Fastuni you can't get a more impeccable pedigree than Haas. What a beautiful, beautiful suit.

Guitarmasta That's a fine suit and a sharp look, you wear it well. Great style, compliments to you. (I envy your trim tummy.)

Thanks! I finally found the chocolate color I wanted. I need some blacks and dark greys

1948 dated American grey flannel (red and black/white stripes) SB two-piece suit,
made by Bond Clothes - Executive Group.

It is top notch, highest quality and perfect condition,
with no wear or damages. Soft, good-wearing wool flanell.

The size is a US/UK 42 Regular... alas a bit too short for me!

Offering it now in the classifieds:

Very beautiful cloth and style, Fastuni. Too bad it doesn't fit me!

Two beauties! Especially the HS&M. Also like the tie you chose.

[Dirk Wainscotting]

Cropped hem?

 

[Dinerman]

No- pretty standard cut to the cutaway and normal length.

 

[Dirk Wainscotting]

I'm less sure. Look at the height of the bottom button from the hem and pocket flaps. Could be stylistic, but it looks a little disproportionate to me.

 

[Mean Eyed Matt]

Nice one. Specially like the lapels!

Nice! I love these classical blue + chalkstripes DB suits.

Early-mid 40s (US) by Raymond's.
Hard finished worsted, blue with alternating blue and cream pinstripes; a few shades lighter than airforce blue.

mid 40s (US) by Parkway Clothes
Hard finished worsted, chocolate brown with blue ropestripes.

I really like the shoulder expression on that Parkway clothes double breasted. I think that all the details of that coat, from shoulder to lapel to skirt are really well balanced. I'm not used to seeing you in jackets that aren't bum-freezers!

 

[Rabbit]

The Parkway must be one of my best-made American suits. Very nice details.

I'm not used to seeing you in jackets that aren't bum-freezers!

Coincidence, I guess. Lots of my SB three-piece are full length and about half of the DBs, too. Maybe I just didn't post those. The sportsjackets tend to be bum freezers.

 

[JackieMatra]

Aha!
So these two weren't both expressly tailor-made for you decades before your birth.
(The trousers of the blue one would look better a half of an inch longer.)

early 40s DB by Hart Schaffner & Marx
Hard-finished worsted, marine blue (a couple of shades lighter than navy) with wide-spaced cream pinstripe. The color pops in the sunlight much more than navy does.

mid 40s 3-piece by Society Brand Clothes Sunstrum's
Hard finished worsted, marine blue with pink pinstripes.
