This one is in a rich chocolate brown wool. The condition is excellent, but the suit does need slight alterations for a better fit.. (the jacket waist and seat of the trousers / inseam)... ;)

The hat is my vintage Royal Scot... The tie, vintage 40's.... :)

Well, haven't you been lucky lately? I haven't seen many brown suits from that era either. Sharp outfit--that tie looks like it was sold with the suit--perfect!

What! No artillery?
Better go in and get your blunderbus...the Boss don't want nobody nosin' round the hideout.

Sharp looking browns, BTW! It takes a confident type to carry off a brown suit that doesn't have brass buttons and epaulets.

:eusa_doh: Rule three! Rule three!

That aside, what a great suit!


Thanks for the compliment on the suit. :) What the hell is "rule three?? " :confused:

EDIT: If you mean my fingers on the triggers.... I personally checked the chambers, and inserted an empty magazine into the BHP before the pics.... ;) I just wish that folks driving by would get used to my pic poses without ducking behind their steering wheels, and running off of the road... :eek:

Techno, you look dangerous enough without the guns in these killer diller suits you've been posting! And with the hats, ties and shoes, you look like da boss, forget the henchman.

I really like the rich chocolate colour of this latest find. You don't see that colour in modern suits.

Rule three is the third of the Four Rules of firearm handling.

I am glad to hear that you performed a chamber check on both firearms before taking the pictures, but a person seeing only the photo has no way to know that. I am a firm believer in modeling safe gun handling, and I encourage others to do likewise. There are far too many examples of people modeling irresponsible behavior on the internet and elsewhere.

Apologies to everyone for the :eek:fftopic: - I don't mean to hijack the thread. We now return to suit admiration...:)
