lapelled vests are currently "in."

BTW, does anybody out there still wear spats?

I am looking for a 40s suit, I'm just not too sure how to even search. I'm what is considered a "big boy" when it comes to 40s suits. I just can't find anything in a 46 or so. There had to be some fat dudes back then I'm sure!

I amazingly found an actual WWII USN Khaki Service Uniform in exactly my size and in 99% perfect condition (avatar). So I figure there has to be a civilian suit out there.

Any suggestions on what search word to use on e-bay?

Thanks!

46 regular is not a big suit, i worn that size by 14 yo.

I wear a 52 regular suit and an 11 wide shoe with a 7-1/8th hat.

 

[Fletch]

42-43 regular jacket (can take a long if the jacket is short).
17-35 shirt.
37 waist, 30-31 inseam trou.
10 1/2-11 D shoe.
7 5/8 regular or long oval hat.
9 1/2 glove ('fess up fellas...how many know your glove size?)

Biggest thing I'm jonesin' for is a mid-weight, single breasted 3pc suit, from the 30s or slightly later, in any color but brown.

That'd be a size 9 glove Fletch, Uncle Suger told me so.

Of course, I have short fingers (and you know what that means ladies... wait, forget I said that) so if they fit in the palm they often are too long in the fingers, especially the trigger finger, which is annoying.

"Uncle Suger"? Does he have anything to do with the earmuff controversy?
Anyway, I'm just going on the labels inside the gloves that fit me best. Maybe half sizes are some Italian conceit...

I'm sorry, I meant I'm a size 9, not you. I was trying to answer the "who else knows their glove size" question. I learned that because they (Uncle Sam/Suger) issued me gloves in Boot.

I have been inspired to stat hitting the thrifts again, and will be keeping an eye on the vintage shops as well. Is there anyone who might want to put this into an easily readable document. I guess it would be a bit of work. But I would be glad to spot stuff in the vintage shops and if I find something really great, contact a few people who might be interested. I would be glad to buy and ship or forward pics and contact info.

I guess I could make my own doc from the five pages, but don't know when I would get around to it.

By the way, is there any normal sized peoplle on this board, or just the very small and the very large? I am almost hte former but as a 38 i can just fit a lot of stuff.
