Great suit. American, 1940s?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Thanks! Not vintage at all! One I had made a couple of years ago. Gratifying that it hits the mark though!

Eddie: you are a masochist - now really isn't the time for tweed!

Patrick: one word - stunning!

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Hah it was before the really warm weather. Point taken, though.

Looks like a blast, Edward!

Eddie, sharp as a knife! I love tweed. Seeing that suit makes me wish I lived in a better climate for it.

I'll try Eddie, we normally drive down through France and stop off on the way picking up stuff as we go but sadly flying this time so limited to what I can bringback...doh!
Anyway here's a (not very good) couple of pictures from Sunday when we stood at a local vintage/retro fair;

before we left and checking the watch for timings!

"keeping a watch out for bombers going over to Sheffield"

at the event it was warm enough to undo the waistcoat, but obviously not remove the cravat or cap!

Shirt modern M&S 'grandad' shirt altered to take a seperate collar, trousers 1949 dated British wool trousers from a suit I have, waistcoat 1930's owned by my late great, great grandfather, cap is a CC41 item, pocket watch and chain c 1925

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

You look great! Nice waistcoat. Is that the place where the fair is held underground in an old dance hall? With pillars lining the place?

Looks like you've got some interesting stuff!
