Show us your repro suits

[Matt Deckard]

Seing as Repro is starting to bug the tailors around me I figure it's time to showcase the guys who are out there doing it right.

Jorge Avalos suit from, well... a few years back.

Show us your repro suits, jackets, trousers, sport jackets.

Do repro sportcoats count? http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=17935

[Matt Deckard]

I don't want to cover off the rack suits... it's nice, though I don't consider it a repro.

read the bottom line of my first post.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Got it. Thanks! I was very impressed with Benny's jacket and wish that his tailor were around here.

[Mr. Rover]

Hideki Okisaka up to anything new?

 

[Mr. 'H']

Yeah! His work was truely amazing.

Ray, your recent suits (linen etc.) are really really nice. You have great taste.

 

[PADDY]

SORRY.

Delete my post please. I hadn't realised the RL off the rack I posted didn't fit the bill. Apologies.

 

[Mr. Rover]

Thanks very much! I also think that Sen. Jack and Hemingway have gotten some repro stuff made, some of them from on-line tailors.
Does J. Peterman stuff count as repro?

So as not to waste more bandwidth with pictures, here's the links to my newest additions:
Linen beltback
Navy Stripe DB

Good question. I think that Matt might be focusing on stuff that's custom made for folks who ask for specific items/details to be reproduced.

[Matt Deckard]

Hmmm Peterman... I'd consider it like RL. I think this a better way to showcase those local tailors whom are doing a good job.

Ray's Linen Beltback

It must be the texture of linen that makes that beltback so cool. In the Durrell TV movie (see other thread) the Greek scientist wears one and it looks great like yours Ray with that lived in look.

Deckard: May I be so bold as to say... I'm not sure the three buttons or really wide trousers are doing you many favours. They seem to make you appear wider as a consequence. I know they are features from the period you like, but perhaps two buttons or a slightly smaller trouser leg would suit you better? Just some constructive criticism.

 

[Orgetorix]

To be charitable to Matt, I think he's said he has lost weight since that photo was taken. So he really was wider--it's not just an illusion created by the clothes.

 

[Jovan]

Okay, my bad. -_-

 

[Mr. Rover]

:eusa_clap Yeah- Matt has lost ALOT of weight since that picture....look at the pictures of the two RL suits I gave him- quite svelte

Where are those pictures?

 

[Mr. Rover]

Show us your suits 3?

 

[resortes805]

I had this guys especially made for this year's Viva Las Vegas...tweed belted Hollywood Jacket (based off the pattern of Fellow Lounger Snookie)

 

[resortes805]

I wore this suit last night, and I just realized that until then, I had no pictures of it.

I designed this suit myself and had it made about two or three years ago. Two-tone gab (navy blue and B&W houndstooth) with pleated patch pockets, modified 'hollywood' collar & lapels, cartoonishly padded shoulders and pinched waist, with matching high waisted hollywood draped and pegged trousers.
