Mid 20s jacket and waistcoat?

[cpdv]

Definitely NOT a jazz suit like it says but it looks mid 20s to me http://www.ebay.com/itm/310875802304?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Could already be 30's, although something from the second half of the 20's is not out of question IMO.
I tend to 1930's.

Certainly not 1910-20's as per description.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

At a guess the later part of the early 30s.

the later part of the early 30s.

I disagree, I say the early part of the mid 30s.

 

[herringbonekid]

the lower pockets on the waistcoat (flaps in a seam) were more commonly seen in the 20s. also the lining fabric looks earlier.
i'm going for late 20s.

 

[DamianM]

late 20s- early 30s
Mohair lining.

Conservative cut single B peak lapel.

Oh I know, when I see one I may have to rob a liquor store to afford it.

You seem more like a purse snatcher to me.

I'm not seeing any obvious signs of mohair (particularly the lack of sheen is telling) or any mention by the seller.[huh] Looks like a basic plainweave, probably acetate/celanese, given the era, just a slightly duller sheen than most jackets of similar age.

 

[herringbonekid]

looks like alpaca lining to me.

More liquor stores in Maine than women who carry purses he he.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Really? What's the giveaway? I'm literally just seeing a dull finish plainweave.

looks like alpaca lining to me.

 

[herringbonekid]

the dull finish is the giveaway. compare the close ups of the lining with these (from that 20s Brit suit that sold recently):

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Ah, same stuff as in the hacking jacket TwoTypes found for me in Bournemouth.

2nd question - how do you know that stuff is alpaca? Presumably from a labelled example? I realise the stuff Im thinking of right now is "Alpagora". Was there "Mopaca"? The "Alpagora" is very different to what we're talking about here.

 

[herringbonekid]

how do you know that stuff is alpaca?

i've owned a couple of jackets with alpaca lining and i'm fairly confident about recognising it ... never can be certain with photos though.

it seems to have been very common in the US in the 20s and was used in the UK well into the 30s (usually on bespoke). i think that brown brit POW suit that sold a while ago for £750 also had it.

of course, even if it is alpaca that doesn't prove the jacket is 20s.

(the jacket also reminds me of Marc's late 20s one with the fancy internal pocket bag covers).
