    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    . Even if you're not sure, give it a guess. If you've been avidly reading the "Suits" section of the Lounge, then your guess will probably be right.

    Your complete 4-part country solution...

    I completely understand. Just to let you know, the Japanese who buy suits from me tend to be in high-level positions in advertising/graphic design companies. One of my best Japanese customers is independently wealthy and the 'dean' of Japan's clique of swing dance enthusiasts. Another...

    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    . This is a rhetorical question, since I already know the answer. Still, I put it to you: which two of the three business suits below are early to mid 1920s period-accurate, and why?

    Maybe you're right, but consider this: the very best vintage suits are very rare everywhere, even in America. And yet, few Americans seem to be winning them on eBay anymore. (And, trust me, the best vintage American suits are no longer hanging in vintage clothing store racks: the store owners...

    Don't be scared. You can pay a lot, lot less if you find a suit before the other buyers do. The key is to get informed, search well, and have some luck.

    . And that's the key phrase here: "international market". For the most part, Americans are no longer paying big money for any vintage suits, no matter how rare and wonderful they might be -- unless a celebrity wore 'em, of course. On the other hand, Europeans, Australians/New Zealanders, and...

    I believe that, on the open (international) market, it is worth several thousand dollars.

    The Cap Faction

    You'll find that flat cap-wearing can quickly become an addiction. They're comfortable, can be stuffed in your coat pocket if necessary, and --to be brutally honest-- are perceived by the outside world as being less 'eccentric' than fedoras. In situations where you *might* not want to stand...

    And if my friend hadn't unwittingly made the second highest bid, I would have won the suit for $887. Still a lot of dough, to be sure, but a good bit less than this suit is worth IMO.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I agree with you re. the sole channeling and the half-spade shape. Based on the elaborate sole and everything else, I'd say they're 1930s. Should go for a pretty penny once you've cleaned 'em up!

    Thank you, Baron. And would you believe it? I just found out that a very good friend of mine was the second highest bidder! Neither of us had any idea that the other was going to go for the suit! (If he weren't my friend, I might be mad: without his bid, I could have won the suit for $360...

    . Glad that Loungers are enjoying this remarkable suit! A form-fitting 39 R, in fact. The coat's sleeves are high and tight, and its chest has no 'English drape' -- but the hips flare out slighty.

    This is just painful to watch

    What's not nice? I'm showing my admiration of Jews, Mormons and atheists/agnostics. Something wrong with this?

    Burgundy suit, what colour shoes

    I think that, with burgundy, it's better to go darker than lighter. In fact, I think black shoes would look fine. (Burgundy and black go well together.)
