difficult to get a good idea of the cut of the jacket from those photos.

Yeah, it looks like a sack.

Mid-1920s sack suit. The jacket's skirts are longish, as was the fashion back then. A standard businessman suit of the era.

If the sleeves are long enough, that damn thing would fit me. Hmmmm. GoldenEraFan, is this yours? Do you know the sleeve length?

 

[filfoster]

I bought it. Sleeves were 26", a match! Now to find a nice bowler.

Thanks, GoldenEraFan.

Thanks, GoldenEraFan.

Ah no not my listing. But I'm glad this suit found a good home with a Fedora Lounger.

I was able to add a mint early 1900's bowler (and picked up a nice dove gray '40s Homburg) from www.american-classics.net too.

I've bought many items from them, and even sold them a few things. They have a great selection and some pretty good prices.

This is probably not the place to post this but I just got this suit. I have bought vintage suits before and they're nice but usually needed alteration, with the preservation angst that causes, to fit. This is preternatural! This beautiful three piece suit fits me EXACTLY. The unpaddes shoulders even sit just like a '20's suit should. OMG. This was fate.

'Gratz! Pictures are needed!!

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Yeah. That's pretty cool. Make sure you post pictures in the other threads too.

Wow you made out like a bandit on that! I normally have some luck but to find something THAT vintage that fits you like your tailor made it is really sweet all on it's own!

I will try to post some pics in the Suits forum as soon as I can. I got more info on this amazing find: It came from an auction in New Hampshire and it had been stored in a trunk for a very long time, which accounts for it's pristine condition. For fun, I took it accross the street to our local Brooks Brothers store where we gave it a good look-over. Found BB tags on each item, all hand sewn and printed/hand inked in consistent markings with "Long" on each, which is certainly true! I am a skinny 6' 2" tall. It is interesting that this suit is unlined but has beautifully finished seams and very nice Bemberg sleeve lining. Two button style, two buttons on each cuff with faux button holes. All jacket pockets are 'patch' and fit perfectly smooth. The trousers are button fly, 1 3/4" cuffs, long belt loops and suspender buttons and slight 'fishtail' waistband at rear. The vest is four pocket, six buttons, all matching the jacket and trouser buttons. I am satisfied it's 'real' and probably 1910's-1920's. I am still pinching myself. Got the bowler today too, to display with it.

That's great! Finding vintage items that fit perfectly is such a treat
