The Bukta ones I've seen advertised with raglan sleeves. To be honest, I've never seen another one of these, in this kind of fabric. I've come across a few suede ones, but they tend to be cut bigger.

These are the seller's pictures; I hope to get more tomorrow, if the weather's a bit better.

It is indeed very, very short. With a pair of reasonable reproduction 30s jeans, the front just about covers the waistband, so on the verge of too short, but not quite. It may very well have been a ladies jacket, though the style was identical for men and women. I would point out that there is no bust shaping, so probably a men's jacket. They are typically shown quite short in the illustrations, and a Tailor and Cutter pattern I have for a "golf blouse jacket" is for a rather short jacket - to fit 36 chest with 18" sleeve forearm (me, essentially), the jacket is 19 3/4" long. That's even shorter than this Macintosh!

This was in a lot of some shirts a friend bought on the fleamarket. I got three from her but they all have rather short arms. Can't complain because it was really really cheap. They are all pull over style and have really long tails. Do you think this one is a sports/ casual shirt or a nightshirt?

This one doesn't fit me at all but my girlfriend might wear it for her "girls in guys garb" outfits . Love the teardrop (or hirondelle) shape of the collar.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I'd wear both as business shirts.

Wouldn't it be nice if bankers were dressing in shirts like these?

Had already promised myself of not buying anything for a while but I couldn't resist myself when I found this for 18$/11,25£ at a flea market.

A black tie jacket from 1911

Damask buttons, the other front one is missing

The silk in the lapels are worn and should be replaced

And lastly the tag

Not every day you find something this old

I can see someone riding a nice BMW with a side car wearing these and looking like the king of the road! Really nice! You need some boots to go along or no?

i also bid on a DB waistcoat from the same seller but missed out; it went for £93 !

i remember when you could buy a whole suit for £93 and still have change for a tie.

Uh-oh. Grandpa is unpacking his old wartimes stories again. There he's getting that glazed-over look in his eyes...

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

These two will be a chore to clean...

Wonderfully elegant as I would expect of you!

 

[Mr. Garrulus]

Thanks! The one with the pique front I bought already yesterday and the first one I found today and couldn't let it be since I was looking for a shirt with a bib like that one, it has even the year in it, 1934.
