I can understand people wanting a certain look or cut when searching for old suits, but for me, if it's from the '30s and fits me properly I'd wear it, conservative or sporty cut/style. You really can't go wrong with that decade.
A stunning example!

No belt, but it does include pleated patch pockets and it gets the proportions right.

Simply stunning Miss Slapstick! (Love the name!) You look like you stepped right out of a MGM musical! I always look forward to the colder months for the same reason, an excuse to wear heavy wool overcoats! Welcome to the lounge!
Last week.
1960's Norfolk jacket, '50s does '30s Stetson cap, '30s tie, '80s does '40s herringbone slacks
Following day, went all out with the tweed. 1959 dated casual tweed jacket, '50s knit tie, '50s sweater, '50s tweed Empire cap, '40s tweed slacks.
Smaller sizes as usual but very interesting patterns.
