30's Latvian suit with link button closure

[Patrick Hall]

Supposedly from the Boardwalk Empire wardrobe collection. Looks a bit like some of those Romanians we keep seeing in the Suits section. Hope you're tiny with average-to-short legs though.

It is from the Wardrobe used for Boardwalk empire. I know who the seller is and we talk frequently.

These are selling fast. He will also be putting up many tweed knickers.

The advert for the Latvian suit highlights its trouser buttons:

Very similar buttons are currently available from a Czech seller on Etsy:

The first suit was a GORGEOUS three piece blue suit with peak lapels and a nice windowpane. It was gone within forty minutes. I know, because I noticed it on tumblr an hour later and went to buy it, only to find it was already gone. He hit the jackpot with the Boardwalk Empire sell-off!

That one sold fast. It was also a 36 and I had shared it with my peers I don't think they even had a shot at it.

When it arrives.
Its British made, dated 1936 .

were the suits he has for sale actually seen on screen ? i stopped watching after season 2 and wouldn't recognise any of the 30s suits.

 

[DamianM]

I never watched the show so I have to see. it has a designated number on which season it was used.
All the true vintage was used for the extras and background people and new designer made suits where worn by the main actors. The suits where not all 20s they where mixed dates from late 20s -40s suits.

You can sometimes see belt backs that are clearly from the 30s but its "1924" in the show.
