Ahhh, but i'd want it in a betrousered version. 37S is too big for me, anyway.

[Marc Chevalier]

I'm still recovering from Nathan's lilac fedora (a Stetson Whippet, I believe) and that green lid of his.

Saddle bag pockets on a DB?? Ingenious!


I'm drooling...what size are all these suits again???

This thread had inspired me to make a foto album of every piece of clothing I own...A great way to keep track of things. Also good to have foto referances of things sold off. This could be fun. Does anyone else have an album like that?

Jazz suit...scare off moths...HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one. Maybe I need one of those... Naaaaah.lol I just keep a large toad tied up in my closet.

They're sizes 36-37 short.

Funny you should mention that. My friend Nathan has so many ties, shirts, and pocket handkerchiefs, it's hard for him to keep track of what matches best with what.

He came up with the idea of: (1) finding which tie/pocket square/shirt combinations look best with certain suits, (2) taking photos of these combinations, (3) printing them, and (4) putting them into an album. (Similar to what film and theatrical costumers do.) That way, when Nathan needs to get dressed quickly, he can simply consult his album and then reach for the appropriate suit + shirt + tie + pocket square.

Not a bad idea, huh?

A Question.

They're sizes 36-37 short.

.

Is there one size that is most commonly available in vintage menswear?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

In my experience, yes: size 38 short, or 38 regular.

.

 

[The Wingnut]

36 or 37 short, eh?

*sound of knives being sharpened and guns being loaded*

...where'd you say he lives, again? *keys jangling*

...seriously, amazing collection. Love to talk shop with the guy sometime. Have to know how on earth he makes such incredible finds.

I'd love a green lid like that. Perfect for my green suit.

(hey, look! Post #600! Yeah, I know, big deal...)

 

[Matt Deckard]

I need to go scouting around more in the local thrift stores.

Good seeing those suits preserved so well... though not so hard when it's made of the fabrics they used back in the day.

Can you post a close up view of how they did the center pleat on the jackets with the center pleats?

Thanks for the pics. Derby this weekend?

You can meet him in person. Nathan is the co-founder of the infamous "1947 Project" blog, and hosts the ever-popular "Crime Bus Tours":
