Holy Grail runner-up suit

[Marc Chevalier]

'Tis the season for wonderful vintage 1940s suits.


This one went for very little, considering its quality, condition, and size (41 Long): http://cgi.ebay.com/OI-Vintage-40s-...&otn=1&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=1579370791579193513


Rogers Peet haberdashery (1874-mid 1980s) was, at its heart, Brooks Brothers' fun-loving collegiate baby brother. WASP all the way, yet puckish; it never took itself too seriously. And yet ... Rogers Peet merchandise was magnificent: high-quality fabrics, well-tailored ... and expensive.

It's good... but I'm not in love with it.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

IMO, better photos would have done it justice.

Suits certainly sell better when photographs are taken of them on dummies. Most suits look like potato sacks when on the hanger like the one in this thread.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Yep. On a form or a mannequin, with a harmonious shirt and tie.

Very nice but the fabric doesn't look to be as nice as that of the A & S or Twyeffort suits. Maybe better photos would help.

My guess is that it's a high-grade flannel. Not in the A & S and Twyeffort league, to be sure, which is why it's a "runner-up".

Good deal!
