Today at the Jazz age lawn party. 1926 dated suit jacket, '30s tie, '30s suit pants, '50s panama hat, modern shirt and shoes. Holding my recently acquired 1939 NY Worlds Fair "Can-O-Seat", which I was inspired to buy from my recent obsession with world fairs and dhermann1, who owns a much better...
Couple of jackets I got off eBay. Seller said they were '20s-'30s era, I'm thinking late '30s at earliest. No union tags on either jacket unfortunately, so that adds to mystery of their age.
Black and brown wing tips in size 12D for a bargain price in my opinion. Not sure if they're true vintage, but they're still classic.

I've actually been buying a lot of vintage lately, need to take a break for a while! I love the jacket and it's close to my size, but I know it'll reach upwards of $200 in the end, which is beyond what I'd ever consider spending on 1 article of clothing.

It was by chance really. At the June 2012 jazz age lawn party I happened to meet a costumer from the show who gave my info to the casting director. The casting company itself has a website that posts what kind of background extras they're looking for. Here's the link, http://gwcnyc.com/casting.php
The getup I was given when I worked on the show in March. The jacket is dated 1921, and I think the pants are from pre-1910, they have that a small flair which I think was big in the 1900's. The waistcoat and shirt are most likely the same era.
