I am also selling an attractive bluish-grey double-breasted waistcoat, in the less common style without lapels. It should fit someone of around a 40" chest. The absence of any makers' labels suggests to me that it might have been bespoke tailored, and it is certainly vintage, although of what...
Up for auction at the moment I have two German black fur felt homburgs, both around a UK size 7 (the Mayser homburg, which is unsized, measures around a 7 but feels slightly bigger, the Austin is marked an Eu 57 but measures slightly smaller, at 56.5cm). The Mayser is in nice condition overall...

The 16" long gold-tone chain with the squared-off links (Item X2611MA6) looks like an interesting possibility for the right kind of watch. Good luck with your quest John!
As some of you may have spotted on another thread, I recently went through a mini-quest to find a chain for an old silver-plated pocket watch that I acquired last year. Via eBay I acquired four chains before I found the one (actually two as it turns out!) I was looking for. I don't know what...
Thanks Marc - I am pleased, as it should stop my bank manager crying down the 'phone at me. For a while at least.
It gets a bit wearying month after month!
Thanks Paddy - my wife and daughter were delighted by the win, me (being an expatriate) not so much! It is a nice piece and I'd like to think of it going to a good home, and where better than a member of the Lounge! I've added a couple of pictures of the back of the trousers so that people can...
