so many dark suits... and more to come and i think those are much heavier cloth and even linings are thicker. To my apprentice eyes I think that makes them superior in wear (now I don't want to start which is better war) I just like to have robust cloth around me. That's why my summer wear consists US made suits and allaround suits are european.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
Oh, most of those German suits are actually pretty heavy, with a nice full lining to boot, thank you. I guess I'm on the safe side when I assume that Finnish suits tend to be on the darker end of the luma scale as well, eh?
what I ment is that Finnish suits like German/european suits are heavier compared to US made. I lost quite several words in my original post.
Doub! again I thought faster than I did write
Last year I bought a nice straightforward, British-made chalk stripe suit from 1949. I'm sad to say that I had to return it as there were one or two rather quirky things about the pants, which the seller and I only really discovered once it had arrived here (the strangest thing I've ever seen). That suit really wore like iron!
Does anybody recognize the door in the background?
Heartbreaking. I feel with you :hug:
...not that the current selection isn't impressive... it is; the amount of quality vintage suits on Britbay has gone up by about 95% overnight since this seller's arrival. but i'm waiting for the belted-backs before i fork over big money.
