Blue Suit Ad One other tidbit of information about that suit, which led me to this ad: In the upper chest pocket of the jacket, there was an old Robt. Burns cigar band. In Googling that, I found this! It was on a university History Project website and according to that, there is no copyright... -

SB Fabric Thanks all for answering! I'll go ahead and get a close-up of that blue suit fabric for you... and get tag info AND for the brown and black striped suit that Baron asked about too. As for the Gaberdine being a very smooth stretchy twill, I'm not so sure I agree with that; I had... -

Hello..... I have 2 suits that I would like you guys to take a look at. The spots that you see are from the camera's flash -sorry, due to all the gray skies and snow here, it's too dark inside to take a photo that shows up well. The first is a suit from the estate of a southern judge... -

? Year of the overcoat, part II
When yer right, yer right! Yeah, I guess you're right about the 70s, no chance of the 60s huh? I despise the 70s and don't want to think that this wonderful coat was from that era! It's kind of Burberry-ish on the inside, at least the inner lining is! Oh well..... wanna compromise and call...- Martina

? Year of this overcoat w/ horn buttons
Buttons, cuffs? I almost forgot..... what is the proper term for those buttons? Horn? I don't think antler or bone, or are they none of the above? Also, any idea of the 'proper' name for those cuffs? Thanks! ~Martina~- Martina

? Year of the overcoat, part II
This coat has a BUTTON-out lining and collar of black wool. The inner lining is cotton I believe. I have NO idea of this coat's age... I was think older though, due to all the neat gadgets on the collar and the neat inner vertical pocket, at the chest. The inner lining -the one...- Martina

Need year made please: Hollywood Clothes® Suit & 2 Others
Belt Backed Suit 1940s or 60s? It's a dark brown belt-back. I think 1940s but maybe 60s? It's definitely a light weight gaberdine wool. It has a metal zipper and 4 slide clip things above the zipper. BUT the only tag on it says Made in Italy... so I'm at a loss! It's really nice though and... -

That will give large photos... Thanks for the advice Nick about the photos but these are fairly large and I was trying to put Clickable thumbnails in here, rather than the full sized photos themselves.
