Amazing suit. What are those on the backside of the jacket pockets? Cloth covered buttons? For reinforcement?

Wow, the attention to durability-related detail on this suit is exceptional. So many new (to me) such details on one suit . . . congratulations on it!

1930s? I reckon so. What say you?


Any thoughts about this suit would be greatly appreciated!

I thought it might be earlier. The close button stance made me immediately think of the 1920s.

Two questions:
The rear of the inner waistband - Is that a loop for hanging the trousers?
Are the button-holes in the fly slanted? If so, that's something I have never seen before.

Wow. Just wow. The interior construction of the coat is like nothing I've ever seen before, especially with those round patches.

Buttonmakers Armfield & Co. have been in business since 1763... :eeek:

I have two pairs of German trousers with slanted button holes in the fly.

Seems to be slightly more of a Continental thing - I have a Swiss suit with similar slanting buttonholes in the fly, but none of my British made suits have that. Obviously not always the case, though.....

Don't forget golfing and the tweed run.;)



No seriously, a beautiful outfit. I would think it looks even better in reality because the photograph doesn't show the red overcheck (forgot the word for it). You didn't get the other socks?
