    1930s/1940s herringbone tweed jacket w/ patch pockets 35R

    Guttersnipe, vintage British suits are closer to the body than American suits (assuming we're talking 30s-40s, not early 20s). 3" is the standard amount of ease room in an off the peg Burtons, CC41, demob suit or similar. 2" though is doable over a shirt, for a very fitted, but acceptable look...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    Edward, the knit is very heavy in the earlier cardigans, called 'shaker' knit and it has a distinctive mini 'chevron' pattern. it's a very sturdy, heavy ply wool. many later cardigans are made with lighter 'Donegal' type wool which has a fuzzier, sometimes mottled look. that's not to say...

    Shawl Collar Cardigans

    the Black Sheep one has a post 60s look though. the 20s-40s ones are desirable to those who want a cardigan to fit into a 20-40s period look. and they're scarcer. hence the higher prices !
