Did YOU win this here suit?

It's probably from the late 1990s. Looks very Golden Era, though. Did you win it? What do you think of it?

Good tongue-twister there!

As for the designer, here's what I found:



AVERY LUCAS (men's clothing collection for spring 1992)

Daily News Record; 12/5/1991


"For Avery Lucas, the attention to detail in his clothing collection for St. Laurie is unmatched. 'I'm still falling in love with what I do,' he says -- and it shows. 'For me, it's not just clothing." His aim is to 'uplift a man's morale.'

The collection of vintage '30s-inspired silhouettes introduced last season has evolved, yet remains true to its original vision. Among the outstanding renditions for spring are a new two-button single-breasted suit model with peak lapels rendered in an unusually heavyweight linen that resists wrinkles, a black and white double-breasted cotton gingham-check sport coat with three open patch pockets, a mustard three-button silk jacket with flat patch pockets reminiscent of hunting apparel and a gray and white wool crepe glen plaid suit with a blue windowpane. A cotton voile shirt cut on the horizontal with french cuffs and a spread collar is a practical and innovative idea for looking freshly pressed in the heat of summer."



Notice that the article above is from December, 1991. Avery Lucas was doing single-breasted peak lapels back then!

I saw that suit... thought it a pretty good copy of an early 30's job! The same sellers also have some good vintage suits up on the block! Wish they were my size!!!

I saw the other suits too! Way too small.

So this may be a line to watch out for.

Yeah, they had some nice ones on there. They weren't too small...just too pricey.
Plus, I am putting my eggs in another basket.

 

[herringbonekid]

too big.

For a time AL designed for St.Laurie, an old line New York maker. I met him around ten years ago when he ran the custom department at Dunhill. He's no longer at Dunhill and I haven't heard his name lately. I didn't even think St. Laurie was still in business
