Haha, I do agree that it looks a little freakish myself..

I did a little search in the Canadian publications trying to find early examples of the late teens / early twenties jazzy youth's styles and found these two interesting ones:

And from 1915, this fancy one:

I saw a very similar American made tuxedo jacket today, with the same very deep 'V' and one button closure. Pity the rest of the suit wasn't with it.

My latest purchase, 1914 dated suit. Sellers picture as I haven't received it yet.

It's in quite poor condition, especially the trousers, but I think that I can get it into wearable condition.

I was so close to buying that, but it was in such rough shape that I don't think anyone in my local area could mend it. Please let me know how it turns out.

Thank you for not making the price go up. :D I'll try to remember to post updates once I've tried to repair it.

It sold 3 times before you got it. Someone was messing with the auction and never paying.
I would have picked it up as a study piece but I acquired another couple pieces
