1930s+ Suits, GOODBYE!

[Marc Chevalier]

.

Time to share images of (and 'memorialize'?) some 1930s-'40s suits of mine (one of which hasn't really been seen before on the Lounge), before they leave my bod forever and go off to eBayland.



1948 wool suit, size 40R.

 

[slicedbread]

im gonna steal that suit

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Early 1930s, jet black (much darker than in the photos) wool 3-piece suit. True size 40R.

 

[Dinerman]

Man oh man. That's the suit I'd get if I were getting a suit. It's probably too short for me though.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

If you're six feet tall or over, it will probably look too short on you.

.

 

[Dinerman]

yep, 6'1"- that's why you don't see me making many "hey look what I got" threads in the suits section.

 

[Nonchalant]

My goodness, these suits are fantastic! The black 3-piece is a wonder... I hope you'll make a killing off of both of them! (As if there were any doubt)

 

[Dagwood]

AHHH - Curse my "ridiculously single" 42R body.

 

[Sefton]

Hmm,just about my size. I'm afraid of the suit shark bidding frenzy that's gonna get started by those beauts!

 

[Orgetorix]

Early 1930s, jet black (much darker than in the photos) wool 3-piece suit. True size 40R.

Man, that'd be perfect for the stroller I've been wanting to cobble together...

How are the lengths on that 3-piece's pants? I'd love to own a 3-piece and a 40R should work for me, but I'm concerned about the waist and length of the trousers.

Yes I agree! same goes for me and man-oh-man what beautiful lapels on those!

 

[mike]

may I ask why you're selling these?! they seem to great to let go! unless... they are haunted..!!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I got them with one purpose: to sell them.

.

 

[Matt Deckard]

YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE HAUNTED!

 

[thunderw21]

Heck, I'd pay for a haunted suit...as long as the look was to die for.

 

[aliados]

More lovely stuff on the Crosby Square auction block.

UPDATE

Due to the "Bandwidth Exceeded" photo hosting issue (which will not be resolved until May 22), and due to the fact that I'm too cheap to pay eBay to host my auction photos (and too lazy to spend hours uploading them onto a new photo hosting site) ... my auctions are hereby postponed until the evening of SUNDAY, MAY 27.
