1930's Palm beach Wool Suit With Belted Back And Action Back

[Mario]

No Palm Beach cloth here. Seems to be made from the same kind of light, airy wool fabric as my 1930's Palm Beach suit (same color too). Reasonable price.

looks just like Palm Beach fabric to me.
and a rare colour too !

You're actually right, it even very clearly says Palm Beach cloth on the label. I really gotta fetch me some new glasses soon... :eusa_doh:[huh]

Oh dear... Maybe I've been fooled into thinking that this was not your standard PB cloth simply because it has almost the same color as my 30's PB suit, which is NOT made from Palm Beach cloth.

incidentally, Palm Beach - an amazing cloth made of 50/50 mohair and cotton - is the perfect spring fabric in my humble.
in Sears 1923 edition it was available in:

-medium grey
-dark tan
-dark blue
-dark grey (fancy stripe!)
-olive green
-olive green heather

white or cream are by far the most common examples found today. 1920s Palm Beach suits... come to daddy !

Apart from the fact that it's not in my budget at this time there is something tragic for me to be found in this suit ye again: While the pants could very easily be worked to fit me (which is a rare thing) the jacket is simply way too large. There goes the story of my life...again!

It's a very good thing that I could not afford that suit at the moment. What a relief it is to say that!

If the sleeves can be let down about two inches I'll take it.

It's hard to really tell the color of this one by looking at the photos as they all have a greenish tint to them (which I just confirmed using Photoshop). My PB suit seems to have a very similar color. It's actually some kind of tan but one can't help to think that there is something greenish about the color sometimes. I've never really managed to properly capture that color in a photo.

looks like 'duck egg blue' which is a pale greeny blue.
i have a 30s suit in a similar colour. in fact, i should post it in the 30s suits thread in case some of the new members haven't seen it.

That'd be cool! We could take a stroll along the canal in the summer with our Palm Beach suits...

Blue? Well, I'll take your word for it.

I just tried again to take a photo of the fabric of my PB suit. Doesn't quite nail it. [huh]

​

 

[Rudie]

Yeah. Two guys in vintage Palm Beach and white bucks.

 

[herringbonekid]

oh, that one i mentioned isn't a Palm Beach, it's wool. see the 1930s suits thread.

 

[herringbonekid]

Blue? Well, I'll take your word for it.

not blue, greeny-blue.

 

[Mario]

not blue, greeny-blue.

Ok. Point taken.

 

[Mario]

And? Did a lounger win it?

 

[Rudie]

I didn't. My highest bid was much higher and I would have won it, but my sniper didn't bid. [huh] What a bummer! This is a bargain price.

 

[Mario]

Dang! A bummer indeed. Happend to me twice (albeit only with hats, never with a suit). That would have blown my day...

 

[Rudie]

No, it takes more than this to blow my day. After all it's just a suit.

 

[Mario]

Then you're a better man than I.

 

[AntonAAK]

I didn't. My highest bid was much higher and I would have won it, but my sniper didn't bid. [huh] What a bummer! This is a bargain price.

By way of consolation, you don't know that you would have won it. The final purchaser might have had a much higher maximum bid than the one he ended up paying.
