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

[Baron Kurtz]

Palm Beach came in some astonishing colours and patterns. I have a scan somewhere around of a 1932 (or '33) Apparel Arts Fabrics and Fashions magazine ad for PB suits. Really amazing.

But why is it that most vintage Palm Beach suits you find these days are either (off-)white or tan/beige? It's what is usually perceived as the standard Palm Beach color.
