it is a beautiful suit, there were a few bidders pushing it over 500 bucks. I was one of them, drunk as a skunk, but happy 2 people outbid me in the last moments. I've bought from the seller before and they're quite decent folks! :)
HAHAHA That would be great!
But alas, last I heard the Met wasn't able to afford the insurance for the Tut exhibit after 9/11! But that would be an awesome idea, especially considering how Egypt-crazy the world went in the 20's!
The only time I saw such an old suit for sale it went for almost two months rent for me! Far too rich for my blood :eusa_doh:
I saw you mention that overcoat.. no pictures yet though?
Missed ya at Dances of Vice this past weekend!
I would love to see more pictures of the complete 3 piece Old Town suits...
I guess I'm thrown by them because they are sold as separates and not made to measure. But if they work... they work! It seems to me that they might be dead on and they have heavy weight material offered...
I'd like to include my bulldog in some photos, buuuuut any suggestions on leather harnesses that aren't blaringly modern?!

When ye olde bruised wallet can manage it, I'd love to have...
bump! :p
Does anyone know of anyone who has had a reproduction of a teens/20's suit like this made? If so, what would be the pitfalls in creating one? I ask because sometimes repro suits that incorporate classic 30's/40's stylings still have aspects of them that resemble modern era suits...
I love this film but have kinda stayed away from it since getting really into Wallace Beery... the Champ is not just another film?! Beery is not just some dumb actor! Barton Fink is supposed to be somewhat King Vidor making boiled down, human pictures (ala the Crowd!)
Anyway, Barton Fink is...
Huh! That's an interesting feature I never noticed before, the bowtie on the back of the sweatband was functional as a cincher to make for a tighter fit. Does this work well? How old a detail is this by hatmakers? Anyone know when it become strictly for decoration?
Dinerman! I didn't see these pictures before! (my work computer blocks a lot of linked images) WOW! The original cap is great, can we see pictures of it on? Your dad played on that album? A collection of Frank Stokes covers?!?! Do tell! :)
