Oh for a time machine HBK! Thanks for link some great photo's there...I missed the original post.
so you look just like Meyer Lansky in Boardwalk Empire in that last one.1922 Jazz suits. notice the slight convex edge of the lapel (not the front edge, the short edge where it meets the gorge point):
not sure what this weave is called but i like it:
p.s. i'm digging through old threads for 1920s images. here's Metropd in an original 1926 suit:
While somewhat exaggerated (grossly so... just compare hand to head relation) by this illustration it shows well why I'd never wear something from the early 20's... "waterhead effect".
Wow! This thread is an absolute gold mine for great suits! I personally think that the suits of the 20s are by far the nicest looking suits of any era. The pants, the jackets, everything just seems so... correct!
I been thinking about convincing my parents to let me have a suit made for my 16th birthday later this month and I do believe I'll using this thread for reference!
Does anyone have a fabric suggestions? Anything that is close to a 20s weight/style would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Samson
