Can anyone tell me where, it is possible to obtain a suit, like the one in the upper left corner in this picture. Also what the pricing might be. Thanks.
If you want an exact reproduction, then...well...you have to have it reproduced for you; you wont find a suit like Bogart's off the rack anytime soon. Use the search function to uncover your options (Avalos, Magnoli, and etc)
I stopped by The Suit Outlet in Oxnard, CA last week and they had a standing cardboard display of their "Bogie Collection". The manager said that they were discontinuing the line due to the weights of the cloth being too heavy for the general public. ( he was NOT in favor dropping the line- corporate decision). I told him of this forum and he said they will do custom work or recreations from photo stills. He's been in the business for over twenty years and really knows suit cuts, fabrics, vintage aspects, etc.
They also supply the movie studios :
"Studios will request certain kinds of suits, and Marin (the founder) will send them several to choose from.
"One of our unique niches is with the studios," Marin said. "Whatever they'll use on the sets is kept, and whatever is not used will come back brand-new."
