Marc, what's the date on your one?

Do you have a fabric close(r)-up pic?

No date on it, alas. Here are some closeups. Note that the jacket has two breast pockets:

Great pattern, looks like a perfect fit, and you look as at home with that elegant and beautiful woman as it is possible to be, Marc.

The great eye opener of Apparel Arts (& Esquire) is the color combinations shown there. It wasn't all chalk stripes and white shirts. There were beautiful variations and often illustrations are very clear about "with this color suit, wear this color shirt, this type of tie, these socks..."


That suit would lose 80% of its charm paired with a plain old white shirt!

Thanks! I completely agree with you about the white shirt.

there are a couple of 2 breast-pocketed jackets in the sports coat thread too ! i hadn't seen this before on vintage.
i have a modern 30s inspired jacket that has 2 breast pockets and i thought it was just trying to be clever.

That is a sharp looking suit you are wearing Marc. You are a shining example of style and grace.

Guys like you are an inspiration. I'm always learning new things and finding more 'stylistic touches' that I like. You and other Loungers, with your fine lids and threads, give me ideas to run with. Thank you for the kind compliments, and thank you for teaching me! :eusa_clap

I think it is all the other way but thank you kindly.

Thanks!


At the Cicada Club, some guy I didn't recognize asked me if it was a Thom Browne suit. :eusa_doh:


I really wanted to say to him, "Notice the jacket's decent length. Notice the high waist on the trousers. Notice the slight break at the trouser cuffs. Don't even think of mentioning it and that organ grinder monkey tailor, Thom Browne. in the same breath."

Thom Browne!? You didn't say they were smoking dope at that club. :eusa_doh:
Did he have a seeing eye dog and a cane?

James, I tried not to even look at the guy. I just shook my head in disbelief ... and dismay. :eusa_doh:

That suit looks good on you Marc. It is one of the most interesting colour combinations I have seen, and you have certainly emphasised that with the shirt.

Kindest Regards
