    1940s Tuxedo/Dinner Jacket--42R/43R

    One edit to the original post: the 1939 union tag was in use from 1939 to 1949, not 1940 as I originally posted. I meant to type 1949; it has been corrected.

    Florsheim Imperial tan scotchgrain longwings, size 12D. Uppers are in excellent condition with a bit of black edge dressing near the toe of each shoe, which should come off easily with some acetone. Double soles show a bit of wear, but are still in excellent condition and rock-solid. Great...

    Three Standard Suits

    I would think that a charcoal single breasted, a navy double breasted, and a slightly less formal "Friday suit" would cover just about all the occasions on which you'd need to wear a suit.

    What can I wear a wool tie with?

    Yup, wool ties are 're great with suits or odd jackets for fall and winter. Just about anywhere you'd wear a silk tie, you can wear a wool one. It just depends on the color and pattern. Some look almost like sportcoat material and are more casual, others are fine wool challis woven or printed...

    Looking for good quality reproductions, or a good source for vintage

    Waistcoats were very common in the '30s, probably the majority of suits were made with them, both single-and double-breasted. The war cut into this when cloth rationing measures put a crimp on things like waistcoats that used excess fabric. This led to the decline of the waistcoat's popularity...

    1931 waist coat

    You realize, don't you, that it is an evening waistcoat, meant to be worn with a dinner jacket and trousers of the same fabric? The low button stance makes that clear. Nice find, but don't wear it with daytime clothes!

    1) There are vast amounts of RL clothing out there. In the 40 years Ralph has been in business, the company has produced massive amounts of clothing under a plethora of lines and labels--some of it excellent, some of it good, lots of it not so good. Most of the new RL suits on Ebay, for...
