Indy Magnoli 3 piece suit

[dostacos]

well I just convinced my wife that a Indy suit would be a better deal than one of the other customs,

so as soon as he is back from his month long vacation..... just in time for the QM meeting now to talk her into that white 39 caddy

Congrats! I ordered a Magnoli a few weeks ago, I can hardly wait!

 

[Feraud]

What style and fabric did you choose?

 

[dhermann1]

Me, too. I ordered the Marrakesh suit. As I recall it's the Goldenrod. It's so hard to tell the colors from the computer. The measuring process was a real adventure. I also got a pair of Hollywood pants. They should be here soon. Indy was going on holiday a couple weeks ago, but he said my stuff should be on its way soon. This will be interesting. You know I'll be posting pix, if I'm at all able to get into the duds! If it works out, I'm giving serious thought to the Fairbanks suit. I'm even growing the mustache to go with it!
Then, of course, the 41 Buick! Tho I do like the idea of the 39 Caddy!

Did you get floating canvas? It's $70 extra, but well worth it both for the vintage look and longer wearability you'll get.

Someone else here should be able to explain it/link an article better than I could.

EDIT: Actually, here's a pretty good article explaining it.

Gulp!

Gulp! I dunno. I thought that's how all Indy's suits are built. I'll let you know. (Nervously chewing on what's left of his nails.)

I have been waiting for a new powered wheelchair since Jan. this year, and it finally arrived set up CORRECTLY today

I have needed somebody with me to get my current chair in and out of the car.

NOW I can get a "new" car with a lift or a ramp so I can be mobile again. I just called her at work and she said we can talk about it now if I can find a nice late model [39] caddy that I can ramp or lift for the chair I am IN.

I really don't want a mini van, may have to settle for an old woodie, or panel van or maybe an old suburban

Good to know, but what has that to do with the topic?

I've also got a Marrakesh order in for Magnoli once he gets back from holiday. I'm getting mine in Caramel.

And you're going where with this comment?[huh]

I figured the Marrakesh would be the most all purpose useful. I was thinking that if this one came out OK, especially fit-wise, I'd go for another jazzier one, like the Fairbanks.

thinking about vents in the suit, I will need a vent and probably 2 to sit properly in the chair, guess I left that part out

 

[dhermann1]

Aha! Makes perfect sense now.

Technically, you could get the suit made to look good while sitting, regardless of style. Patrick Stewart had his made like that in the three X-Men movies, and I imagine many wheelchair confined people would have theirs made like that in real life as well. I'd ask Magnoli about it when he returns.

My Magnoli Marrakesh arrived today. No time for pictures, but a quick try on looked pretty good!:eusa_clap
