Paul, is that one you found ?
Oh yes. But wait...is there a patch pocket on the waistcoat? Why don't you just sew it yourself ;-)i'll have this one of Buster Keaton's too:

This was found by a friend of mine. He had an "in" into Harold Lloyd's mansion before the estate sale (a few years ago). Mr. Lloyd never, EVER got rid of anything ... but he also didn't take good care of what he had. My friend got into a pantry next to one of the kitchens: there was a rack of Lloyd's suits in there, from the '20s to the '50s or so. All of them had notable moth damage and mold stains. My friend got the one that I showed in the photos. Another suit from the same rack sold at auction recently, but it was in really terrible condition.
I have belief that it was that kind of '20s jacket, (which in the film shows it also has a belted back), is really what inspired the '60s/'70s mod versions instead of the '30s ones.good choices. i really love that Keaton tweedy jacket and waistcoat too.
Does this fella count as "famous"?
