The seller much missed former lounger Mike. He has some killer auctions going on right now.

I think I bumped into Mike in the subway station once. One of those rare encounters with another FL member!

Is the suit really that old? I'm no expert, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but between the two button cuffs, the lapels, and the fact that it's a sack jacket, I'd have guessed late 1960s.

[huh]

That's definitely authentic '20s/'30s. 2 button cuffs were common in the '20s and '30s (I have a 1926 dated suit with 2 button cuffs), the material and cut of the suit, and don't forget the pants, all point towards pre-WWII.
