Are those double-breast-pockets on Jimmy Stewart's? Pretty cool.
Good eye! Yes, they are.

I've always marvelled at Stewart's suit in "It's a Wonderful Life". I also very much love the cozy looking one he's wearing in "'Harvey".
I like the fact that many actors (most notably Carey Grant) were not just well dressed on screen but also in real life. That's probably why the costume department trusted them to choose their own costumes.Those suits were from Jimmy Stewart's own closet, by the way.

Rather than simply leech advice, knowledge and wisdom, I thought perhaps I might contribute a little ....
That is nice, Marc but a little too small for me unfortunately.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on a MTM three piece from Bookster. Was initially going for a simple mid-grey or charcoal herringbone but this Harris tweed has rather taken my fancy - http://www.tweed-jacket.com/CLOTH PAGE/CLOTH GALLERY/images/Country-Herringbone-Check-H.jpg
Still not sure whether to go with the conservative option or the slightly more flamboyant one but I have ordered some swatches and will decide when I have the fabrics in my hand.
...Made by Cricketeer. I'm guessing it is 1950s based on the logo, the tag and the style...but I'm still a novice so I've got a lot to learn.
