Website's pictures:
This is a thing of beauty--I especially love the color; really nice.
Vintage Dior? New Dior doesn't make anything nearly that cool anymore, unfortunately. Nice moustache!Lee M Roberts said:Here's my latest purchase. Ok its not really vintage and I dont wear it too well but it was a Christian Dior suit for £8 at a local charity shop I could'nt argue
Its actually a grey pinstripe until I overdid the effects

That is a very pretty sport coat. I love the pocket detail. Can't wait to see the posted pic (hint) of you wearing it.

That's an extremely problematic fix; a long-shot at best, I'm afraidFeraud said:The left sleeve is a good three inches shorter than the right. I hope a tailor can correct this.
I agree. It is too bad because the suit is in excellent condition.Tomasso said:That's an extremely problematic fix; a long-shot at best, I'm afraid
Feraud said:Just picked up this 2 piece suit by Shaw Ross.
The only problem is the former owner had one arm shorter than the other. The left sleeve is a good three inches shorter than the right. I hope a tailor can correct this.

It's a shame they are not worn every day!
Oh hell, it's only money. A sharp kid like you can always make more. Besides, these old suits are all gonna get bought up in a few years and you won't even be able to find them, let alone buy them.Mr. Rover said:All are from eBay and I paid too much for 2 of them unfortunately...but I realized that I have so little from my favorite menswear era, as a lot of my stuff is later 40s and early 50s, so I uh.....prioritized.
