overpriced much?

 

[Guttersnipe]

Because there are only three types of vintage suits, Zoot suits, gangster suits, and mad men suits . . .

OH GOOOD!!!

Like my contempt to when wearing a db suit, I am called a gangster.

 

[Two Types]

According to the seller, this suit is "Sooooo Mad Men !!!!!" ...

... except that it's not.

that jacket covers all the bases... zoot to Mad Men in one garment !

now that is a versatile jacket.

Darned... I badly wanted a Boardwalk Empire jacket.

Nope not this one. According to the seller this one covers mid 40s- early 60s not 20-30s

" Gangster era vintage ! Sooooo Mad Men !!!!! " is the proper term actually.

Let the buyer beware. Here is another, Zoot/Gangster/Mad Men offering from the same seller.

This is actually a women's jacket if I am not mistaken? The buttons appear to be on the wrong side for men's wear,... :eusa_doh:

The only decade mentioned in this bargain sale are the 30's:
"VTG 1930's Jerry Lane Zoot Suit Jacket" "eye grabbing 1930's Zoot Suit jacket".

So we have a genuine 1930's Mad Men Zoot! :clap: I cannot describe my joy.
